I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

– – – – – –

A Supreme Being from the Gouchen Starfield shattered the chaos with a divine map in hand.

Map?

I just acquired a Nine Li Diagram, and now another map appears. I wonder where this map is, whether it's in the Gouchen Starfield, and whether it was destroyed in the past Dark Turmoil.

Luo Mo stepped forward, wiping away the mottled traces of time from the engraved map.

The moment his palm touched it, a peculiar wave emanated, and an immortal aura awakened on the engraved map, flowing, glowing. The mottled traces produced by soaking in water fell off, revealing the true appearance of the engraved map, as if it had just been carved.

And on the first engraved map, the divine map in the old man's hand also became clear. The divine map was vast, covering the starfield, opening up chaos in the desolate borders of the universe. There were figures in the divine map, but they were blurred and unrecognizable.

The engraved map was already glowing on its own, as if it had just been carved, but the figures in that divine map were still blurred, one could only say that it was originally like that.

However, those figures had various patterns, Great Dao symbols, and were surrounded by various auspicious clouds and radiance, like gods.

"Woof, could this be the Myriad Gods Diagram?"

The Black Dog looked at the clearer engraved map and said, "There was once an ancient emperor in the Gouchen Starfield who refined an imperial weapon called the Myriad Gods Diagram. Could this be it in the engraved map?"

Ye Fan was very curious, "How do you know this, dead dog?"

It was one thing for Luo Mo to know many secrets, after all, Luo Mo had always been mysterious, with various treasures and secret techniques emerging endlessly, many of which gave him a feeling even more powerful than the Nine Secrets.

But Luo Mo's affairs didn't need to be investigated deeply, he would tell himself when he wanted to, but how could a dead dog also know so many secrets?

The Black Emperor bit over without saying a word, "Who are you calling a dead dog? This Emperor thinks you're the one who's dead!"

"Don't bite, don't bite, damn it!"

In a man-dog war, Ye Fan ultimately couldn't escape the fate of being bitten by a dog.

"The ancient emperor of the Gouchen Starfield?"

Luo Mo walked step by step towards the Immortal Mansion gate, resisting the turbulent flow透出 from the Immortal Mansion gate. The Immortal Slaying Staff震动, separating the raging torrent. Seeing this, the Black Emperor stopped fighting with Ye Fan and quickly followed Luo Mo inside.

"Immortal Mansion, the name is quite arrogant."

"That dead dog!"

Ye Fan was a little annoyed looking at the tooth marks on his body. This dog had copper skin and iron bones, very tough. In the past, Ye Fan's physical body was actually comparable to it.

Now he was confident he could beat it, but because it was brought by Luo Mo, he couldn't go all out, but this dog wouldn't hold back.

Indeed, a shameless dog is invincible.

Following behind Luo Mo, stepping into the Immortal Mansion gate, they immediately felt the difference here. Although the water at the deepest part of the Transformation Immortal Pond was comparable to the ninth level of the Jade Pool, the vitality behind this gate was completely different, it was like… it was like…

The difference between divine source and ordinary source.

Sure enough, there was a path to immortality beneath the Transformation Immortal Pond. After entering the Immortal Mansion gate, a vast small world appeared here, with mountains stretching across, dragon veins dormant, and the terrain arranged very mysteriously. It was a divine land where celestial beings descended to the mortal world.

Luo Mo looked far into the distance, and from the distant place blocked by chaos, he could see a vague immortal walking out of the chaos. That was a path to immortality in the past.

Ye Fan also opened his Source Heavenly Eye, looking at this terrain.

"What!"

He was extremely shocked, because he saw an immortal coming out of the chaos. This terrain was even more terrifying than the three絕 terrains of the Transformation Immortal Pond!

It's just that this immortal path was broken, right at the entrance of the Immortal Mansion, because of a pond.

After entering the Immortal Mansion gate, the water of the Transformation Immortal Pond was isolated outside, but it drew out a stream, forming a pond. The pond was empty, but they vaguely felt a green lotus.

"Is this where the Azure Emperor was born? The water of the Transformation Immortal Pond was drawn here, and the power of the terrain also converged here. The mysterious vitality flowing out of the chaos and the moisture of the Transformation Immortal Pond all converged into this small pond, forming a pool of creation divine water…"

This pond is a priceless treasure!

"Hehe, this Emperor will enjoy it first."

The Black Emperor couldn't wait to jump into the pond, and with a clang, he hit the surface of the water.

"What's going on? This water is hard, hey, hey, hey…"

Before the Black Emperor could finish speaking, he slowly sank down.

"Ah—"

He let out a pig-slaughtering scream, his dog body was kneaded out of shape, and his bones were deformed, making unbearable cracking sounds.

"Hey, you dead dog, serves you right."

Ye Fan squatted beside him watching the fun. Seeing that the Black Emperor wouldn't die for a while, he asked Luo Mo, "What's going on?"

"Chaos encompasses everything, so this pool of water is based on chaotic energy, combined with the water of the Transformation Immortal Pond and the vitality of the immortal realm. This kind of chaotic energy can generally only be used in formations. To refine it with the physical body, you must have special methods or physiques, or forcibly refine some with the cultivation of a sage realm, but that is very inefficient, and generally sages cannot use it."

Luo Mo held up some of the pond water, clear and flawless, unable to see anything special, but it was very heavy, trapping the Black Emperor inside and unable to move, because he couldn't absorb this kind of pond water.

"And no one has been here for a long time, accumulating too much vitality."

After listening to the explanation, Ye Fan keenly grasped a key word, "Immortal realm vitality? Are there really immortals in this world?"

"Yes."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who knows if there are immortals or not, hurry up and pull this Emperor up!"

The Black Emperor found that he was sinking deeper and deeper, and couldn't escape. The vitality contained in this pond was like a sea of stars. His little cultivation couldn't even make a ripple in this small pond.

If even his head sank down, he would really be squeezed into dog biscuits!

"Am I talking nonsense? Then you can soak there."

Luo Mo ignored the dog and slowly walked into the pond from the other side. The water here was very viscous and heavy. Luo Mo walked in and moved freely, as if pushing a divine mountain.

"The immortal realm vitality here is rich, very suitable for cultivation."

Luo Mo raised his hand, releasing a large number of people, as well as a dazzling immortal light.

That was the Arctic Immortal Light, each one several feet long, like a spiritual dragon cast in light, making the Black Emperor's saliva flow straight down.

"What good stuff is this?"

"Guess."

Ye Fan deliberately provoked him.

Luo Mo released thousands of Arctic Immortal Lights, and also released more than a thousand people, more than three hundred of whom were those cultivators in the Sendai realm he had suppressed before.

Ye Fan understood the reason after thinking about it, knowing that Luo Mo must have made Fatty Duan take the blame.

Well, serves him right, who told that dead fatty to snatch several psychic treasures from me before!

"Cultivate separately, reshape your foundation, refine the Arctic Immortal Light. This immortal light is compatible with the primordial spirit and can extend your lifespan by at least three hundred years."

Tool people, of course, it's more cost-effective to keep them alive and working. It just so happened that Luo Mo had a lot of Arctic Immortal Light.

"We obey the Dao Friend's decree."

After receiving the Arctic Immortal Light, a group of tool people cultivated quietly here. The newly arrived Luo Mo also passed on to them the Taiyin Sun Sutra and the general outline of the Great Yin-Yang Technique, enough for them to reshape their foundation. With the Arctic Immortal Light, they also had hope for advancement in the future, so they wouldn't be stuck in the Great Power realm for the rest of their lives, unable to make any progress.

Ye Fan happily received two Arctic Immortal Lights and cultivated next to the Black Emperor, with a sly smile on his face.

"You brat…"

The Black Emperor's saliva was about to flow out when he saw the Arctic Immortal Light. He couldn't bother to scold Ye Fan, stretched out his dog tongue, and tried to roll one over, but was pressed into the transparent pond water by Ye Fan.

The pond water was heavy, and immediately pressed the Black Emperor so that he couldn't move, his eyes widened, and he made a silent wailing sound, probably cursing people.

"Clear your mind and start cultivating."

Ye Fan smiled, and after teasing the Black Emperor, he began to refine the Arctic Immortal Light with peace of mind.

The Black Emperor was sealed in the incomparably heavy pond water. After cursing for a while, he found that no one paid attention to him, so he could only grit his teeth and cultivate, thinking that he would bite Ye Fan to death when he went out.

He was like being sealed in amber, biting an Arctic Immortal Light and beginning to refine it.

On the other side, Luo Mo slowly stepped into the pond, his body glowing, walking little by little towards the center of the pond. Although the pond was not big, it was very deep, engulfing him.

The Azure Emperor had left here for tens of thousands of years, and no other creatures had enjoyed its nourishment. Chaos accommodates everything. The water of the Transformation Immortal Pond and the vitality of the immortal realm that had flowed here for tens of thousands of years had accumulated to an extremely rich level, causing every wisp of chaotic water vapor to be as heavy as a mountain.

If it were a cultivator with a weaker physique, he would not be able to enter the pond at all, and could only slowly absorb it from above, and he would also have to have the ability to absorb this chaotic water vapor.

Before reaching the sage, it was difficult to refine.

And those who could refine it before the sage, it was not possible to cultivate the Devouring Heaven Magic Art and the Undying Heavenly Art so quickly to form a chaotic body.

Only the innate chaotic body, the chaotic green lotus transformed by the Azure Emperor, and Luo Mo, an anomaly, could use this cultivation place that the Gouchen Ancient Emperor tailored for the Azure Emperor.

Growing up here, it was no wonder that the Azure Emperor could transform. It was not innate, but intentionally enlightened by a Supreme Being to repay the favor of extending his imperial life by one lifetime.

Luo Mo sank himself into the center of the pond, and then circulated the Three Thousand Great Daos, began to draw on the power here, and enjoyed the nourishment and irrigation that the Azure Emperor had received.

In the tens of thousands of years since the Azure Emperor left, the accumulated pond water of the Transformation Immortal Pond and the pond water mixed with the vitality of the immortal realm and chaotic energy, every drop could fill Luo Mo's 129,600 acupoints.

Although he could fight against a sage, he was nothing on the pyramid-like cultivation ladder. If such a huge amount of vitality could be refined, perhaps he could find a way to advance to the Longevity Secret Realm.

Entering the Longevity Secret Realm should have the baptism of immortal realm laws, this step would become simpler.

But Luo Mo was in the Shrouding the Heavens world, and could not enjoy this benefit. He had a premonition that he would probably have to walk in step by step.

It was like in modern society, going from a high-rise with elevators to one without. Originally, upon entering the building, you could enjoy the convenience of taking an elevator directly to your desired floor.

Now that's gone. You're not in the original world, not in the original building. To reach the same height, you have to climb step by step.

An average person's accumulation might only be three to five floors, but with Luo Mo's accumulation, he'd probably have to climb hundreds.

Just thinking about it is exhausting. Who knows how long this hurdle will hold him back. The immortal energy in this world contains very little Dao principles that can help the Eternal Life Method, almost none, because it's a completely different system. Only Yuan Qi is useful and can be accumulated.

First, he needs to cultivate to the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate. Luo Mo remembered that the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate, is a threshold. Upon reaching this realm, first, one can see their own lifespan clearly.

Second, because one can already see their own lifespan and touch a trace of fate's hem, they can cultivate the Lesser Destiny Technique, a branch of the Great Destiny Technique.

Stepping into the tenth level of Eternal Life, although the mana won't increase, stuck at the threshold of one dragon's power, just the Lesser Destiny Technique alone can bring earth-shattering changes to Luo Mo's combat power.

The power of the Lesser Destiny Technique is the most direct way to improve combat power: life-force consumption!

The pool water was continuously refined.

Initially, a layer of cavitation occurred only around Luo Mo's body, and then a small vortex formed, pouring towards the top of his head.

Luo Mo's nine spiritual seas expanded again, and this time the expansion was different from before. While the nine spiritual seas expanded, each spiritual sea actually produced a vortex. Mana was constantly stirred by the vortex, becoming turbulent and surging, like the sea or a prison.

Luo Mo even felt that the condensation of mana in his nine spiritual seas had doubled. Every crystal-clear strand of mana was like an ice crystal, sharp and fierce, and constantly drawing upon the power of karma for tempering, reaching a state of clarity and illumination. A halo of wisdom appeared behind his head, circling and seemingly penetrating into the void, illuminating the boundless void world.

But he had not yet broken through to the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate. This was because his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was not yet complete.

The Dao Venerable Dharma Idol changed. The three crowns on its head transformed into three thousand-colored lotus crowns, even more condensed than before. Each lotus crown had a different posture, representing the past, present, and future.

The light of wisdom shone forth, like the heavens bestowing enlightenment, benefiting the world, with countless golden divine phantoms chanting, emitting an aura of peace, harmony, wisdom, and clarity.

For a time, everyone and even the dog felt their wisdom was clear and their cultivation problems were easily solved. The speed of refining the Arctic Immortal Light also increased slightly.

This was a domain, although only a prototype, but it was indeed a domain. Under normal circumstances, only experts at the second level of Eternal Life, Undying Body, could possess a true domain.

Subsequently, the five-colored imperial robe on Luo Mo became even more condensed. At the positions corresponding to the five internal organs, continents actually appeared on the robe: Central Province, Eastern Wilderness, Southern Ridge, Western Desert, Northern Plains, similar to the Big Dipper, like a world. Moreover, it manifested, with countless human shadows offering sacrifices, the vigorous aura of human life and the thoughts of all beings transmitted, hearts united, vast as a dragon, the power of wishes unstoppable.

Blessed by the power of the wishes of all beings, as this humane domain full of the aura of human life manifested, several people immediately broke through their realms and condensed divine power. Dark clouds rolled in this small world, about to condense into a lightning tribulation.

At the hem of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, the Demon Realm directly encroached out. Demonic mist paved the way, and the Netherworld walked among humans. For a time, the entire pond became gray, filled with death. All vitality was swallowed by the demonic mist.

The people who were enjoying the blessing of the Heavenly Realm and Human Realm domains and refining the Arctic Immortal Light were shocked because the demonic mist covered them, and their cultivation in this demonic mist seemed to disappear instantly. All their Dao practices, divine arts, and Nine Secrets could not be used. The rules were completely subverted, rewritten, and manipulated.

Subsequently, the howling of billions of Netherworld ghosts was heard. They followed the demonic mist and wanted to rush out of the Dao Venerable Dharma Idol's robe and devour all living things.

This was a Netherworld Hell world domain.

The lightning tribulation that had just condensed in the sky suddenly dissipated, because the aura of great disaster emanated from the triple domain, obscuring the tribulation crossers. The tribulation clouds dissipated before they could completely condense.

Great Karma Technique, Great Summoning Technique, Great Netherworld Technique... various Great Daos manifested from Luo Mo's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol. With the infusion of massive amounts of Yuan Qi, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol became even more solid.

Heaven, Earth, and Man.

I am the master of the Three Realms.

With the Three Realms appearing together, the domains superimposed, Luo Mo's Dao Venerable Dharma Idol finally completed its foundation. Only the last step remained before he could begin to break through to the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate.

Influenced by Luo Mo, the Tool Man and Ye Fan each left. Those who should undergo tribulation underwent tribulation, those who should cultivate continued to cultivate. The dog was also pulled out by the Tool Man to prevent it from affecting Luo Mo.

As soon as Black Emperor came out, he wanted to bite Ye Fan, but he was glared back by the First Great Bandit, the Old Immortal, because he would not allow anything to disturb Luo Mo's cultivation.

Luo Mo continued to cultivate in the center of the pond. One day, two days, three days... time passed slowly. The water level of the pond was constantly decreasing, but relative to the depth of dozens of feet, it only dropped a few millimeters a day. If it weren't for the precise spiritual sense of the cultivators, they wouldn't be able to detect it at all.

The Yuan Qi contained in this pool of water was too vast. It was impossible to refine it in a short time.

But even absorbing a little bit was of great benefit to Luo Mo, because this was the divine liquid carefully blended by an ancient emperor using immortal realm Yuan Qi and the essence of the Transformation Immortal Pool to nurture Emperor Qing and allow him to transform.

After a full half month, Luo Mo's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol accumulated enough Yuan Qi, and a treasure mirror appeared behind his head, emitting an aura of light and wisdom, illuminating all realms.

Even in such a treasure land, Luo Mo spent so much time absorbing Yuan Qi to condense a Heavenly Dao Mirror. One can imagine how difficult it was for his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol to be complete.

After another half month, a talisman gradually condensed in the treasure mirror, imprinting various Heavenly Dao rules and divine decrees. The Heavenly Dao Mirror illuminated everything, while the Heavenly Dao Talisman restrained everything, issued rules, and governed all things with the decree of the Heavenly Dao.

After another month, the Humane Scepter and Humane Sword in the Dao Venerable Dharma Idol's hands were also completely condensed from their previous illusory state, becoming Dharma Idol treasures held in his hands.

The scepter represented majesty, shepherding all beings, and the sword represented killing, opening up new territories.

After another month, the two Netherworld Dharma Idol treasures were also successfully condensed. A Bridge of Rebirth appeared under Luo Mo's feet, extending behind him, leading to the unknown. On both sides of the Bridge of Rebirth were various evil ghosts, and even the bridge itself was made of white bones.

A green oil lamp appeared, followed by many ghostly shadows, guiding them to step onto this bridge.

At this point, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol had been completely condensed successfully.

At the moment when the lantern condensed and appeared, Luo Mo suddenly felt his spirit become clearer than ever before, and a will communicated with the heavens and earth, penetrating time and space.

The sky was no longer the sky, and the earth was no longer the earth.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, eleven months, and thirty days.

Every moment that passed, Luo Mo clearly felt that a moment of his life was flowing into the endless void.

Lifespan was decreasing every moment.

He clearly saw his fate, no longer needing the True Spirit Seal to tell him.

In this world, the time of existence is fate, and the quality of existence is luck. Fate is determined by heaven, and luck follows man's actions. Every move affects the fate in the dark, circulating endlessly.

Luo Mo's eyes saw more things. This world was not the world in the eyes of ordinary people. Not to mention the high and ethereal fate, just the void alone had countless layers. Just like the Eternal Exile that Wang Teng had once used, the layers of overlapping void contained many spaces. The spiritual sense and consciousness could already perceive them and penetrate into them, feeling bursts of Yuan Qi that could not be felt at ordinary times.

The understanding of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the void universe, and various Dao principles was ten times clearer than before. This was the ability of the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate, brought about by the complete condensation of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, becoming a special existence, allowing oneself to understand a trace of heavenly fate and know one's lifespan.

At this moment, he knew that he had finally broken through and reached the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate.

The tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate, had no gorgeous changes. It only allowed the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol to echo with oneself after it was completed, giving a fundamental understanding of one's own fate and the world's luck, which could be seen directly.

More importantly, the Lesser Destiny Technique, a branch of the Great Destiny Technique, those rune Dao marks that Luo Mo could not understand, were now repeatedly scouring his mind, and he actually understood some of them.

But Luo Mo also confirmed a fact, that is, when he raised his head, he could not see the road ahead.

At the tenth level of Divine Power, one should be able to raise their head and see the Gate of the Immortal Realm. Behind the Gate of the Immortal Realm lies infinite mysteries and infinite treasures. As long as the answer is opened, countless treasures will fall down, nourishing cultivators with immortal realm Yuan Qi and refining them with immortal realm Dao principles, allowing them to cultivate more quickly in the Eternal Life Secret Realm.

Cultivators at the peak of the tenth level of Divine Power, Reversing Fate, can obtain infinite Great Dao laws and infinite immortal realm Yuan Qi and step into the Eternal Life Secret Realm as long as they blast open the Gate of the Immortal Realm, and then they can communicate with the Gate of the Immortal Realm at all times to obtain Yuan Qi replenishment.

But, Luo Mo had nothing above his head.

Since there was none, then he would forge a Gate of the Immortal Realm himself!
