I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

“Then I shall take my leave.”

Luo Mo was a man of action. Upon hearing Gu Manlu mention the restlessness of the Heavenly Prince, he immediately went to take him away and resolve the issue quickly.

“Please wait a moment.”

The Queen Mother spoke to detain him. This leader of the Jade Pool was now over two thousand years old, a contemporary of many Holy Land Lords and Great Sect Masters, with little lifespan remaining.

As an elder, she had watched Luo Mo grow. When Luo Mo first came to Jade Pool, he was only at the Dao Palace realm. Now, he had become a Source Master, a transformation so great it filled her with emotion.

And she remained at the Great Power realm, the hurdle of severing the Dao like an insurmountable chasm before her.

“Does Senior have other matters?”

The Queen Mother looked at her own Holy Maiden beside her and smiled, “No, it’s just that the people seeking marriage with my Jade Pool have disappeared recently.”

Gu Manlu did not expect the Queen Mother to tease her like this, and blushed with embarrassment.

This was natural. It was still acceptable before, but now, who would dare come to Jade Pool to seek marriage? Wouldn't that be courting death?

“I am busy and time is short. I intend to become a Great Saint within twenty years.”

Luo Mo planned to possess the battle power of an Emperor Weapon within two hundred years, so the goal of becoming a Great Saint within twenty years was reasonable.

Saying this to them now was merely an answer.

“Twenty years? Isn't that too rushed? I fear it will be counterproductive.” The Queen Mother had great faith in Luo Mo's talent and believed he could become a Great Saint, but twenty years was simply too short. An occasional closed-door cultivation, and twenty years would slip away through one's fingers.

“The Way of Source Arts cannot be measured by ordinary standards.”

Luo Mo extended a hand, and chains of Source energy intertwined, actually creating several fist-sized small worlds in the void.

One world shone brightly, its yang energy like flames, intertwined with seven yang energy divine laws.

One world shimmered with nine colors, its golden light like swords, aggregating nine golden energy chain divine laws.

One world was filled with death energy, quiet as a final resting place, like the end of all things.

The three miniature worlds rotated in Luo Mo's palm as he said, “I have pioneered another path of Source Arts. Condensing one divine law makes one a Source Master, equivalent to a Saint. One to nine is a Law Master, equivalent to a Saint King. The number of nine nines is a Grand Master, creating the origin of the world, equivalent to a Great Saint. In fact, it is not far off.”

Luo Mo's progress in Source Arts could not be judged by ordinary standards, because it was not traditional Source Arts at all, and Source Arts and the secret realms of the human body were very different in nature.

The path of Source Arts he now possessed, if one succeeded, would lead to a Saint King, and he now had three, not counting the fourth path of Dragon Dao law Source Arts that he had not yet opened up because of the Pure Yang Mirror.

Of course, this example could not perfectly describe the path of Source Arts, after all, there were differences, but Luo Mo was indeed cultivating the later realms in advance.

Although they knew a little more about Source Arts than others because of the Fifth Generation Source Master, they did not know too much, and could only marvel at the wonders of Source Arts.

“Then, I will wait for your twenty years, and I will still be able to see it then.”

The Queen Mother chuckled. She could still wait twenty years. After all, the peaches of the Jade Pool were good for prolonging life, saving her the effort of finding precious medicines, allowing her to see that day.

Gu Manlu, hearing the teasing of her elder, felt flustered and could only force herself to remain calm, “Be cautious when dealing with the Ancient Clans.”

“Alright.” He did not delay any further, “I will go back and deal with the Heavenly Prince.”

Not far away was the Nine Aperture Divine Stone. Luo Mo stroked it before leaving, and a wisp of divine thought probed into it, telling her about recent events.

Yaoyao could not yet be born, so she knew very little about the outside world. The Sages of Jade Pool only lectured her on scriptures and laws, wanting to transform her into a benevolent spirit. They also did not allow outsiders and disciples to contact her, so the days she had experienced added up were not as interesting as a few words with Luo Mo.

Yaoyao had obtained some of the Three Thousand Great Dao methods, and her cultivation had improved, shortening the original time limit of six thousand years to less than a thousand years.

She was also working hard, wanting to reach perfection within two hundred years, hoping to be able to help Luo Mo at that time.

“How is the Divine Stone recently?”

“Soon, it will soon be born.” Luo Mo stroked the Nine Aperture Stone Embryo.

… …

The Heavenly Prince was taken away by Luo Mo, a message the Ancient Clans had no way of knowing.

Because he had disrupted the original plot, the Eight Legions were still obediently staying in Purple Mountain and had not yet been born.

But if it were the Eight Legions, perhaps they could be used. After all, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was respected by all races in those years, and many races willingly joined his command, planting bloodline oaths. Among the Eight Legions, there were many races with dragon blood.

Therefore, Luo Mo had such an idea.

The old site of Jade Pool.

Luo Mo returned here with the Void Divine Pot, and cut open the stone material.

At this moment, before him was a youth so handsome to the extreme, whose beauty could overwhelm the masses if he dressed as a woman. The Heavenly Prince's skin was quite good, after all, he possessed the bloodline of a Divine Phoenix.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Prince was imprisoned in the void. The six divine stele diagrams sealed the power of space, divine laws, and divine thoughts. His consciousness was almost extinguished, unable to even feel the passage of time.

Only when Luo Mo's divine thought, like a heavenly blade, cut open his primordial spirit, could he operate a trace of divine thought because of the loosening of the Six Seals of Immortality.

“Abominable… Even if… even if I burn my primordial spirit… I will not give you the scriptures…”

The Heavenly Prince's divine thought transmitted intermittent fluctuations under Luo Mo's suppression.

Luo Mo: “…”

He might have misunderstood. Luo Mo cut open his primordial spirit not to search for the scriptures and secret techniques in his memory. After all, Luo Mo had already copied that thing, and the demon race was currently practicing it.

“Don't talk, it will be over soon.”

The Heavenly Prince wanted to destroy his own memory, but Luo Mo did not explore that place at all, but connected his divine thoughts to all parts of his primordial spirit, like tentacles, covering his entire primordial spirit.

Then, the divine light and fire burned.

“You want to burn your primordial spirit? Then I will help you.”

The Heavenly Prince's primordial spirit immediately burned, incomparably fiercely.

“What are you doing?!”

He shouted in horror.

Originally, he burned his primordial spirit in order not to let Luo Mo obtain the scriptures and secret techniques he possessed, destroying that part of his memory, intending to perish together, not allowing the human race to take advantage even if he died.

But how could he have thought that Luo Mo would not reason with him at all? What scriptures and secret techniques? I don't want them!

You want to burn your primordial spirit?

Alright, I will help you.

Burn! Burn a lot of fire!

“Let you die, what else can I do.”

This was the light of the primordial spirit, the fire of transformation, fierce and unparalleled. Once it burned, it was almost impossible to reverse, it would turn into nothing, scattered between heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Prince's primordial spirit had already burned from the inside out, very evenly, the fire of transformation was brilliant, this was the most beautiful and magnificent scene, the bloom of a cultivator burning himself out.

“No, you can't kill me!” The Heavenly Prince cried out in alarm. At this time, even the power of the Six Seals of Immortality had loosened a lot, at least it no longer suppressed his primordial spirit, but his body was still unable to move.

With Luo Mo's current Source Arts cultivation, even the Emperor's Son's Dao Transformation Flames couldn't shake the seals he had laid down. Therefore, this ball of Dao Transformation Flames only burned intensely at the Emperor's Son's brow.

"Reason," Luo Mo said, playing with him like a child.

"I can buy my life!" the Emperor's Son shouted.

"Saint Weapons, my father's forbidden items, the heart of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree… I have many treasures. As long as it can buy my life, you can have them all!"

"If I kill you, won't they all be mine anyway?"

"Only a portion is on me!" the Emperor's Son's nascent soul, burning with Dao Flames, immediately shouted, "Many treasures are not on me. As long as you let me go, I can have someone send them over immediately!"

The Dao Transformation Flames were already approaching a dangerous limit. If it continued, even the profound techniques and secret arts left by his father, the Undying Emperor, couldn't stop it. Dao Transformation would enter an irreversible final stage, and he would undoubtedly die!

"Oh."

Luo Mo responded, which confused the Emperor's Son. He hurriedly said, "What I said is true. Just take my token, and the treasures will definitely be delivered to you!"

"…"

Luo Mo didn't want to play with him anymore. The Dao Flames then burned fiercely, directly entering the irreversible Dao Transformation stage.

"Ah—you will die a horrible death! A horrible death!"

The Emperor's Son also desperately tried, because he was already in a situation where death was certain. He used secret techniques, burning his nascent soul, and sent out the most obscure fluctuations to transmit a message, telling others who he died at the hands of, so they could avenge him.

But unfortunately.

Luo Mo had scanned him long ago. Luo Mo knew all the secret techniques he knew, so the message he sent was blocked by layers of seals, erased, and couldn't be transmitted at all.

The Dao Transformation Flames were extremely fierce, and with Luo Mo increasing their power, this Dao Transformation ended quickly in a few breaths, with remnants of Dao marks filling the void.

This was somewhat different from ordinary Dao Transformation.

Three Thousand Great Daos, Great Sacrificial Art, sacrificing the Emperor's Son!

Those remnants of Dao Transformation flickered, outlining an altar in the void, and in the very center of the altar was the Emperor's Son's shell.

Luo Mo used the Immortal Sealing Six Arts to protect his body, only allowing his nascent soul to undergo Dao Transformation. Therefore, a complete Immortal Phoenix Body remained here.

The altar in the void shone, and Luo Mo sprinkled divine springs and jade soil, solemnly filling this altar.

He had never cultivated the Great Sacrificial Art before, so the power he could unleash was not great. He couldn't directly sacrifice the Emperor's Son; some cumbersome processes were required to set up a sacrificial array.

The altar was quickly completed, because Luo Mo didn't lack divine materials.

But then, Luo Mo refined it for a full seven days and seven nights. Strands of Yuan Qi flew out of his body, outlining a human body above the altar.

Black hair, black eyes, handsome face, black clothes with a red belt, radiant and spirited—it was actually one of Luo Mo's identities: Xiao Yan.

Three Thousand Great Daos, Great Incarnation Art, External Avatar!

Luo Mo transformed a portion of his Yuan Qi, constructing an external avatar with the profoundness of the Great Incarnation Art. This was different from ordinary avatars.

Ordinary avatars require a portion of Luo Mo's supernatural powers or cultivation methods, but external avatars can be constructed with other Yuan Qi. They are not transformed from oneself but are equivalent to entering another body.

As for whether this other body is created by oneself or picked up ready-made, it depends on the user's own thoughts.

And Luo Mo's choice was to create it himself, not using the Emperor's Son's original body, but using the profoundness of the Great Sacrificial Art to transfer the Emperor's Son's source power almost perfectly to his external avatar.

The Great Sacrificial Art is a Three Thousand Great Daos that can perfectly transform power. It can sacrifice various treasures to obtain power. Luo Mo was using a very unconventional method here.

As the sacrifice progressed, the Emperor's Son's body continuously emitted five-colored divine light, which merged into Xiao Yan's avatar.

Great Bloodline Art, Great Source Art, Great Transformation Art, Great Five Elements Art, Great Treasure Refining Art…

This was shaping the external avatar, and also refining a weapon. Xiao Yan's identity was being transformed into an Immortal Phoenix bloodline, performing a heaven-stealing, sun-swapping feat.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan on the altar opened his eyes, and two divine lights shattered the Emperor's Son's body, instantly transforming into countless five-colored divine feathers. Beads of five-colored essence blood floated among them, and a massive amount of divine essence Qi lay dormant, like a vast ocean, all surging toward Xiao Yan's body at this moment.

The altar's array patterns transmitted, each rune being incomparably blazing, transmitting a considerable amount of Yuan Qi, vast as a river. The Yuan Qi within the Emperor's Son's body seemed endless.

That ocean-like essence Qi made Luo Mo envious.

"This is the power of the Creation Source Eye, a good thing that can improve aptitude, rarely seen in the world."

It was all taken away by the Undying Emperor; he only had one eldest son, but several younger sons.

As the divine light Yuan Qi was continuously drawn away by the altar, even the sea-like Yuan Qi was about to dry up. Luo Mo sacrificed here for a full half month before the vast divine essence within the Emperor's Son's body was finally completely drawn out by the altar, all transformed into Xiao Yan's avatar.

This guy had too much capital. His talent was already good; he had an Immortal Phoenix bloodline. He didn't know how many good things he had eaten during his cultivation, and he even fused with a Creation Source Eye. This was a treasure equivalent to a divine spring, integrating into a living being's body to improve its aptitude and strengthen its origin, which was extravagant.

Luo Mo could only say that he had never been so extravagant.

The Emperor's Son had completely disappeared, with no trace left in the world. Even if the Undying Emperor tried to deduce, he wouldn't be able to deduce anything, after all, he hadn't become an immortal yet. And even if he did become an immortal, Luo Mo didn't think he could compare to the power of the True Spirit Mark.

The sacrifice finally ended. Xiao Yan's avatar landed, and then Luo Mo used the Great Karma Art to pick up strands of invisible karma threads and connect them to Xiao Yan's avatar.

Avatars do not enjoy the protection of the True Spirit Mark, which can be seen from tribulation.

Therefore, if someone tries to deduce the Emperor's Son again, they will follow the karma threads to Xiao Yan's avatar.

After doing all this, Luo Mo picked up a pile of treasures from the ground.

There were various Saint Weapons and divine treasures, but Luo Mo didn't really care for them. He only picked out a jade pendant.

This jade pendant radiated immortal light, its divine brilliance soaring to the sky, and the aura of an ancient emperor permeated it, blocked by the Void Divine Pot.

This was something the Undying Emperor had given the Emperor's Son to save his life, its effect similar to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman. Dying would allow him to be restored with great divine power, having one was equal to having an extra life.

"This is not bad."

Luo Mo had seized a Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman from Wang Teng, and now he had obtained an Undying Divine Talisman from the Emperor's Son, greatly increasing the fault tolerance rate on his cultivation path.

It should be known that such treasures are useful even when cultivation is extremely high. The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman had been shattered in the past.

Xiao Yan's avatar moved his body, then complained, "It feels okay, but not completely okay."

"Go back to the demon race."

"Understood." Xiao Yan's avatar curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile.

It should be known that Luo Mo only taught the Undying Emperor's scriptures back then, not the secret techniques, for fear of exposure.

But now, he could teach them.
