I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life
#216 - Re-entering Purple Mountain
The Human Race, through its good relations with the ancient races, sought information about their internal affairs, and vice versa. The ancient races also probed for news about the Human Race.
It was a win-win situation for both sides, benefiting twice over.
However, no matter how they probed, the Human Race seemed to have no significant movements, only forces they could anticipate.
The Jiang family, an ancient aristocratic family, had declared that a Divine King Physique had become a Saint within their ranks, but no one knew the extent of their power.
Later, they discovered that Luo Mo had visited the Jade Pool, likely to pay respects to the powerful figures there. After all, ancient emperors could refine divine source fluid, and the Jade Pool likely had powerful reserves left behind, as did the Jiang family.
Including Dongfang Taiyi, the ancient races unanimously believed that the Human Race had at least one Great Saint, and at most three, depending on how much support the Jiang family and the Jade Pool gave to the Source Heaven Sect.
Therefore, even the ancient royal families did not dare to rashly visit. They were frequently in internal contact, discussing how to divide the spoils even before planning any joint ventures. Moreover, this time it was the Myriad Dragon Nest who had invited them, and they would have to bear the brunt of the cost.
The saying "All the world's hustle and bustle is for profit" also applies to the ancient races.
Luo Mo, wielding the Eight Trigrams Plate, made some calculations and found that the situation had not yet reached its peak and still needed some brewing. Therefore, he boldly ventured into Purple Mountain.
Purple Mountain.
The village of the Zhang family descendants was no longer there. They lived in an oasis near a certain Shaking Light mining area, where living conditions were much better, at least without the worry of bandits.
The terrain of Purple Mountain was still astonishing, with the supreme formation of nine dragons guarding a pearl being even more wondrous than the Myriad Dragon Nest.
Purple Mountain had nine paths leading into it. When Luo Mo's cultivation was weaker, he could not find them all, but now that he was a Source Heaven Master, he could see through them at a glance, even spotting the ancient races slumbering within.
The Eight Legions.
As for the core of Purple Mountain, Luo Mo could not see through it, as the aura of the Emperor's Way concealed everything.
He re-entered the mine, arriving at the Yin-Yang Eyes that had blocked his path before. Back then, Luo Mo had relied on the power of a Quasi-Emperor weapon to pass through. Now, standing before the Yin-Yang Eyes again, he only needed to step forward. The Yin-Yang energy that could kill a Great Power was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.
Entering the interior of Purple Mountain, jade palaces and pavilions were covered in dust, ancient and dim. Roads led in all directions.
Entering here again, Luo Mo walked the path he had taken years ago with ease, then cast the Great Curse Technique, using the authentic Source Heaven Divine Technique and a pinch of red hair as a guide to find that trace of aura.
"Roar—"
A terrifying roar came from afar, shaking the ancient caves here as if they were about to collapse. A figure rushed over, summoned by the power of the curse.
It was a tall demonic figure, covered in red hair, with black claws growing from its five fingers, forged like divine iron, gleaming with a cold light, ready to tear Luo Mo's body apart in the next moment.
"Seal!"
Luo Mo uttered a single word, and the figure that was lunging at him was frozen in mid-air. Then, six divine steles emerged, enveloping it from all sides, imprinted upon its body.
"Ah—"
The mournful roar was like that of a wild beast, but the red hair on its body gradually receded.
Soon after, a man knelt on the ground, his skin an unnatural pale white, exuding an aura of death.
He gasped, greedily breathing in the air, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth as if he were alive.
But Luo Mo bluntly said, "Even with my help, your current state can only last for three to five days at most."
The man slowly rose, without any fear, "I am not of this world to begin with. To live a few more days is already a blessing."
He bowed to Luo Mo, "Zhang Lin, the fifth generation Source Heaven Master, thanks you, Daoist friend."
Luo Mo also gave his name, "Luo Mo, the leader of the Source Heaven Sect, the sixth generation Source Heaven Master."
Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.
"Wonderful, wonderful! I never thought that my lineage of Source Techniques would have successors, capable of restraining curses. My Dao will endure forever, and I am honored!"
"If Senior wishes to see how Source Techniques have developed in this era, please return to the Source Heaven Sect with me later."
"That is exactly what I intend to do."
Zhang Lin was very happy, never expecting that after being cursed and transformed into a half-human, half-demon, he would still have a day to regain his sanity.
"But please wait a moment, Daoist friend."
"I wronged her too much back then, and even caused her to fall into a desperate situation."
"I know your story, but what do you plan to do?"
Zhang Lin said, "Naturally, I will send her out. I only have one day left to live, but she can still live on."
"Do you want to live forever?" Luo Mo suddenly asked.
"If possible, who would want to die…" Zhang Lin suddenly reacted, "Do you have a way?"
"The method is not particularly good. Becoming a corpse puppet or becoming a divine spirit of a magical treasure, which one do you choose?"
A divine spirit of a magical treasure is a weapon spirit. Luo Mo did not have any particularly good solutions. Even divine medicine would be ineffective for Zhang Lin's current situation. His body had already been corroded by the power of the curse, and it would be difficult to maintain without the power of the curse.
Zhang Lin pondered, then said, "I was previously muddled and living in agony. If I become a corpse puppet or a divine spirit of a magical treasure, will I have consciousness?"
"Consciousness is not a problem, but the physical body will change. The former becomes a corpse puppet, and the latter completely abandons the physical body, using the magical treasure as a physical body."
Luo Mo had naturally considered Zhang Lin's concerns. After all, having memory and consciousness is what makes one truly oneself, what makes one alive.
However, both paths were not ideal. After all, at this stage, the physical body is always the foundation and cannot be abandoned. Abandoning the physical body makes it difficult to live long.
Therefore, both solutions require creating a new physical body for Zhang Lin. The former is to directly transform his cursed physical body into a kind of undead physique, and the latter is to create one artificially, transforming him into a weapon spirit.
In fact, Luo Mo thought that transforming into a magical treasure was not bad. After all, magical treasures could last for a long time, at least longer than the lifespan of cultivators.
But he only gave two paths, letting Zhang Lin choose for himself.
"However, one thing is certain, both paths are temporarily unable to have children."
In the future, when cultivation becomes stronger, death can give rise to life, or magical treasures can transform, and it will definitely be possible to combine and reproduce offspring, but that requires a relatively high level of cultivation.
"Cough cough." Zhang Lin was a little embarrassed, after all, he was still holding his beloved in his arms and was teased by Luo Mo like this.
"You said temporarily, does that mean there will be a way in the future?"
Although he was very embarrassed, he still had to ask what he needed to ask.
"When cultivation is high, everything is possible."
Zhang Lin looked down at the divine source in his arms, at the jade woman sealed within, and said tenderly, "Perhaps, I just want to be with her for the rest of my life, and that would be enough."
"The reason I came to you is actually to invite you to be an enshrined elder in the Source Heaven Sect. After all, the Source Heaven Sect that I created is now surrounded by enemies and needs a strong person like you."
According to Luo Mo's observation, Zhang Lin, this fifth-generation Source Celestial Master, is roughly at the level of a Saint King, a few levels later. Although he is not as good as Dongfang Taiyi, he is still considered decent. You must know that in this era, human Saint Kings are hard to find.
"Establishing a religion with Source Arts, how did you end up surrounded by enemies?"
Zhang Lin was somewhat puzzled. After all, when he roamed freely using Source Arts in the past, he was a guest of honor in various great sects. Ordinary forces wouldn't provoke a master of Source Arts, would they?
"Recently, many ancient races have emerged, and I've killed quite a few of them. They plan to join forces to find trouble with me."
"…"
Luo Mo's casual remark immediately choked Zhang Lin. Didn't the ancient races have ancestral kings? Zhang Lin used to travel through various forbidden areas, and when he encountered ancestral kings underground, he would avoid them, unwilling to provoke them.
The ancient races have joined forces to find trouble with you?
Zhang Lin wanted to ask Luo Mo how he managed to do that. Just how many ancient races did you kill?
Could it be that you even killed members of the ancient royal family?
Just thinking about it, the aftermath is headache-inducing. It seems that living has its troubles, and death has its peace.
"Have you decided? I thought becoming a magical artifact would be better. I created a system of Source artifacts, which is quite good."
"Then turn me into a magical artifact. But before that, I want to send her back to the Jade Pool."
Zhang Lin looked affectionately at Yang Yi in his arms. The divine source sealed and froze her appearance. She was unaware of the conversation between the two of them. "I don't want her to see it."
"That's right."
Seeing your lover turn into a magical artifact with your own eyes… it's indeed not suitable.
"Then you go to the Jade Pool and wait for me. I have some matters to attend to and will come later."
Zhang Lin asked curiously, "Do you have a good relationship with the Jade Pool?"
If not, how could Luo Mo tell him to wait for him at the Jade Pool?
"It's alright. You go first."
Luo Mo handed the Beginningless Emperor Jade to Zhang Lin, using the Dao platform beside the Beginningless Scripture to teleport him and Yang Yi out.
I wonder what the Jade Pool's mood will be when they suddenly see their saintess from ten thousand years ago, and Zhang Lin, this fifth-generation Source Celestial Master, what kind of waves will his appearance cause when he appears in public.
"How interesting."
Then next is the recruitment phase. First, let the Beginningless Bell release the Eight Legions it's suppressing, otherwise, how will Xiao Yan's incarnation recruit people?
This time, Xiao Yan's incarnation is going to the demon race and teaching the secret techniques from the Undying Heavenly Emperor's Divine Scripture, which will definitely attract the attention of the ancient races.
After all, outsiders can't tell if you're cultivating a certain ancient scripture, but the characteristics of the secret techniques are very obvious. Once used, they will definitely be recognized by knowledgeable passersby, and all sorts of rumors will fly.
What will happen when the Eight Legions emerge at this time?
Naturally, they will investigate. The Undying Heavenly Emperor is their god, how can they watch the scriptures of their god leak out and be blasphemed by a bunch of later demon races?
But when they go to investigate at this time, they will encounter Xiao Yan's incarnation, who possesses the Immortal Phoenix bloodline.
Luo Mo has read the Heavenly Emperor's son's memories, so he naturally knows some of the bloodline oath controls. As soon as the Eight Legions appear in front of Xiao Yan's incarnation, they will feel the boiling of the bloodline oath.
What will they do then?
Of course, pledge allegiance!
But Xiao Yan's incarnation will defeat them one by one, suppressing and converting them all.
Their expressions at that time must be wonderful, right?
"This is so interesting, I can't wait to see it all happen."
Luo Mo's voice echoed in the empty ancient cave. Some ancient creatures who were half-awakened due to the intrusion of outsiders were deciding whether to break out of their source.
Then, sensing the extremely powerful aura from Luo Mo, ordinary ancient creatures probably couldn't resist. At least an ancestral king would have to emerge. Therefore, they were very cautious, and the ancestral kings wouldn't move easily.
This is also why Luo Mo didn't receive a warm welcome this time. Because ancestral kings have high status and won't easily break out of their seal, especially with the Beginningless Bell suppressing them.
If his cultivation were lower, he would have sent cannon fodder to deal with him long ago.
Luo Mo sat down on the Dao platform in front of the Beginningless Scripture, seemingly cultivating. The mysteries of his human body were silent, and the doors of the divine treasures within his body were extinguished one by one, then lit up one by one like sparks.
Divine energy flowed anew, igniting different doors of the divine treasures, unlike the doors that originally cultivated both Taiyin and the Sun.
The path of divine power operation has changed. He is changing his method, and only someone like him who has insight into the origin and cultivated the Chaos Body can switch cultivation scriptures without any scruples.
Yin and Yang are silent, chaos is born, a mysterious divine power emerges, blurring Luo Mo's figure. Flying fragments appear around him, reflecting traces of the past, disappearing in an instant, returning to nothing.
Yin-Yang Emperor Scripture, switch, Beginningless Scripture.
Having changed the cultivation scripture, Luo Mo raised his hand and cast the secret art of controlling soldiers from the Beginningless Scripture, transforming into the shape of a divine bell in the void, shaking out rumbling sound waves, and the entire Purple Mountain was shaking in such sound waves.
Dang!
A powerful sound wave responded. In an instant, heaven and earth changed, and Luo Mo was forcibly teleported, appearing in a starry sky. This was a starry sky refined by great divine power, using the starry sky as a secret land. This was a method only ancient emperors had.
A blurry figure went from excitement to calmness, and finally, his mood became terrible, and he didn't hide it at all.
"It's you?"
This blurry figure demonstrated what it meant to have a voice like a bell, because there was really a bell vibrating when he spoke.
This is the spirit of the Beginningless Bell, that is, the artifact spirit.
Luo Mo cast the art of controlling soldiers recorded in the Beginningless Scripture, and the sound shook Purple Mountain, naturally causing the Beginningless Bell to resonate. You must know that Beginningless Emperor passed down the scriptures here, and no one has ever opened the Beginningless Scripture inheritance in so many years.
And today, this secret art that only the Beginningless Emperor of this era would be used, and the Beginningless Bell excitedly thought he was back!
As a result, he took a look and found that it was the same person who came last time?
"It's me."
"Where did you learn…" The blurry figure in front of him didn't finish his words, thinking it was boring.
It's just a secret art of the emperor's control of soldiers, which may have been left in some place and learned by the cultivator in front of him. He doesn't care where Luo Mo learned it from. It seems that he just accidentally obtained the opportunity left by the emperor, that's all.
But then he felt something was wrong, because the aura on Luo Mo's body, the scriptures chanted in the mystery, although it can't be said to be exactly the same as the "Beginningless Scripture", it can also be said to be completely the same.
"?"
A certain secret art of the emperor can still be said to be an opportunity left by the emperor that was accidentally obtained, but the entire "Beginningless Scripture" has never been passed on!
Moreover, this person in front of him is not a natural holy body Dao fetus!
The Beginningless Bell took a closer look, his eyes pierced through the void, and he saw a chaotic aura in Luo Mo's body, with countless primitive runes flashing, and a black jar floating in the origin of chaos.
Tseng
Seemingly sensing the Beginningless Bell's gaze, the lid of the black jar gently closed, making a crisp sound, and actually blocked the Beginningless Bell's gaze.
"Chaos Body?!"
The Beginningless Bell couldn't help but be surprised.
As an emperor's weapon, what haven't I seen?
I've really never seen this one before.
