I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

"No destruction, no construction. Destruction precedes construction. The Great Emperor suffered a crushing defeat on the Emperor Road, almost losing everything. However, he treated the tribulation as a trial, and ultimately ascended to the pinnacle of the Great Dao. You've only suffered one defeat, how can you be so fallen?"

The Immortal Crane was lecturing Wang Teng, but Wang Teng's eyes remained dull. Even with his bones crushed, he showed little reaction. The previous defeat had left him in a daze, unable to recover.

Now, he was thrown by the Immortal Crane into a pool filled with a unique spring water. His body was also covered in essence blood and medicinal mud, to reshape his divine bones, making them stronger than before, with natural Dao patterns permeating them, strengthening Wang Teng's foundation.

But Wang Teng seemed oblivious to everything, simply allowing the Immortal Crane to do as it pleased.

The newly forged divine bones were comparable to divine iron, but they couldn't support a broken spirit.

"I'm fallen? The Great Emperor didn't lose his Emperor Weapon, did he?" Wang Teng sneered.

Even his own weapon of Dao proof, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, had been taken away. What was there to talk about competing on the Emperor Road? It was just a joke.

The Immortal Crane didn't give up on him, and continued to persuade, "The Great Emperor's weapon was also shattered in the past. But I don't want to talk to you about the weapon issue. Having a divine weapon can certainly enhance combat power and protect the Dao, but does not having a divine weapon mean you can't prove the Dao? Emperor Hengyu reforged the Hengyu Furnace after proving the Dao, and Emperor Ruthless refined the Devouring Heaven Magic Jar with her own body. They never relied on the advantage of weapons."

Wang Teng's eyes gradually regained some light.

He wasn't fallen, but he couldn't accept that Luo Mo could surpass him. That someone of the same generation could inflict such a crushing defeat upon him.

And then, look at what Luo Mo did afterward?

Becoming a Source Master, beheading the Primordial Clans, exterminating Ancestral Kings, creating the Source Heaven Sect… Every time Wang Teng heard news of Luo Mo, he felt like a knife had been stabbed into his heart, and yet the news kept coming.

He shifted his body, curled up into a ball, and submerged into the pool water, leaving only a string of gurgling bubbles for the Immortal Crane.

The Immortal Crane's voice transmitted through the water, "On the Great Emperor's path to proving the Dao, he was deeply influenced by Emperor Ruthless and Emperor Void. Emperor Ruthless's method was to devour all kinds of physiques, evolving into an acquired Chaos Body. The Great Emperor benefited from this method. After the crushing defeat, he severed the Demon Fetus, formed the Divine Fetus, and was reborn, allowing him to sweep away all enemies and defeat all opponents."

"You, decide for yourself."

The Immortal Crane was somewhat helpless. It had watched Wang Teng grow up, and the last defeat had a huge impact on him. He might very well become discouraged from this point on.

But misfortune and fortune are intertwined. Having reached this point, if Wang Teng could perk up, he might be able to cultivate the forbidden secret technique in the Chaotic Ancient Scripture, and sever the Divine Fetus.

Water mist filled the air.

For a long time, the Immortal Crane couldn't feel any fluctuations. Wang Teng seemed to have fallen into complete silence, but the surrounding silt and dust slowly enveloped him, and the concentration of heaven and earth essence around him was rapidly decreasing, all being absorbed into the pool water.

"I am unwilling!"

Three words came from underwater, and then, there was no more sound.

The Immortal Crane's eyes revealed a look of relief. It sealed off the area, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, returning to the Wang family to inform them.

… …

Qi Qi, nicknamed Qi the Calamity, was extremely beautiful.

Today's news came in waves, even reaching the Southern Ridge.

"Brother, that Jiang Li, the Holy Master of Yaoguang, has come from behind and already surpassed you."

The Southern Demon Qi Lin was very indifferent, not showing much emotion towards his sister's deliberate words.

"His talent is not bad, and he is extremely… confident," he carefully considered his words.

Yes, confident.

He had met Jiang Li a few times and could feel that the other party's confidence emanated from his bones. Although he didn't look down on anyone, there was always a feeling of being high above, controlling everything, and regarding others as chess pieces to be played with.

His physique was special, and his divine sense was much sharper than ordinary people, often allowing him to perceive different things. It could be considered a unique way of seeing people.

"Brother, when will you sever your Dao?" Qi Qi asked again.

"There's no rush, the road must be taken step by step."

Although he said that, Qi Lin also felt a sense of urgency, all thanks to geniuses like Xiao Yan, Luo Mo, and Jiang Li.

You should know that he, Qi Lin, used to have the title of Southern Demon, and was as famous as the Central Emperor and Northern Emperor, a top-notch talent in the Five Domains of Beidou.

But now, so many monstrous talents had suddenly appeared in the Eastern Wilderness, and he always felt like he was falling behind.

"Then when will we go to the Great Luo Realm to play again?"

Qi Qi's thoughts were very jumpy, suddenly shifting the topic to an irrelevant place.

"… …"

Even someone as steady as Qi Lin fell silent.

The Great Luo Realm, ah, that was a bad memory.

The Great Luo Realm had just opened not long ago, and he and his sister had gone to visit. Their money bags suffered heavy losses, and later Qi Qi frequented the Great Luo Realm for a long time.

If there were new pills, she would buy them.

If there were new magic weapons, she would buy them.

If there were new secret techniques, as long as she could afford them, she would buy a copy to study.

And she often squatted in the Great Luo Realm to search for treasures, buying some rare goods. Although they were rare, they were generally useless, and buying them back only served to fill up the warehouse, with no idea what they were for.

The Heavenly Demon Palace originally wouldn't mistreat its successors, but Qi Qi's way of spending money like water was unbearable, and even her brother was emptied. After all, as a brother, he couldn't refuse his sister when she asked for money, especially since he didn't have any place to spend money. At his realm, what he needed was enlightenment.

Although he hadn't cultivated for long, after suddenly hearing the news of Jiang Li severing his Dao and becoming a King, he also intended to pay a visit.

Jiang Li's experience in severing the Dao would be of great help to a peak cultivator like him. Moreover, his relationship with Yaoguang was not bad. Although it wasn't very good, there were many interactions between the two factions. Yaoguang purchased various supplies in the Southern Ridge, and the Demon Emperor Palace naturally participated in it, preventing the barbarians from earning all the profits. The Demon Emperor Palace also earned a lot in trade with Yaoguang.

It was precisely because of this that he was relatively wealthy recently.

Since his sister wanted to go, then he would go and take a look. He wondered what new things the Great Luo Realm had come up with, and hoped that his small treasury could handle it.

"Brother, you're the best!" Qi Qi was very happy. After all, her savings had long been depleted. The reason she returned from the Qishi Academy in Zhongzhou some time ago was because she had no money and wanted to rob some from her brother.

After all, the Great Luo Realm was willing to deliver goods to high-quality customers like her. Whenever there were new products, they would send her jade stone rubbings of images as soon as possible.

The Qishi Academy had a branch of the Great Luo Realm, because the Qishi Academy only recruited talents from all over the world, and the people who could enter the school were very rich.

The Southern Demon Qi Lin visited Yaoguang and had a long conversation with the Holy Master of Yaoguang, Jiang Li, for several days, discussing the Dao.

Seven days later, he actually ascended into the sky in broad daylight and began to undergo his own Great Tribulation of Severing the Dao.

During the tribulation, seven demon stars suddenly appeared in the sky, like a crown, highlighting Qi Lin's extraordinary nature.

Everyone naturally knew the name of the Southern Demon Qi Lin, but no one expected that he would go to Yaoguang and successfully pass the Great Tribulation of Severing the Dao after sitting and discussing the Dao with Jiang Li for a few days, becoming a King.

Following closely behind was the Central Emperor, Xiang Yufei.

He had the heart to pursue the Dao, but he was not limited to seeking it bitterly on his own. If he could obtain experience, that would naturally be for the best.

Especially Jiang Li, being a leading figure of this era and not just some ordinary, mediocre person. If it were a common Dao-severing King, Zhong Huang Xiang Yufei would be confident in facing them without fear, but Jiang Li was different.

Therefore, he believed that the Dao-severing experience of a genius like Jiang Li would be useful to someone like him.

So, after Nan Yao Qi Lin successfully severed his Dao, Xiang Yufei immediately paid him a visit.

Three days later, the Dao-severing tribulation reappeared, and Xiang Yufei underwent the lightning baptism, severing his own Great Dao.

If it were just one or two cases, one could say that Nan Yao Qi Lin and Zhong Huang Xiang Yufei were naturally talented. They gained some experience from Jiang Li, grasped the key, and successfully severed their Dao; that's all.

But immediately afterward, someone ascended into the starry sky in broad daylight above Yao Guang, undergoing the Dao-severing tribulation. Moreover, this time it wasn't one person, but two.

The former Holy Master, Li Daoqing, and the Supreme Elder of Yao Guang, Ji Tongchen, actually severed their Dao simultaneously and succeeded together, shocking the world.

This matter was quite absurd. Everyone who had seen Jiang Li or was related to him had successfully severed their Dao. Would you say this was a human factor or metaphysics?

For those older generation powerhouses, they had to seize every opportunity. Only by successfully severing their Dao could they gain more lifespan.

So, Jiang Li went into seclusion.

He had no choice but to hide. There were too many people coming to visit, and he had many things to do. It was impossible for him to spend his time on this.

Nan Yao Qi Lin and Zhong Huang Xiang Yufei were already talented. After seeking advice from him, he pointed out the key to severing the Dao, and they understood it themselves.

Li Daoqing and Ji Tongchen, on the other hand, had accumulated for too long. One was a former Holy Master, and the other was a Supreme Elder, both having lived for over two thousand years, staying at the ninth level of Great Power for a long time, unable to sever their Dao.

However, after obtaining the Taiyin and Sun Emperor Scriptures, numerous Nine Secrets, and the blessings of the Human Immortal Secret Technique and Blood Soul Secret Technique, their accumulation of over two thousand years finally pushed them to successfully sever their Dao.

Especially after卸下the burdens of the sect, feeling light and carefree, and handing over the position of Holy Master to Jiang Li, they were extremely relieved. Therefore, they felt comfortable and their thoughts were clear. Coupled with sufficient accumulation, they successfully severed their Dao in one fell swoop.

As for the other Supreme Elders, it would probably take some more time. After all, Li Daoqing's position as Holy Master was fought for, not given to him by others. His strength was arguably the strongest among the older generation of Yao Guang, and the other Supreme Elders were slightly weaker. If they wanted to sever their Dao, they would have to spend more time.

Regarding the matter of their Holy Master's long absences, Yao Guang expressed that they were already used to it. Their Holy Master often disappeared when he was still a Holy Son. In their words, he had many adventures, and his cultivation increased very quickly while training outside, which was incomparable to closed-door cultivation.

In reality, Luo Mo had naturally returned to the Origin Heaven Sect.

After all, he only had two identities. Now that both identities had announced their closed-door cultivation, he naturally used his main account to operate.

During this time in Yao Guang, he had clearly explained all matters, planned all trade between Yao Guang and the Origin Heaven Sect, and also arranged things in Nanling, Zhongzhou, Beiyuan, and other places. There should be no problems in the short term.

After returning to the Origin Heaven Sect, Luo Mo only instructed that the Origin Earth Masters in the sect should work harder and that they should work together to mine the divine soil they discovered, which could be considered an opportunity for them to practice Origin Arts.

He had issued a reward, which had not been withdrawn until now, so many cultivators were still venturing deep into the mountains, deserts, and deep seas to find divine soil.

These were all resources needed in the future, so he instructed the Origin Earth Masters of the Origin Heaven Sect to mine them when he was away.

This matter was also a time-consuming and laborious task for them, but it was very good for training their abilities.

After giving his instructions, he was about to leave. Once he left, the Origin Heaven Sect would appear empty because the Origin Heaven Sect had taken on many businesses during this time.

Even though some older generation Origin Art Masters had recently been promoted to Origin Earth Masters, increasing the number of Origin Earth Masters to sixteen, it was still not enough, especially since he had also transferred a few people to mine divine soil.

But it didn't matter.

Even if all the Origin Earth Masters plus him, the Origin Heaven Master, were gone, the Origin Heaven Sect still had Old Master Dongfang Taiyi guarding it. A Great Saint was more useful than ten thousand Origin Earth Masters.

Leaving the Origin Heaven Sect, Luo Mo came to the vicinity of the Demon God Palace, used a secret technique, resonated with his inner demons, and summoned Xiao Yan's incarnation.

Soon, Xiao Yan's incarnation quietly came out. After all, he was still in closed-door cultivation, and he only came out to see the main body at this time.

The two didn't say anything, just exchanged some things, and then separated. Xiao Yan's incarnation continued to return to the Demon God Palace to be his Demon God, while Luo Mo used the marks he had left in advance to travel through the void.

He came to the Transformation Immortal Pond.

The Transformation Immortal Pond was only opened once every ten thousand years and was usually closed. If he hadn't left some means in advance, it would be difficult to enter. If he wanted to force his way in from the outside, he would probably have to use an Emperor Weapon to blast it open.

He sneaked all the way to the bottom of the Transformation Immortal Pond, without stopping, and entered the abandoned Immortal Ascension Road.

"Get ready to start!"

The Pure Yang Mirror flew out, transforming into a huge Heavenly Gate standing on the abandoned Immortal Ascension Road, in front of the small pond where the Azure Emperor was born.

One venerable Ancestral King after another flew out, each with a face full of Buddha-light.

At the same time, Luo Mo took out the magic weapon that Xiao Yan's incarnation had given him and released another dozens of Ancestral Kings from it. These were all Ancestral Kings who had attacked the Demon God Palace that day, defeated by Xiao Yan's manipulation of the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, the Taiyin Falling Moon Bow, and the Human Emperor Seal fragment, and all sealed up.

Xiao Yan's incarnation was also using a corner fragment of the Human Emperor Seal to impersonate an Emperor Weapon, pretending to have an Extreme Dao weapon in his hand. This was a very dangerous thing, especially since Xiao Yan didn't know the Great Karma Art, and Luo Mo couldn't temporarily integrate the Great Karma Art into the Heaven-Shielding Law. This Three Thousand Great Dao was too lofty and too difficult, not something he could translate at his current level.

However, for now, everything in Beidou was still within the plan, so there shouldn't be any major problems. With the Quasi-Emperor Weapon Taiyin Falling Moon Bow and the Human Emperor Seal fragment to fool people, Xiao Yan's incarnation should be safe.

As long as he didn't enter the starry sky, there shouldn't be any need to worry.

Going to the starry sky was another matter. There was a Divine Organization that was very much at odds with the Undying Heavenly Emperor lineage. Moreover, the Divine Organization was powerful. A Quasi-Emperor Weapon and a fragment of an Emperor Weapon were not enough.

Under Luo Mo's instructions, the Pure Yang Mirror's artifact spirit sat in front of the Azure Emperor's birth pond.

Luo Mo activated the True Spirit Seal, and his divine sense surged out, covering the sky and earth, observing the formation of the Gouchen Ancient Emperor, and then gathering the immortal energy gathered by the Gouchen Ancient Emperor's formation patterns, all connecting it to the Pure Yang Mirror.

Pure Yang Pill printing machine, start!

Boom!

The entire Immortal Ascension Road erupted with immortal light. The formation patterns of the Gouchen Ancient Emperor that received immortal energy were fully activated by Luo Mo. The immortal energy surged and was continuously received and invested into the Pure Yang Mirror.

With the Immortal Realm as a backing, there was capital to manufacture Pure Yang Pills. Otherwise, where would enough Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi come from?

Then, it was time to convert these prisoners.
