The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 93 About the Path to Immortality

Time passed quickly and more than half a month had passed. After the Holy Prince obtained the secret of the word "Jie", he only understood it slightly and left.

Liu Shan did not keep him for long, because he knew that the Holy Prince still had some concerns and did not completely trust him, so he let him leave.

The God King was in the Holy City, using the Ancient Insect King to refine the divine elixir, while Liu Shan continued to practice the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Skill in the cave.

The more he practiced, the more Liu Shan could feel the domineering power of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art. It was worthy of being the imperial scripture of the Fighting Saint Ape lineage, born for battle. The Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Art was extremely domineering.

This scripture gives people the feeling of "fighting", a scripture created specifically for fighting. It feels more tyrannical and overbearing than the Douzi Secret. The whole text does not tell how to better improve the realm and achieve a higher level of cultivation. Instead, it keeps telling how to cultivate so that the physique will be more suitable for fighting, and to what extent the secret technique can be used to better defeat the opponent, even if it is harmful to oneself, the opponent must be defeated.

The secret of the word "fighting" can evolve in thousands of ways. It mainly tells about how to better defeat the opponent, by simplifying the complex, using the sacred method of fighting, evolving all the secret techniques and magical instruments that can be seen, by simplifying the complex, using the sacred method of fighting, evolving the rules of heaven and earth, and enforcing the law on behalf of heaven.

The Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art is purely for fighting. It is not for immortality or becoming an immortal. It is about fighting against heaven and earth to defeat the opponent.

The Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art was also like a magic scripture. Liu Shan did not dare to practice it too much. He just tried it briefly. He did not want to follow the path of a fighting immortal.

...

"The God King succeeded?"

After Liu Shan finished his training, he saw the Divine King Jiang Taixu, who was already waiting on the side. Liu Shan understood that the Divine King must have already refined the divine pill.

“It took twenty ancient insect kings to refine a total of five magic pills. These are worthy of being the ancient insect kings that devoured the divine source. Each magic pill can increase one’s lifespan by five hundred years.” Jiang Taixu said in amazement.

"It's been five hundred years? If there is a Taoist injury, can this pill repair it?" Liu Shan asked suddenly with an idea.

"Dao injury? What does that mean? You..." Jiang Taixu hurriedly observed Liu Shan carefully and found that Liu Shan's blood and energy were full and he didn't seem to have any injuries.

"God King, don't worry. I'm just asking out of curiosity." Liu Shan comforted Jiang Taixu.

In fact, in his heart, he was worried about Ye Fan in the future. Because the Saint Body broke through the Four Extremes, it would be injured by the Innate Dao Diagram. Now Ye Fan did not have the help of the Divine King Jiang Taixu, who would use the blood of the gods to cleanse the injuries caused by the Innate Dao Diagram and connect the broken path for him to defy the heavens. What should Ye Fan do next?
Go to the ancient forbidden land to survive the disaster? It seems that this is the only way.

Liu Shan had a headache. He could only take one step at a time. If it didn't work, he would just ask Zhanxian to plunder several ancient creatures of saint level and let Ye Fan use the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to swallow them to replenish his essence and repair the essence of his holy body.

The God King still looked at Liu Shan with some doubts, "The Dao injury cannot be repaired, unless part of the body is cut off, but that will cause the loss of the origin, which is equivalent to cutting off one's own path."

"If you are injured, be sure to tell me as soon as possible." Jiang Taixu still reminded him worriedly.

"Don't worry, God King. I'm fine and have sufficient energy." After saying that, Liu Shan released his own aura. Energy surged in his body and the sound of a rushing river came from outside his body. That was his blood flowing.

Jiang Taixu looked at Liu Shan, who had sufficient essence, and finally felt relieved. As Liu Shan's protector, he could be said to share the same fate with Liu Shan. If Liu Shan was really injured, he would have to find a solution as soon as possible.

After making sure that Liu Shan was fine, Jiang Taixu handed Liu Shan two jade bottles.

"Here are the remaining ancient insect kings and the refined divine pills. I have left one for Fairy Caiyun. You can take the rest."

Liu Shan took the two jade bottles and opened one of them casually. Inside lay four jade pills that were as smooth as jade and emitted a little silver light.

Liu Shan poured out one, and immediately a strong and strange fragrance spread out. Looking closely, although the surface of the jade pill was smooth, there were natural Taoist patterns faintly visible on it.

Without further appreciation, Liu Shan took out two more jade bottles from his body, poured out two more jade pills, and put the three jade pills into the two jade bottles respectively. He then handed the jade bottle with one jade pill and the jade bottle containing the Ancient Insect King to Jiang Taixu again.

"God King, I'd better leave the ancient insect kings with you. I don't know how to make medicine. It would be a waste if they were kept with me. If God King has time, please make them into divine pills."

"There are four magic pills here. I will keep three, one for Hei Huang, one for Ye Fan, and one for myself. The remaining one is just for the God King." Liu Shan waved his hand and stopped Jiang Taixu who wanted to continue speaking.

Jiang Taixu understood what Liu Shan meant, so he stopped hesitating and put away the two jade bottles again.

Playing with the two jade bottles in his hands, Liu Shan fell into deep thought. Now that he had the magic pill, it was time to carve out the Princess of the Divine Silkworm.

After making the decision, Liu Shan said to Jiang Taixu: "God King, you should go back to the Holy City and wait for me. There is a member of the ancient royal family sealed in the blood sacrifice platform. She probably has the strength of a Saint King."

"What? An ancient royal family at the level of a Saint King." Jiang Taixu was shocked by Liu Shan's words. He didn't expect that this stone actually contained an ancient creature with such a high level of cultivation.

You must know that in this Dharma-Ending Age, the strongest saints in the major holy lands, that is, the great king realm of the third level of the immortals, and the fourth level of the immortal saint realm can only be achieved by the immortals who are sealed in the source of the holy land.

Of course, Jiang Taixu is an exception. Now, there is actually an ancient creature at the Saint King level in the blood sacrifice platform. Once this person is born, he can directly stand at the top of the entire Beidou. If he is interested, he can instantly stir up the situation in Beidou.

Jiang Taixu frowned and pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Does the blood altar have to be untied?"

"Yes. She is very important to me." Liu Shan nodded.

"If it is true as you said, there is a Saint King-level ancient royal family inside, then his birth can easily change the entire Beidou situation."

"The ancient creatures are not friendly to humans. Once they are hostile to humans, then the entire Eastern Wasteland, any sect that is not protected by the Supreme Emperor's soldiers, even if it is a holy place, may be purged by them."

"After all, they now occupy too many resources. When new forces emerge, they will definitely seize the territory and resources of the old forces. At that time, it may cause endless killings, and they may even treat humans as food." Jiang Taixu said worriedly.

"God King, rest assured. From what I understand, the one sealed in the blood sacrifice platform is not an ancient creature that harbors ill will towards the human race, and she will not feed on the human race."

"Moreover, God King, the emergence of ancient creatures is inevitable. In another two years, I'm afraid that the ancient race will emerge in large numbers."

"By then, there will be a large number of them who regard humans as their blood food. By then, the entire East Wilderness will definitely undergo major changes. The God King can notify the Jiang family to make more preparations."

"A large number of ancient creatures will be born? Is the information accurate? How did you know it?" Jiang Taixu did not expect that Liu Shan would actually say that a large number of ancient creatures would be born.

Liu Shan nodded. He decided to tell Jiang Taixu about the path to immortality and the Golden Age.

"Yes, the Holy Prince told me before that the ancient creatures left a lot of backup plans since the ancient times. They sealed themselves in the source just to prepare for their birth in this world. Because according to the calculations of the ancient emperors, it will not be long before the road to immortality will be opened. Many emperors' sons, daughters, and ancient royal families were sealed in the source just to be born in this world, to be able to prove their Dao and become emperors, or even ascend to the immortal realm."

"The road to becoming an immortal is open?"

"Yes, countless ancient emperors and great kings are waiting for the path to immortality to open in this life. This life will also be extremely dark and terrifying."

"Of course, the Golden Age will also be extremely glorious, because countless emperors' sons and daughters will be born to compete for the path to the throne. The competition in this age will be bloody and difficult beyond imagination."

Jiang Taixu frowned. He was frightened by the information implied in Liu Shan’s words. Is the dark turmoil coming again?

As a descendant of the Jiang family and the Great Emperor, he knew the horror of the dark turmoil. Once the path to becoming an immortal was truly opened, those dark supremes would definitely appear. Then they would definitely wash the entire world with blood. Ancient books recorded that in the past dark turmoil, only one or two dark supremes would appear.

If the road to immortality is really opened, how many hidden dark supreme beings will appear? Will there still be living beings in the whole world at that time? Will the whole universe be annihilated?

The more Jiang Taixu thought about it, the more he fell into despair. Despair about the future, despair about the coming darkness. Without the protection of the emperor in this life, all living beings in the entire universe could not see a single glimmer of hope.
