Chapter 1075 Proving Immortality
Inside the Immortal Temple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Realm, the Xuanzhen Golden Immortal abruptly rose from his cloud bed. The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram in his eyes spun rapidly, the black and white energies surging like a tide, almost solidifying. He gazed in the direction from which the strange phenomenon originated, his fingertips forming hand seals so fast they left afterimages. Profound runes flickered and vanished at his fingertips, attempting to glean more information from that chaos. However, that void seemed shrouded in an invisible barrier, and he could never reach its core.
At the same time, inside the Burning Heaven Palace of the Burning Heaven Immortal Clan, the Burning Heaven Golden Immortal's body suddenly erupted in flames, the raging flames cascading down like a waterfall, turning the glazed tiles on the palace roof a fiery red. He stepped out of the palace, hovering high in the heavens, his gaze like two world-burning flames, piercing through layers of immortal clouds and boundary barriers, locking onto the void filled with purple-gold divine light. The flames around him pulsed violently due to the fluctuations in his emotions, crackling and popping.
The other seven immortal golden immortals of the Immortal Realms were the same—the Purple Origin Golden Immortal stood at the center of the Star Orbit Array, most of the star runes on his robe lit up, as if he were draped in the entire starry sky. With a flick of his fingertips, countless stars formed a directional map in front of him; the Azure Cloud Golden Immortal stood side by side with the Emerald Azure Dragon, its azure divine light sweeping across millions of eons. Wherever it passed, withered trees revived and spiritual herbs grew wildly. The patterns on the Azure Dragon's scales resonated with the rules of the void, emitting a deep dragon roar; the Nine Heavens Golden Immortal shattered the illusory image of the Milky Way, his feet resting on a star map composed of billions of stars. The starlight in his eyes was brighter than ever before, as if he could see through the mists of time and space... The gazes of the nine immortals, like nine pillars of light piercing the universe, converged at the same moment on that place where the strange phenomenon was boiling.
The immortal consciousnesses, like invisible swords, constantly collided and intertwined in the void, conveying their surprise and solemnity to each other.
The direction from which the strange phenomenon came was exactly the direction from which the mysterious immortal disappeared, and it just so happened that it was not too far from their nine immortal realms. Moreover, the young Lie Xuan was taken away by that mysterious immortal and was just in the process of breaking through to the immortal realm. All these coincidences made them think of Ancestor Lie Xuan immediately.
They don't believe there are so many coincidences in the world.
The one who has attained immortality is most likely that brat Lie Xuan.
Immediately, the hearts of the nine immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, sank. Two immortal golden immortals were not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Although that brat Lie Xuan has only just attained immortality, based on the combat power he displayed before attaining immortality, his combat power after attaining immortality is definitely not weak, and may even be able to rival those of us who have attained immortality for tens or hundreds of thousands of cosmic eras.
"Everyone must be on high alert recently and reinforce the defenses of the Immortal Realm. Unless absolutely necessary, do not leave your respective Immortal Realm, lest those two scoundrels find an opportunity to take advantage of you!"
After a moment of silence, the divine consciousness of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal resounded once more, carrying an undeniable majesty.
The other eight immortal golden immortals nodded in agreement, their expressions more solemn than ever as they watched the ever-rising immortal phenomena.
They thought that after severely damaging that mysterious immortal, they could rest easy for the time being. Little did they expect that after only three hundred billion years of peace, such a big problem would arise.
......
Beyond the realm of void, at the center of strange phenomena.
Su Mo's expression changed slightly. The intoxication he had felt from being immersed in the power of immortality receded like a tide, and he abruptly awoke. His gaze swept over the immortal phenomenon that had swept across countless eons—the purple-gold divine lightning that filled the sky had not yet dissipated, the primordial golden lotus was still slowly falling, and the lingering waves of the river of time and space had not yet faded. He gradually frowned. He had thought that it was merely a breakthrough of his physical body into immortality, and would not resonate with the will of the ancient immortal realm. He had not expected that it would still trigger this immortal phenomenon in the end.
"Now, it's not appropriate to go to other places to prove immortality. I can only break through to immortality here."
The spiritual energy in this void is still a bit shallow. Over the past three hundred billion years, during his seclusion, he has sent out many illusory spirit bodies to search the surrounding void for a more suitable place for him to break through.
Breaking through cultivation is not like achieving physical immortality, where one has a cheat code and doesn't need to absorb other source power to break through smoothly. With the resources he has left, let alone breaking through to the first-grade perfect Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop, even proving immortality is far from enough. He must devour the immortal spiritual energy from the outside world.
Given the sparse immortal spiritual energy in this void, once one attains the Dao, one would have to absorb all the immortal spiritual energy in the surrounding void for billions of years, which would be quite a commotion.
And the group of illusory spirits did not disappoint, finding several secluded cultivation sites filled with immortal spiritual energy.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. Su Mo looked at the churning phenomena around him, his brows furrowing even more. With this immortal phenomenon appearing, it was impossible for him to change locations now. Otherwise, the commotion would only be greater, and he might easily attract the attention of some old monsters.
Immortal Golden Immortals are not comparable to True Immortals. They are undisputed powerhouses in the entire Ancient Immortal Realm. It is not impossible for two Immortal Golden Immortals to be born on the same day, especially in such a remote place.
"Well, with this immortal phenomenon as a cover, it should reduce the noise during the breakthrough." Su Mo glanced at the still-unsettled phenomenon around him again, took a deep breath, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, most of the 730 illusory spirit bodies that formed the two Zhou Tian Star Arrays around him quickly disappeared, leaving only 12 remaining in the void.
With synchronized cultivation and the same immortal physical body, the illusory spiritual body is already sufficient to seal off the soaring aura and pressure he will experience during his next breakthrough.
The next second...
Su Mo silently recited in his heart: "Infuse the Primordial Void Supreme Immortal Scripture!"
[You began cultivating the Primordial Void Ultimate Immortal Scripture. After 100000 cosmic eras, you successfully broke through the shackles and reached the realm of a First-Rank Perfect Golden Immortal.]
"Boom..."
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the hazy divine light that had just subsided trembled violently once more, even more violently than when his physical body broke through. Countless mysteries of immortal rules, like a flood bursting its banks, carrying the vast and ancient Daoist charm, surged wildly into Su Mo's sea of consciousness. His soul, like parched land receiving rain, instantly entered a profound state of enlightenment. The Primordial Immortal Dao he had just comprehended seemed to transform into a shriveled sponge, frantically absorbing these rule nutrients, growing and perfecting at a visible speed. The originally somewhat clumsy Immortal Dao operated with increasing smoothness and freedom.
Within the natal sea of cosmic energy, a quietly suspended twelfth-grade Primordial Lotus was undergoing a subtle transformation. The outermost petal of the previously shyly budding flower suddenly burst open, unleashing a dazzling Primordial Immortal Light that illuminated the entire sea of cosmic energy as if it were daytime. The immortal runes inscribed on the petals shifted and changed, seemingly recounting the mysteries of the universe's birth and death.
At the same time, the billions of universes within the natal cosmic sea began to violently turbulent. They were no longer separate entities, but rapidly merged and compressed like rivers flowing into the sea. Each collision was accompanied by the shattering and rebirth of laws. Under extreme pressure, the rules were constantly sublimating. The universes that originally belonged to the True Immortal level were transforming into the Immortal Realm at an astonishing speed—stars extinguished and were reborn, and the chains of rules intertwined, evolving into a more stable and vast order.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the immortal spiritual energy that had calmed down due to the immortal phenomenon within a range of billions of cosmic years suddenly surged wildly again. The originally gentle surrounding airflow transformed into a raging torrent, carrying the power to tear through the void, and rushed towards the center where Su Mo was located like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
They passed through layers of immortal phenomena, forming a massive vortex around Su Mo with a diameter of countless light-years. At the center of the vortex, Su Mo's figure was enveloped by endless immortal spiritual energy, as if he had transformed into a chaotic singularity, devouring all the energy around him.
Upon seeing this, the twelve illusory spirits around them moved like ghosts, instantly taking their positions according to the twelve earthly branches, forming the Twelve Yuan Chen Void-Suppressing Array.
Immediately afterwards, twelve beams of condensed, almost tangible, immortal light shot into the sky, weaving together to form a profound magic net covering billions of light-years. On the net, the twelve earthly branch runes flowed, radiating an awe-inspiring power that suppressed the void, firmly enveloping the entire energy vortex.
The leading rat phantom was surrounded by chaotic mist. With a swipe of its claws, it crushed a large amount of dissipated immortal energy into dust, turning it into the purest energy to nourish the formation. The ox phantom transformed into a bronze behemoth, its four hooves pounding the ground with a deep rumble. Each breath was like a bottomless black hole, sucking up the surrounding turbulent immortal energy and transforming it into the reinforcing power of the barrier, making the magic net even more solid.
The phantom of the Tiger roared, its sound waves transforming into a golden cage that firmly locked away Su Mo's surging aura. The phantom of the Rabbit moved erratically, leaving countless afterimages within the barrier, weaving a second layer of protection with its speed, preventing any escape of energy. The phantom of the Dragon coiled upwards, its scales opening and closing to spew forth streams of dragon energy that merged with the runes of the barrier, greatly increasing its resilience. The phantom of the Snake, like a streak of light, coiled around the outer edge of the barrier, its forked tongue devouring any fragments of rules that attempted to penetrate it.
The phantom of the Horse (午马) sprang to life, its hooves whistling through the air, its body ablaze with golden flames containing purifying power that calmed the turbulent immortal energy. The phantom of the Goat (未羊) carried a spirit herb in its mouth, and wherever it passed, the fine cracks in the barrier slowly healed in the green light. The phantom of the Monkey (申猴) scratched its ears and cheeks, playing with two Time-Space Divine Pearls in its hands, occasionally tossing them to the weak points of the barrier to reinforce the defense with the power of time and space. The phantom of the Rooster (酉鸡) stretched its neck and crowed, its cry transforming into countless golden runes that riveted themselves into the barrier, making it even more stable.
The phantom of the Dog (戌狗) stared intently at Su Mo within the barrier, its eyes flashing like lightning. Whenever energy exceeding the limits rushed in, it would open its mouth and spew out a stream of gray energy to annihilate it. The phantom of the Pig (亥猪) transformed into a mountain of flesh, firmly anchoring itself in the center of the barrier, using its own essence as the array's core, continuously supplying power.
The twelve illusory spirit bodies worked together seamlessly, as if they were one person. The twelve Yuan Chen barriers exuded an ancient and profound aura, suppressing Su Mo's terrifying pressure, which had surged again and was enough to make even a first-grade Golden Immortal tremble, within them, preventing it from leaking out in the slightest, leaving only immortal phenomena churning on the outside.
......
An hour later.
The already weakened immortal phenomenon suddenly erupted again like a dormant volcano, even more magnificent and vast than before, spreading wildly across the void in all directions. Even the chaotic air currents at the edge of the nine immortal realms were stirred by this power, creating ripples.
More purple-gold divine lightning surged forth from the depths of the void, like billions of divine dragons galloping and roaring. The dragons' bodies were wrapped with "immortal" Dao patterns, turning the surrounding billions of eons of void into a purple-gold sea of lightning. Within the sea of lightning, Dao runes could be faintly seen rising and falling, uttering the ancient proverb, "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao."
The Primordial Golden Lotus, which had previously shown signs of withering, is now blooming again at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its petals unfold layer by layer, increasing from twelve to twenty-four petals. Wisps of immortal mist rise from the golden lotus platform, and countless phantoms of true immortals can be vaguely seen worshipping within the mist. They sit or stand, their expressions as devout as if they were facing the creator god. The ethereal music echoes in the void, resonating with the roar of the Great Dao operating within Su Mo's body.
Further into the distance, the river of time and space was once again surging with enormous waves, and one after another, even more ancient and immortal golden immortal phantoms appeared.
......
"It actually triggered two strange phenomena. This kid Lie Xuan has a deep foundation."
