Discussing the Dao of the Great Emperor Wushi

After World War I, the strange world fell into a brief period of calm.

Wang Mingyuan reunited with the Great Emperor Wushi, and the two fled into a desolate star field, far away from the pursuit of the Heaven-Mending Immortal and the Undying Emperor.

This is a desolate place, devoid of stars and life, only endless void and chaos.

The surrounding area was filled with shattered spatial rifts, from which chaotic energy occasionally surged out, exuding a primal and violent aura.

But it's secluded enough here.

The Great Emperor Wushi concealed their auras with the Law of Time, while Wang Mingyuan sealed off this void with the Law of Chaos.

Even for beings at the level of a mortal immortal, finding this place would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Even if there are three beings of the same level, it would be difficult to completely pinpoint them in a short period of time through joint deduction.

Wang Mingyuan was very confident about this, after all, he had the memories and inheritance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

Wang Mingyuan sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by chaotic energy. The Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth hung above his head, with nine-colored divine light descending to protect his body.

Within his body, chaotic energy surged, and the essence and blood of the six supreme beings were being refined by him, transforming into pure life essence that merged into his limbs and bones.

Although he fought two opponents, the Heaven-Mending Immortal and the Undying Emperor, to a draw, and even coughed up blood multiple times to fake his injury, he still gained something from the battle.

The essence and blood of the six supreme beings who were killed by the aftershocks were all plundered by Wang Mingyuan and turned into his resources.

Although the essence and blood of the six supreme beings were not enough for him to complete a complete Nirvana, they did allow his cultivation to increase significantly.

"However, I could learn from and absorb the methods of the Undying Emperor."

However, we need to reverse the process and do it the other way around!

Wang Mingyuan's eyes were bright as he replayed the image of the Undying Emperor unleashing the Five-Colored Divine Light in his mind.

That pure-blooded phoenix, with the five-colored divine light at its core, unleashed a unique Nirvana technique.

That method is completely different from the Nirvana method in the True Phoenix Treasure Technique; it is a more special and gentler Nirvana method.

The Immortal Emperor's Nirvana Method strengthens himself by burning the essence and blood of others, thereby refreshing his own state, primarily in terms of lifespan.

Nirvana achieved through this method carries virtually no risk to the individual; all the risks are borne by others, resulting in minimal gain.

While its combat power hasn't increased much, its lifespan is indeed very long.

The fact that the Immortal Emperor lived for more than two million years is proof of this, but at the same time, even at that level, he did not become a mortal immortal, and he could not even defeat the Great Emperor Wushi.

This is also clear proof.

Wang Mingyuan wanted to learn from this method, but not copy it verbatim.

He wants to practice the true teachings in reverse, operating in the opposite direction.

What he needs for his Nirvana is the strongest combat power; he doesn't need any so-called lifespan.

With enough power, he could forcefully pierce through the path with his supreme might and become a War Immortal directly.

At that time, other problems will be easily solved.

He had already used the True Phoenix Technique and completed his third Nirvana.

Using the same methods again will be much less effective and will not achieve that kind of complete transformation.

Other methods of rebirth include using the immortal essence nurtured within one's body to undergo another rebirth when one is near death.

Alternatively, one could seal oneself as a holy spirit and wait hundreds of thousands of years to be reborn and live another life. These methods are possible, but they take too long.

Especially in strange worlds, where lifespan has increased significantly, it would be too slow to achieve nirvana in this way.

That's not what he wanted.

The Immortal Emperor's method gave him a new perspective.

Wang Mingyuan closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness, and began to deduce.

Chaotic energy surged, and various runes appeared around him, as he attempted to construct a completely new method of Nirvana.

Having fought against the Immortal Emperor, he probably had an understanding of the opponent's methods and variations, and was confident that he could deduce the Immortal Emperor's Nirvana technique.

Time passed by, second by second.

After a long while, Wang Mingyuan opened his eyes, a flash of understanding appearing in them.

"I see."

He muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The core of the Immortal Emperor's Nirvana Method lies in the burning treasures during the Phoenix Nirvana period."

Normally, it also ignites itself, and then combines with the most essential parts to be reborn from the ashes.

The Immortal Emperor retains most of his original state, using that new life state to only refresh his lifespan.

The cost of the burning was largely borne by the treasures; the old bodies remained, only undergoing minor regeneration…

"I can use the blood and essence of the many great emperors and ancient emperors to achieve this kind of nirvana."

However, I'm not enhancing lifespan, but combat power; I'm enhancing the numerical values..."

Wang Mingyuan's eyes shone brightly.

He couldn't wait to try it, but he knew now wasn't the time.

The Immortal Who Mending Heaven and the Undying Emperor are still searching for him, and the Emperor is still hiding in the shadows.

He needs to heal his injuries first, recover his condition first, and discuss countermeasures with the Great Emperor Wushi.

He raised his head and looked at the figure opposite him.

The Great Emperor Wushi.

This name represents invincibility and supreme power throughout the heavens and earth.

He possessed an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, was one of the most powerful emperors in history, and was an unparalleled being who suppressed an entire era.

In his later years, he entered a strange world and single-handedly fought against the Immortal Who Mended the Heavens, protecting the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At this moment, the Great Emperor Wushi sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by fluctuations of the laws of time.

His face was heroic and resolute, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an imposing presence.

His body was tall and upright, like an unshakeable mountain.

Although his aura was somewhat weakened due to his injury, his invincible spirit still inspired awe.

The Great Emperor Wushi was also looking at Wang Mingyuan.

His gaze was deep and complex, containing admiration, shock, and a hint of inexplicable emotion.

"In a head-on confrontation, you can even suppress two opponents."

The Great Emperor Wushi spoke, his voice deep and resonant, with a hint of hoarseness, "Your cultivation has not even lasted a thousand years."

Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Less than a thousand years."

Emperor Wushi fell silent.

He felt a mix of emotions.

He was probably not even a thousand years old when he achieved the status of a Heavenly Emperor.

Among all those who have achieved the status of emperors throughout history, this age is not very old;

Among those who have become Heavenly Emperors, they are the most outstanding.

Perhaps only the Azure Emperor can compare to him; even the Ruthless Great Emperor cannot.

After all, the Ruthless Emperor's foundation was really too poor.

In her first life, she couldn't even embark on the path of cultivation.

He began his cultivation through sheer comprehension and a fragmented incantation.

Even if he created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, it would still only be a flawed chaotic entity.

In her first life, the Ruthless Great Emperor should have had combat power at the level of a quasi-Heavenly Emperor, but she did not directly become a Heavenly Emperor.

Throughout the entire history of Shrouding the Heavens, only the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Azure Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, and the future Ye Fan could be so domineering and unique.

But no one, no matter how extraordinary, could possibly reach Wang Mingyuan's level within a thousand years.

They truly swept through the enemy lines unchallenged.

A thousand years of cultivation is enough to allow one to fight against a mortal immortal without being at a disadvantage; this is simply too heaven-defying.

Even those with innate holy bodies and Dao embryos, even those who defied the heavens like the Great Emperor Wushi, felt that Wang Mingyuan was somewhat defying the heavens.

“I have had many opportunities that you have never had, so I have accumulated some experience in this area.”

Wang Mingyuan smiled, not trying to hide it too much.

He looked at Emperor Wushi, having complete trust in this senior.

The character and deeds of the Great Emperor Wushi are clearly demonstrated in the present and future trilogy.

Therefore, he doesn't need to hide anything in this regard.

"I have unearthed a history from an even more ancient period of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, an ancient history that transcends the Chaotic Ancient Era, from which I have obtained some of the inheritance."

Emperor Wushi's gaze sharpened.

"Beyond the Chaotic Ancient Era?"

"good."

Wang Mingyuan nodded, "That was an era called Immortal Ancient, which was older and more glorious than Chaotic Ancient."

In that era, the immortal civilization reached its peak, with beings at the level of Immortal Kings overlooking the heavens.

"Celestial King?"

A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the Great Emperor Wushi.

He was a being of the Heavenly Emperor level, and having spent so many years in this strange world, he naturally knew what the title "Immortal King" meant.

Above the Immortals of the Mortal World is the True Immortal, and above the True Immortal is the Immortal King.

That's a level he can't reach yet.

"I received the inheritance of one of the Immortal Kings, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King."

Wang Mingyuan said, "In addition, there are the Ten Fiends' treasured techniques: Kunpeng Treasure Technique, True Phoenix Treasure Technique, Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, Grass Character Sword Technique, Willow God Technique..."

The Great Emperor Wushi remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

"I see."

He didn't ask any further questions, nor did he show any covetousness.

This is the spirit of the Great Emperor Wushi.

He never stooped to taking opportunities from others; he only believed in himself and in his own principles.

"Fellow Daoist's talent and fortune are unparalleled. Even with these factors, your talent still makes others feel inferior..."

The Great Emperor Wushi said, "Now that we have some free time, why don't I share my thoughts on the Dao, which can also serve as a testament to our achievements over the years."

Wang Mingyuan said solemnly, "I couldn't ask for more!"

The two sat facing each other, ignoring the commotion outside and even the fact that three immortals of the mortal realm were chasing them.

This was an unprecedented discussion.

One of them was a Heavenly Emperor who had achieved the innate sacred body and Dao embryo, and had lived for countless years, fighting in strange worlds for tens of thousands of years.

One of them is a Heavenly Emperor who achieved his power through the Chaos Body. He carries the legacy of a Celestial King and has been able to contend with the Immortals of the Mortal World after a thousand years of cultivation.

Their paths were completely different, yet equally powerful.

The Great Emperor Wushi spoke first, referring to the Wheel Sea Realm. His current combat power is comparable to that of a Red Dust Immortal, far exceeding the time he spent more than 80,000 years in the strange world after the gathering of heaven and earth. His scriptures have also changed dramatically.

"The sea of ​​wheels is the foundation of the human body and the starting point of spiritual practice."

The dantian is like the sea, and the meridians are like wheels; as these wheels rotate ceaselessly, the essence and energy will never cease…

His voice was deep and resonant, and every word seemed to contain profound truths.

As he spoke, a vast phantom of the Sea of ​​Wheels appeared around him; it was the external manifestation of the Sea of ​​Wheels within his body, a manifestation of the laws of the Great Dao.

Within the illusory image of the Sea of ​​Wheels, towering waves and swirling whirlpools seemed poised to devour the heavens and earth.

Every wave contains the dual power of life and death, and every whirlpool represents a complete law of the Dao.

Wang Mingyuan listened intently, deeply moved.

He possesses the inheritance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and his understanding of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation realm has long surpassed that of ordinary people.

But the explanation from the Great Emperor Wushi showed him another possibility.

The Sea of ​​Wheels of the Great Emperor Wushi is not simply a place for storing essence and energy, but the core of his Dao.

His time law sprouted, grew, blossomed, and bore fruit from here.

Wang Mingyuan didn't hold back and began to explain the Kunpeng Treasure Technique.

When the Desolate Heavenly Emperor created the Sea of ​​Wheels, it was based on this precious technique, which can be considered the source of all things and the root of everything.

"Kunpeng is one of the Ten Fiends of Antiquity, who controls Yin and Yang and is unparalleled in speed."

The core of its precious technique lies in the transformation of Yin and Yang…

As Wang Mingyuan narrated, a gigantic phantom of a Kunpeng appeared around him.

Sometimes the Kunpeng transforms into a giant Kun and sinks into the deep sea;

Sometimes it transforms into a roc, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles.

The yin and yang energies circulate around it, as if depicting the scene at the beginning of the world.

The Great Dao resounded around the Great Emperor Wushi, and the sound of the Great Dao wheel could be heard.

Within his body, the illusory image of the Sea of ​​Wheels surged violently, as if it resonated with the Kunpeng Treasure Technique in some way.

A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Wang Mingyuan was greatly shocked.

He only explained the basic principles of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, without delving into its core mysteries, yet the Great Emperor Wushi had already gained some insights.

Moreover, this kind of insight is not a superficial understanding, but a profound and fundamental understanding that touches the core of the Tao.

This level of understanding is simply terrifying.

Everyone knows that the Great Emperor Wushi has an extraordinary physique; his innate sacred body and Dao embryo can crush everything.

But at this moment, Wang Mingyuan realized that the Great Emperor Wushi's comprehension might have been greatly underestimated.

He didn't rely solely on his physical constitution to get where he is; he reached this point through his comprehension, talent, and an invincible Daoist heart.

His physique was only one part of the reason for his invincibility.

Wang Mingyuan continued his explanation, unfolding the profound mysteries of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique one by one.

As the Great Emperor Wushi's understanding deepened, the illusory image of the Sea of ​​Wheels around him began to change.

The waves transformed into yin and yang energies, and the whirlpools became the phantom of the Kunpeng. His sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have become a world where yin and yang were in harmony, nurturing some new kind of power.

"wonderful!"

Emperor Wushi exclaimed, "The Kunpeng Treasure Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a legacy of the Ten Fiends."

The principle of Yin and Yang transformation shares a similar essence with my Dao of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

He took the initiative to speak, explaining the changes and experiences he had undergone over the years, and also talked about the most core method of transformation, namely the method of becoming an immortal in the mortal world.

"In my later years, when I lived to the end of my second life, I tried to attain Nirvana."

At that time, I already had related ideas.

I have observed many wondrous things in the world, and I can silently promote changes in my very essence when my lifespan is nearing its end, thus living a second life.

What the Great Emperor Wushi described was the most advanced secret technique and inheritance at the level of a Heavenly Emperor, which does not exist in any records throughout history.

Even though Wang Mingyuan already understood this concept of nirvana and breakthrough, he still listened attentively.

From the very beginning, Emperor Wushi understood that this was probably similar to the path Ye Fan was going to take in his third life: silently accumulating immortal essence within his body, then letting his old body age and using the immortal essence to nurture a new body.

This can be considered the most orthodox path to becoming an immortal in the mortal world.

"I had accumulated enough immortal essence within my body, and was about to complete my Nirvana, when I was ambushed..."

The Great Emperor Wushi spoke these words calmly, yet the surrounding time seemed to ripple.

Even now, this supreme figure of the Heavenly Emperor level must still harbor some resentment about this matter.

Without a doubt, this was done by the most cunning and treacherous person in history, the Immortal Emperor.

"I have been locked in a standoff with the Immortal Emperor for over two thousand years. My life force is about to be exhausted, so I had no choice but to take the initiative to launch an attack, breaking through the strange world and being forced to come to this world."

"The longevity substances in this world are extremely concentrated. I have recovered and am no longer at risk of dying in meditation. However, the process of Nirvana has been interrupted."

"At our level, we understand that although Nirvana is dangerous, it is also an attempt, a leap, and a practice of one's own path."

Only by moving forward step by step along the path of progress can one truly become an immortal in the mortal world.

After all, the path to becoming an emperor has reached its peak; any further changes require breaking through the existing path.

"The original method of Nirvana was interrupted, and because of the abundant longevity substances in this world, I was unable to continue down that path, so I tried another method."

He severed his own origin, and then regenerated in the deepest silence and emptiness, living out his second life.

Wang Mingyuan was deeply shocked.

He knew all the Nirvana methods, knew the Ruthless Great Emperor, knew Ye Fan, knew the Nirvana process of the Underworld Lord, the Undying Emperor, and others, and understood some of their Nirvana techniques.

Therefore, he progressed quickly and steadily on this path.

But Ye Fan, Emperor Wushi, and others were unaware of this, as was Emperor Ruthless.

Therefore, every attempt and every exploration they made was dangerous, and they could all perish.

Even a powerful figure like the Ruthless Great Emperor, who possessed unparalleled talent and charisma in the ancient history of "Covering the Sky," encountered risks during his Nirvana process, living in a daze and suffering misfortune in his later years, nearly dying.

Even someone as powerful as Ye Fan encountered risks several times during his long eight Nirvana processes, each requiring tens of thousands of years of accumulation.

When the Great Emperor Wushi's first Nirvana was interrupted, he actually tried to choose his own path and took the second method.

His talent and aptitude are unparalleled.

The Great Emperor Wushi recounted his many experiences bit by bit, without concealing anything.

He recounted his every encounter with the Immortal Who Mending the Heavens, his understanding of the laws of time, and his exploration of the path to Nirvana.

Wang Mingyuan listened with rapt attention. Discussing the Dao with such a gifted individual would allow him to make significant progress.

The discussion became increasingly in-depth.

The two began to exchange their understanding of the essence of the Great Dao.

The Great Emperor Wushi spoke of time.

Time is invisible and intangible, yet it is everywhere. It is the most powerful force, and also the gentlest killing intent.

Time is like a knife, each cut aging us.

But if one can control time, one can transcend the years and achieve eternity.

This is also the most crucial step to becoming a mortal immortal. Without being able to escape the influence of time, one can never live forever.

Several crucial transformations, rebirths, all aimed at strengthening one's resistance to the invisible force of time, ultimately leading to transcendence and mastery over it.

The laws of time began to manifest around him.

Fragments of time danced in the air, some depicting scenes from the past, others glimpsing visions of the future.

Those images intertwined together resembled a vast history book, recording the birth and death of all things in heaven and earth.

Wang Mingyuan saw the past of Emperor Wushi; he saw the young Wushi, full of vigor and sweeping across the world.
He saw the Beginningless in his prime, suppressing forbidden zones and shaking the world;
He saw Wu Shi in his later years, his life force declining, yet he remained invincible.

He even saw the future of the Great Emperor Wushi; he saw branching timelines, some leading to death, some to rebirth, some to endless battles, and some to eternal peace.

"The laws of time are indeed profound."

Wang Mingyuan exclaimed that when he looked at Emperor Wushi, he even felt a sense of déjà vu, like he was looking at Emperor Wuzhong back then.

The Great Emperor Wushi is now walking many paths similar to those of the Immortal King Wuzhong. However, he has also strayed in many other directions.

However, he did not back down and began to talk about reincarnation.

"The cycle of six realms of reincarnation, the birth and death of all things."

Birth and death, death and birth, endless cycle, an unending loop.

By transcending reincarnation, one can escape the Three Realms and transcend the Five Elements.

The phantom images of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared around him.

The six realms of existence—the realm of gods, the realm of asuras, the realm of humans, the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of hell—revolve and revolve, enacting the cycle of birth and death of all things.

Within the phantom, souls fall from the heavens and descend into hell;

Some evil spirits escaped from hell and ascended to heaven.

Life and death are intertwined, good and evil are rewarded and punished; everything is in the cycle of reincarnation.

The debate between the two Heavenly Emperors triggered a strange change in the world.

Chaotic energy surged around Wang Mingyuan, evolving into countless worlds.

Those heavens and earth were born from chaos, went through the creation of the world, the growth of all things, the rise and fall of civilizations, and finally their destruction, before returning to chaos.

This is a complete process of the universe's birth and death.

Around the Great Emperor Wushi, fragments of time danced, depicting the cycle of all things.

Among those fragments are the birth and destruction of stars, the birth and death of life, and the rise and fall of civilizations.

This is a manifestation of the passage of time.

Their paths intertwined, triggering an even more astonishing phenomenon.

A series of breathtaking scenes appeared in the void around them.

The universe is in a state of flux, with one star field after another being born and another being destroyed.

Chaos surged, immortal light danced, and fragments of laws streaked across the void like a meteor shower.

Everything is in a cycle of reincarnation; living beings go from birth to death, and from death to rebirth.

The cycle continues endlessly, seemingly without end.

As time flows by, images of the past, present, and future intertwine, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Heaven and earth were shattering, the void was collapsing, and chaos was churning, as if we had returned to the beginning of time.

These phenomena are not illusions or phantoms, but the true manifestation of the two people's Dao.

They intertwine to form an unprecedentedly magnificent picture.

If someone were watching from a distance, they would be so shocked that they would be speechless.

This is a debate between two Heavenly Emperors, a collision and fusion of two supreme Daos.

Never before in history has there been a discussion of this magnitude. (End of Chapter)
