Nirvana Without Beginning, Rebirth of the Heavenly Emperor

The discussion lasted for seven days and seven nights.

Seven days later, the two stopped at the same time.

Wang Mingyuan's eyes were full of insights.

His body was trembling slightly, and the laws of the Great Dao within him were being reorganized and sublimated.

The explanation from the Great Emperor Wushi gave him a deeper understanding of the laws of time and prompted him to think more deeply about the path to Nirvana.

In his mind, a grand picture was slowly unfolding.

"If I want to achieve the status of a powerful Battle Immortal, I already have more than enough to improve my combat power through a minor Nirvana."

The only thing that needs to be emphasized is the impact of time on me.

I will stand firmly on the river of time, unaffected by its passage…

Wang Mingyuan muttered to himself, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

All immortals must go through this step, transcending time and standing atop the long river.

This was true in the ancient times, and it is true now.

However, the current path of the Immortal of the Mortal World is more powerful in combat, and its resistance to time increases slowly until it finally achieves a perfect transformation and completely breaks free from the influence of time.

Once a mortal immortal completes the final step of Nirvana, they become a quasi-immortal king.

Wang Mingyuan's combat power has reached an unbelievable level, and he is about to reach this threshold.

However, his resistance to time is still insufficient. Once he undergoes another minor rebirth, his combat strength will be about the same.

"Once your combat power is fully upgraded, you can achieve the status of a Battle Immortal by striking the River of Time, which saves you a significant step."

The most crucial point in taking this step is this: if you lose your strength in the long run and fail to break free, you will perish completely.

This is also the most dangerous aspect of the Transformation Immortal.

Before doing so, no one can be sure whether their combat strength is sufficient or not, since no one has ever reached that level.

However, Wang Mingyuan is certain.

Because the memories of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King are at the level of an Immortal King giant, he has a clear standard for the benchmark of combat power and the key to transformation.

He can take a shortcut.

A flash of understanding also appeared in the eyes of the Great Emperor Wushi.

Wang Mingyuan's explanation of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique and the Six Paths of Reincarnation gave him a new understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang and the cycle of reincarnation.

His inner sea was reforged during this process, and his combat power was slightly improved.

To Wang Mingyuan's surprise, this person's comprehension of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique was extraordinary, and the speed of progress was beyond expectation.

It was as if the True Phoenix Treasure Technique was made for him from birth; a strange resonance actually occurred between his innate sacred body and the secret technique of the Phoenix Clan.

During the discussion, the Great Emperor Wushi underwent a minor Nirvana, which greatly reduced his injuries.

By the end of the discussion, he had almost recovered.

Wang Mingyuan even believed that with enough treasures and resources, the Great Emperor Wushi could now perform a Nirvana on the spot.

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten thousand years of merit," sighed the Great Emperor Wushi, his voice filled with emotion.

Wang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. Your Majesty's explanation has also benefited me greatly."

Emperor Wushi shook his head, his gaze profound.

"Our paths may differ, but they lead to the same destination. Both are for transcendence, for eternity."

The True Phoenix Treasure Technique you described has given me a great deal of insight.

Having clashed with the Immortal Emperor for over two thousand years in his later years, and with the addition of recent clashes, my understanding of him has deepened.

After your explanation, I have almost fully grasped his methods and changes.

"Now I feel like I've undergone a rebirth, and I've gone quite a distance on the path of becoming an immortal in the mortal world."

A single discussion on the Dao is equivalent to tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation!

The Great Emperor Wushi expressed his gratitude sincerely.

There was a rare warmth in his eyes.

For so many years, he has been fighting alone in this strange world, confronting the Immortal Who Mending the Heavens, the Undying Emperor, and all the malice of this world.

He never had any helpers, never had anyone he could trust.

Wang Mingyuan's arrival was not only a boost in combat strength, but also a source of comfort for the soul.

Wang Mingyuan was actually grateful as well.

The Great Emperor Wushi's grasp of time surpasses that of everyone else. This kind of discourse makes his understanding of the scale of time clearer, and he is more confident in becoming a Battle Immortal.

The two looked at each other and saw the same light in each other's eyes.

That radiance belongs to a true strongman; it is not the desire for power, nor the greed for immortality, but the dedication to the Way and the belief in protection.

After a discussion, both of them gained the confidence and means to achieve a second rebirth.

"What are your plans next?" Emperor Wushi asked.

Wang Mingyuan's gaze sharpened as he looked into the depths of this strange world.

"Heal, break through, and then... find the Emperor."

"Emperor?" Emperor Wushi frowned.

“That’s right.” Wang Mingyuan nodded. “The reason why the Immortal of Mending Heaven and the Undying Emperor were able to pinpoint your location is because a third party was secretly helping them.”

I imagine you've already noticed this.

That person is the Emperor.

"An emperor from the mythological era?"

"Exactly."

The Great Emperor Wushi remained silent.

He knew about the Emperor, the most powerful being of that mythical era, the first person to walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, and the supreme figure who established the Heavenly Court.

If he had lived from the mythological era to the present day, he would undoubtedly have already successfully traversed the path of becoming a mortal immortal.

If the Emperor is truly still alive, and in this strange world, then the situation becomes even more complicated.

"Are you confident?" Emperor Wushi asked.

Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly, his smile full of confidence.

"Have."

"Don't you have one?"

"Of course!"

They both burst into laughter, feeling extremely happy.

At this moment, the barrier between the two Heavenly Emperors completely disappeared.

They are not superiors and subordinates, not seniors and juniors, but true fellow practitioners, comrades-in-arms to whom you can entrust your back.

"In that case, why don't we go to my temple first?"

I have gained enough insight, and I have also accumulated enough treasures in this world over the years.

Forming a grand formation and then undergoing a rebirth using the True Phoenix Technique is, for me, a perfectly logical course of action.

The Great Emperor Wushi was very magnanimous and directly led Wang Mingyuan to that special place.

Perhaps because he had never seen any helpers before, Emperor Wushi was a little unaccustomed to having helpers for the first time.

The Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi is located in a hidden star field deep within a strange world.

This place was completely sealed off by the Great Emperor Wushi using the laws of time. It is invisible and imperceptible to the outside world. Even a divine sense at the level of a Red Dust Immortal would only perceive it as nothingness.

Within the star field, a colossal continent floats. On this continent, mountains rise and fall, rivers crisscross, and the spiritual energy is so dense it's almost liquefied.

In the heart of the continent stands a magnificent palace, the residence of the Great Emperor Wushi.

Beneath the mainland lies the accumulation of over 80,000 years of the Great Emperor Wushi.

Wang Mingyuan followed the Great Emperor Wushi into the continent and sensed the immense, suffocating energy fluctuations underground.

His divine sense probed into the ground and saw that astonishing wealth.

Ninety-nine dragon veins!

That was a miracle that could only be created during the era of the Emperor. It was a miracle created when the Emperor was invincible in heaven and earth, and all the Emperors coexisted. He collected the ancestral dragon veins from all the most powerful ancient stars in the entire universe and piled them up on the ancient primordial star.

He used this to forge the immortal artifact, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

Later generations tried to imagine it, let alone learn how to do it.

Because only figures from that era could drive the Source God and Source Demon, wield the powerful Dragon Vein, and regain control of the traversal.

And now, this most magnificent scene has been recreated in this very place.

Ninety-nine ancestral dragon veins stretch across the heavens and earth.

Each dragon vein stretches for tens of thousands of miles, like a real dragon coiled deep underground.

Within the dragon veins, spiritual energy surged, laws intertwined, and they radiated a dazzling light. These dragon veins were imprisoned one by one from strange places around the world by the Great Emperor Wushi over the past 80,000 years, and each one was priceless.

Extremely precious and rare.

Then, using unparalleled methods, they set up an array, which can truly be described as ingenious.

At the center of the dragon vein lies an immortal herb.

It was a divine tree, entirely golden in color, about three feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, radiating a soft golden light.

On the divine tree hung nine golden fruits, each containing a vast amount of life essence.

That is the Golden Divine Tree, the finest among immortal medicines; taking even one can extend one's lifespan by ten thousand years.

However, in this world where longevity resources are abundant, this is merely a side effect and not particularly powerful.

Its true effect is to transform a person's physique and bloodline, giving them golden blood and energy like a healthy body, and an extraordinary physique.

In addition, there are dozens of other rare treasures, including the refined true blood of the phoenix, which should have come from the Undying Emperor.

It possesses a Qilin horn; though not at the level of a true immortal, it is close to one, making it extremely special and precious.

Items like the Primordial Life Stone and the Heavenly Life Rock are extremely common... each one is so precious that even ancient emperors and celestial beings are driven mad by them.

Wang Mingyuan gasped. He had thought that the Great Emperor Wushi was living a hard life in the strange world, but he never expected that his brother would actually be driving a Land Rover here.

Eighty thousand years of accumulation is truly astonishing.

The Great Emperor Wushi looked at these treasures and said calmly, "Over the years, I have fought against the True Immortal of Mending Heaven and the Undying Emperor, killing many of their subordinates and seizing many of their treasures."

He also gained a lot while cultivating, experiencing, and venturing in the world.

I don't need that much of these things; please take as much as you like.

Without any hesitation, Wang Mingyuan selected several treasures that were most useful to him: a Chaos Stone, a drop of Phoenix True Blood, and a Qilin Horn.

As for other miscellaneous items, he took a whole bunch of auxiliary items for Nirvana.

These treasures, combined with his own accumulated wealth, were enough for him to achieve a great rebirth.

It is no longer necessary to use the essence and blood of six ancient emperors to complete the so-called minor nirvana as before.

"I will help you achieve Nirvana first."

Wang Mingyuan said.

Emperor Wushi nodded.

Neither of them were coy or hesitant, and they got to work quickly.

Led by Wang Mingyuan, an unprecedented array was set up. This array had unprecedented foundation, after all, he had saved Lingbao Tianzun and possessed Lingbao Tianzun's character combination secrets and the memories of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

In this regard, no one in the entire era of Shrouding the Heavens could compare to him.

This is a massive immortal array, based on ninety-nine dragon veins, with the golden divine tree as its eye, and dozens of rare and precious treasures as its array patterns.

Every node of the formation needs to be extremely precise. The slightest error will cause the energy to go berserk and blow the entire star field into nothingness.

Wang Mingyuan used the principles of chaos to inscribe array patterns, and each line contained his understanding of the Great Dao.

The Great Emperor Wushi stabilized the foundation of the array with the laws of time, ensuring that the array would not collapse during the Nirvana process.

Even though both of them were beings beyond the Heavenly Emperor level and possessed unparalleled treasures, it still took them nine days to set up this formation.

The moment the last rune was drawn, the entire continent trembled.

Ninety-nine dragon veins emitted light simultaneously, and spiritual energy surged out like a tide, converging at the center of the magic array.

The Golden Tree shone brightly, its nine fruits emitting a dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire star field.

Dozens of rare and precious treasures burned simultaneously, transforming into streams of light that merged into the magic array.

At the center of the magic circle, a giant cocoon of light formed.

Within the cocoon of light, energy surged and laws intertwined, as if nurturing some new life.

The Great Emperor Wushi sat cross-legged in the cocoon of light, surrounded by the laws of time.

He looked at Wang Mingyuan and nodded.

"Let's begin."

Wang Mingyuan took a deep breath and activated the magic array.

boom!
Ninety-nine dragon veins erupted simultaneously, and spiritual energy, like ninety-nine real dragons, surged out from the ground and soared into the sky.

They intertwined, swirled, and merged in the air, eventually transforming into a vast ocean of spiritual energy that submerged the entire continent.

The nine fruits of the Golden Tree exploded simultaneously, transforming into nine golden pillars of light that pierced the heavens and earth. Within these golden pillars of light lay the complete essence of the elixir of immortality, a life force powerful enough to bring the dead back to life.

Dozens of rare and precious treasures transformed into streams of light, weaving through the ocean of spiritual energy like colorful fish swimming in a vast expanse of energy.

The entire star field was trembling and glowing.

The Great Emperor Wushi sat cross-legged at the center of everything, and the laws of time around him began to fluctuate violently.

His body began to glow.

The light was neither golden nor white, but a transparent, almost ethereal radiance.

That is the light of time, the light of years, the culmination of more than 80,000 years of cultivation by the Great Emperor Wushi.

His flesh and blood were burning, his bones were being reshaped, and his very essence was undergoing a transformation.

This is a complete rebirth, not simply repairing injuries, but a complete rebuilding of oneself.

He did not choose to undergo nirvana when he was weak, but rather to attempt it during his prime, to verify his own path.

Wang Mingyuan stood outside the magic array, quietly watching everything.

In his eyes, every detail of the Nirvana of the Great Emperor Wushi was reflected.

It was an unparalleled experience, witnessing firsthand the rebirth of a being at the level of a Heavenly Emperor, and for him, it was also a rare enlightenment.

He saw the past of the Great Emperor Wushi: the spirited youth, the young man who swept across the world, the middle-aged man who suppressed forbidden zones, and the old man who remained invincible even in his later years.

He saw the Dao of the Great Emperor Wushi, and the law of time took root and sprouted within his body, growing into a towering tree.

The tree's roots are planted in the Sea of ​​Wheels, its trunk runs through the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, and the Transformation Dragon, and its canopy covers the Immortal Platform.

The entire tree was glowing, burning, and undergoing a rebirth.

He saw the future of the Great Emperor Wushi: branching timelines unfolding in the void, some leading to death, some to rebirth, some to endless battles, and some to eternal peace.

The Great Emperor Wushi even manipulated time to deliberately lead his body towards the end of its decline, and then brought it into Nirvana.

This was suicidal, because there were other, brighter, directions in his future path.

But when the Great Emperor Wushi manipulated the path towards a future that was clearly not the most brilliant.

When he determined the path, the originally dim path he had chosen suddenly shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

Then this line transforms into the brightest and most dazzling one.

That is a path leading to immortality in the mortal world.

The Great Emperor Wushi is walking down that path.

The rebirth lasted for seven days.

Over the course of seven days, the aura of the Great Emperor Wushi grew stronger and stronger.

His body constantly changed within the cocoon of light, sometimes appearing as young as a boy, and sometimes as old as an old man.

His appearance has changed over time, from boyhood to youth, from youth to middle age, from middle age to old age, and then back to boyhood.

From Wang Mingyuan's perspective, this is a cycle, the ultimate explanation of the mysteries of reincarnation. But from the perspective of the Great Emperor Wushi, this is a time cycle, the ultimate mystery of time.

Within this cycle, his life is sublimated, his principles are perfected, and his origin is strengthened.

On the seventh day, cracks began to appear in the light cocoon.

Golden rays of light shot out from the cracks, illuminating the entire star field.

The aura of the Great Emperor Wushi reached an unprecedented peak.

However, at this most critical moment, a sudden change occurred!

Deep within this strange world, two terrifying auras erupted simultaneously.

A beam of celestial light, interwoven with laws, emanated from the True Immortal who mended the heavens.

A beam of five-colored divine light shot into the sky, and the phantom of a phoenix appeared—it was the Undying Emperor.

Two mortal immortals attacked simultaneously!
They searched for many days without success, but when the Great Emperor Wushi made no attempt to conceal his true intentions and began his Nirvana with all his might...

They sensed the aura of the Great Emperor Wushi's Nirvana, and the power that was transforming and sublimating.

They knew that if the Great Emperor Wushi successfully completed this Nirvana, his strength would experience a qualitative leap.

By then, they will be even more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, they must stop it!

The Immortal Who Mending Heaven was the first to strike, unleashing a palm strike that transformed into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, reaching straight for the continent where the Great Emperor Wushi had undergone Nirvana.

The Undying Emperor followed closely behind, unleashing the Undying Heavenly Blade. A beam of light tore through the void, carrying the power to destroy everything, and slashed towards the Great Emperor Wushi.

The combined attack of the two Immortals of the Mortal Realm was earth-shattering, capable of even shattering the universe. (End of Chapter)
