Chapter 835
Conspiracy
Daqian Dynasty.
Emperor Qian looked at the Eternal Heaven before him, his expression somewhat complicated.
"The Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique? Regardless of aptitude, as long as one lives through nine lifetimes, one can become a Primordial Realm expert?"
Emperor Qian said in a deep voice, "Is this the secret of eternal life in the Great Luo Heaven?"
"Yes."
Changshengtian slowly said, "Experts in the Primordial Realm have long lifespans, which can almost be considered immortality."
Moreover, before reaching the Primordial Realm, one can retain memories and cultivation through nine reincarnations. How is this different from immortality?
In short, those who cultivate the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique have a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists.
"To live nine lifetimes is certainly a very long lifespan, but to live through all nine lifetimes completely is probably not an easy thing."
Emperor Qian said.
He immediately discovered the weakness of the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.
Nine lifetimes, and in each lifetime one must live to a ripe old age and die peacefully, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.
This is incredibly difficult.
Emperor Qian only needed a moment to think before he understood the difficulty involved.
He now finally understood why the Eternal Heaven had been unwilling to take action.
Even when the Great Qian Dynasty's army pressed in, the Eternal Heaven was able to endure it.
It turned out to be the case.
If he were the Eternal Heaven, he wouldn't be willing to risk taking action.
Although there aren't many people in the world who can kill the Eternal Heaven, what if one does?
In this world, it is not uncommon for strong people to stumble and fall into unexpected trouble.
"Eternal Heaven, now that you're telling me all this, aren't you afraid I'll leave you here?"
If I'm not mistaken, you probably haven't reached the perfect state of Nine Deaths yet.
If I kill you now, all your previous efforts will have been in vain.
Emperor Qian spoke, his voice icy, a hint of killing intent flashing deep in his eyes.
"Of course I know, but if you want to kill me, it won't be that easy."
"And if I die, where will you learn the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique?"
Chang Sheng Tian laughed heartily, "I can guarantee that unless I do so willingly, no one in the world can obtain the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique from me."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Emperor Qian calmed down and spoke slowly.
He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and certainly no such thing as a free lunch.
How could the Eternal Heaven possibly send him such a great gift for no reason?
The more you give, the more you expect.
Emperor Qian believed that everything in this world was exchanged for its equivalent value.
That's why he was willing to pay such a high price to befriend Su Mu.
Because he knew very well what he could get from Su Mu in the future.
"Since you know that the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique has such a great weakness, you must want to know if there is a way to eliminate this weakness."
Chang Shengtian smiled mysteriously and said, "I can tell you, there is."
Some people, without going through nine lifetimes of reincarnation, have mastered the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, thus gaining a method to avoid reincarnation.
"You don't need to live so cautiously for so long; you can directly master the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique."
"Ok?"
Emperor Qian's expression changed, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
"Can one directly cultivate to the Primordial Realm without suffering the cycle of reincarnation?"
Emperor Qian said in a deep voice, his face full of disbelief.
He certainly wanted immortality, but if he couldn't achieve immortality, then breaking through to the Primordial Realm was also an option.
After all, the lifespan of a Tai Chu Realm expert is far greater than that of a Dao Ji Realm expert, and they are practically immortal.
The moment Emperor Qian heard about the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, he wanted to cultivate it.
He had even devised several plans in his mind to ensure his safety for nine lifetimes, such as leaving himself guards and resources.
Alternatively, if one were to be the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty in every lifetime, the chances of dying a natural death would be extremely high.
That's what the Eternal Heaven did.
In every lifetime, he is the Eternal Heaven of the Great Luo Heaven, which is his means of self-defense.
The Great Qian Dynasty is more powerful than the Great Luo Heaven. If Emperor Qian cultivates the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, he will naturally have unique advantages.
Even so, after nine cycles, no one can say for sure that there won't be any unexpected events.
If time drags on long enough, anything can happen.
If we could skip that process and let him directly cultivate the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to perfection and become a Primordial Realm expert, that would be the best outcome.
“I didn’t believe there was such a way before, but now I’m sure there is.”
Chang Shengtian said in a deep voice, "This method is now in Su Mu's hands."
I'm not satisfied either. For some reason, I accidentally passed on the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to Su Mu.
As it turned out, I discovered that in just a few months, Su Mu had already cultivated the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to the sixth level of death. This was normally impossible, but Su Mu had managed to do it anyway.
Emperor Qian squinted at the Eternal Heaven.
Did he accidentally pass on the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to Su Mu?
I would never believe you.
I'm afraid the reason you were so angry last time in the Great Luo Heaven was because Su Mu somehow stole the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.
The Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique—no wonder you reacted so strongly back then.
However, to be fair, Su Mu is quite capable, managing to steal such an important secret as the Eternal Heaven.
Even Emperor Qian could not imagine how Su Mu had accomplished this.
Regardless, the mystery in my heart has finally been solved.
Now that he knows what Su Mu obtained from the Eternal Heaven, his agreement with Su Mu is naturally useless.
The Jiaxu world and its resources were essentially wasted.
Emperor Qian snorted coldly in his heart, looked at Changsheng Tian, and said coldly, "So, you came to me because you want me to help you obtain the secret of the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique that Su Mu possesses for rapid cultivation?"
"Yes."
Chang Shengtian didn't hide anything and said in a deep voice, "If I were alone, killing Su Mu would be easy, but capturing him alive would be almost impossible, and extracting this secret from him would be even more impossible."
After much thought, I've come to realize that the only person in this world who can truly be considered a kindred spirit of his is you.
If you help me obtain this secret, I will teach you the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, and we can cultivate it together!
“I have fought with Su Mu. If what you say is true, that Su Mu has cultivated the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique and even reached the Six Deaths level, then his current strength is probably much stronger than before.”
Emperor Qian pondered, “How easy is it to capture such a powerful figure alive?”
"Eternal Heaven, you've got a clever plan, haven't you? Trying to get something for nothing?"
"If you're still worried, I can teach you the first half of the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique first."
You can begin your practice now.
However, without Su Mu's secret method, you can only cultivate life after life like me.
Now, Su Mu's Yanfu Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Daxuan Dynasty are all eyeing your Daqian Dynasty with covetous intent.
Once you begin practicing the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, you can never stop.
Don't forget, Su Mu is still young. How long do you think it will take him to ruin you?
Emperor Qian's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
This is true.
Many times, he would forget how young Su Mu was.
Given Su Mu's cultivation level and age, even without the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, he could still live for thousands of years.
Over thousands of years, who knows what Su Mu might accomplish?
Even the Qian Emperor wouldn't dare say he could definitely live past nine generations.
After all, the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique has its weaknesses, and Su Mu has obtained it and knows its shortcomings.
"Therefore, whether it's to obtain a method for quickly cultivating the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, or to cultivate the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique safely, we must eliminate Su Mu."
Chang Shengtian said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I think it's simply impossible for Su Mu to have such cultivation at such a young age."
Of all the geniuses in the world, have you ever seen anyone who could possess his level of skill at his age?
I suspect that Su Mu not only has the ability to quickly cultivate the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, but he also has some other method to rapidly improve his cultivation level.
That's why he's so powerful now!
And this reason is definitely not his talent!
If Su Mu were here, he would be utterly shocked to hear what Changshengtian said.
His possession of the system panel had never been discovered by anyone over the years.
But Changshengtian had almost guessed the truth.
However, Chang Sheng Tian could never have guessed that Su Mu's system panel was only usable by him, and no one else could take it away.
After hearing what Changshengtian said, Emperor Qian fell silent.
He pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Su Mu and I have an agreement that we will meet at the border between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect."
Originally, I traded a small world and countless resources for this meeting, with the aim of obtaining the secret he stole from the Great Luo Heaven.
Now I know, it is the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.
Although I already know the answer, I can't waste this opportunity.
"Chang Sheng Tian, you can join forces with me. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to capture Su Mu!"
"It's not safe for just the two of us."
Chang Sheng Tian said, "I will bring the Four Heavenly Kings of Da Luo Tian, and Emperor Qian. I hope you can also bring your Da Qian Jiu Ji."
We only have this one chance; success is not an option!
He didn't want to tell Emperor Qian that he had lost to Su Mu, so he could only use this method to get Emperor Qian to spare more power. "Very well."
Emperor Qian pondered, "However, we still need to think of a way to get to Su Mu with so many of us."
Su Mu might not allow me to bring people over.
…………
The Great Xuan Dynasty.
Su Mu was congratulating Lu Yin.
"Senior Lu, congratulations! Now that you have broken through to the Pseudo-Primordial Realm, becoming a true Primordial Realm expert is just around the corner."
Su Mu said with a smile.
“I would take it as a compliment if other people said such things, but when you say such things, I feel ashamed.”
Lu Yin smiled wryly, "Before breaking through, I thought I was only a hair's breadth away from the Primordial Realm."
After breaking through, I realized that there was an insurmountable chasm between me and the Primordial Realm.
Even now, I don't know when I will be able to break through to the Primordial Realm.
Perhaps it will never be possible in this lifetime.
However, I'm already quite content to have broken through to the Pseudo-Primordial Realm and glimpsed the true nature of the Primordial Realm from the threshold.
"As for breaking through to the Primordial Realm, your chances are much greater than mine."
Lu Yin said sincerely.
Even now, he still feels like he can't see through Su Mu.
He even felt that Su Mu's cultivation level was no less than his own.
"I still have a long way to go."
Su Mu shook his head and said with some helplessness.
The points required to upgrade the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique are far too many; even he feels a headache coming on.
In order to elevate the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to the Six Deaths realm, he has been working tirelessly these past few days.
He consumed all the weapon-forging materials sent by the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Da Xuan, Yan Fu Sect, and Heng Shan Sect have already sent people to the Jia Xu World to collect weapon-forging materials, but the speed at which they send the materials cannot keep up with the speed at which Su Mu forges weapons.
If this continues, Su Mu will practically empty the treasury of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Although the Yanfu Sect had some foundation, it was still no match for the Great Qian Dynasty and could not support Su Mu's kind of consumption.
Therefore, it would be difficult for Su Mu to accumulate enough points to continue improving the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique in a short period of time.
Unless he can swindle another batch of weapon-forging materials from the Great Qian Dynasty.
Or, simply wipe out the Great Qian Dynasty...
"Senior Lu, what do you think are the chances of annihilating the Great Qian Dynasty if we attack them now?"
Su Mu stroked his chin, pondering.
"Didn't we have a ten-year truce agreement with Daqian?"
Lu Yin was taken aback and said subconsciously.
"Senior Lu, I didn't expect you to be such an upright gentleman."
Su Mu stared at Lu Yin in astonishment. This kind of agreement exists only if you consider it to exist, and it doesn't exist if you consider it not to exist.
Who would actually be bound by this agreement?
The reason the Great Qian Dynasty agreed to a truce was because it feared that the Yanfu Sect and the Great Luo Heaven would unite.
Believe it or not, if the Great Qian Dynasty sees an opportunity, they will not hesitate to break the agreement and take action against the Yanfu Sect and the Great Luo Heaven.
No wonder Yanfu Sect hasn't gained much advantage in its struggles with the Great Qian Dynasty over the years.
Lu Yinqiang is indeed strong, but unfortunately he is somewhat pedantic.
Su Mu, however, had no such concerns.
Su Mu never tried to portray himself as a virtuous gentleman; he preferred people to see him as a scoundrel capable of anything.
In fact, Su Mu is capable of anything.
Face? The dignity of the strong?
What is that?
Only tangible benefits are what Su Mu cares about most.
Seeing Su Mu's strange gaze, Lu Yin scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Even without considering the truce agreement, if we were to attack the Great Qian Dynasty now, the chances of destroying it would be no more than 30%."
"No more than 30%? No way."
Su Mu frowned and said, "You are already at the pseudo-Primordial Realm. Looking at the Great Qian Dynasty, there should be no one who can rival you."
And my strength is not weak either.
With the addition of the power of the Yanfu Sect, Hengshan Sect, and the Great Xuan Dynasty, it should already be no weaker than the Great Qian Dynasty.
Even if I'm not 100% sure, I should be 60% or 70% sure.
Su Mu was quite confident in his abilities.
"On the surface, that is indeed the case."
Lu Yin said seriously, "But that's not the case."
The Great Qian Dynasty has ruled the world for so many years, and its foundation is so profound that it is unimaginable.
On the surface, the Great Qian Dynasty only had nine Dao Realm experts.
But as far as I know, the Great Qian Dynasty still has at least three hidden Dao Realm experts.
As for pseudo-Primordial Realm experts, I can't guarantee that the Great Qian Dynasty definitely doesn't have any.
You should know that only a small percentage of the emperors of the Great Qian Dynasty were confirmed to have died.
I suspect they may still be alive, but have sealed themselves away using a special method.
If necessary, they may break the seal and awaken from their slumber.
I used to have a misconception that the Yanfu Sect actually lacked the strength to contend with the Great Qian Dynasty, and that the Great Qian Dynasty only kept the Yanfu Sect around as a whetstone.
Su Mu frowned slightly.
This was something he hadn't expected.
However, Lu Yin's words were not without merit.
How could the Great Qian Dynasty, which has dominated the world for so many years, not have had some tricks up its sleeve?
He had underestimated the Great Qian Dynasty before.
Emperor Qian was incredibly bold, using the Yanfu Temple as a whetstone.
However, it's not necessarily a good thing for a dynasty to have no enemies.
Without enemies, any dynasty will inevitably decline.
Only with an enemy present can the entire dynasty remain vigilant.
However, this method is not something that ordinary people can use.
If the enemy is too weak, it cannot put pressure on the dynasty; if the enemy is too strong, it may cause the dynasty to truly perish.
It has to be an enemy that is strong enough, yet not strong enough.
Emperor Qian's methods were truly masterful.
"To be on the safe side, I do not recommend that you launch a military campaign against the Great Qian Dynasty now."
Lu Yin said solemnly, "If we really want to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty, I think we need at least one true Tai Chu Realm expert."
"This is a bit troublesome."
Su Mu pondered for a moment and said.
Aside from the Great Qian Dynasty, he really couldn't think of anywhere else to get enough materials for forging weapons.
Without sufficient forging materials, he cannot quickly accumulate enough points to upgrade the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.
Without improving the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, he would be unable to break through to the true Primordial Realm.
This has created a vicious cycle.
Who would have thought that breaking through to the true Primordial Realm would require so many resources?
If forging weapons doesn't work, then must we try alchemy?
Alchemy also requires rare and precious materials, so the situation is not much better than that of weapon forging.
"Senior Lu, even if we can't destroy the Great Qian Dynasty, could we at least take a few small worlds from them?"
Su Mu pondered, "I need a sufficient batch of rare and precious materials; the quantity needs to be large enough."
"The resources held by Da Xuan and Yanfu Sect alone are not enough."
"Even including what Yanfu Sect has, it's not enough?"
Lu Yin said with some surprise, "Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of rare and precious materials with the Yanfu Sect. So many rare and precious materials are not enough for Su Mu to use."
How many Shetland Sheepdogs do you need?
"not enough."
Su Mu said, "It will have to be at least ten times."
Lu Yin's eyes widened, and his breathing became somewhat heavy.
Ten times! How many rare and precious materials are those?
Perhaps only the Great Qian Dynasty could produce such a thing.
Lu Yin's expression turned somewhat strange. Could it be that Su Mu wanted to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty because of this?
For a moment, Lu Yin was both amused and exasperated.
Do you really want to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty just for rare and precious materials?
That's such a simple and honest idea.
"If that's the purpose, I do have a solution."
Lu Yin pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke. (End of Chapter)
