Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
"Do you think I'm the Evergreen Immortal Emperor?"
Chen Luo did not speak. He had encountered similar situations before. In the eyes of the 'Dongtian Gourd', he was the reincarnation of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. In the eyes of the 'River of Rebirth', he was the resurrected ancestor of the Zhang family. Now that there was another person who mistook him, it was not surprising.
"If I had gone with you, maybe the ending would have been different."
The old man's voice was a little sobbing, and he walked to a distance in front of Chen Luo and stopped. Chen Luo could clearly sense the old man's condition. Compared with Wang Chengguan and Zhang Yunwei, the spirit of the Rebirth River, this old man was as weak as a ghost and could be blown away with a breath.
"What's behind that door?"
The old man looked at Chen Luo, without any calculation or murderous intent, only a trace of unwillingness left at the moment of his demise.
People have two sides.
The same is true for immortals.
The powerful divide it into two sides, one is good and the other is evil. Some people also call it immortal and demon.
The evil thoughts of the Immortal Emperor are called the 'evil body'. The cognition and cultivation methods of the evil body are the same as those of the main body, the only difference is the soul. The evil body is only a thought and cannot cultivate the soul, so it has been suppressed by the main body. It can only interfere with it when the main body breaks through the cultivation level. The 'heart demon' on the road to immortal cultivation comes from this.
The inner demon is within, never an external thing.
The Immortal Emperor Changqing transformed his evil thoughts into a person, named Wang Chengguan, and let him walk the immortal path to try another way. But the result is obvious, Wang Chengguan also failed, and is still imprisoned in the tomb by the Immortal Emperor Changqing. Zhang Chengdao is even more ruthless, he doesn't trust anyone, not even his own evil body. So he intercepted a piece of netherworld soil, trained his evil body into a weapon soul, and used this as the foundation to create the supreme divine weapon "River of Rebirth".
But no matter whether it was the Immortal Emperor Changqing or the ancestor of the Zhang family, they failed and were all losers.
The path taken by the Immortal Emperor of the Universe is different from that of the two of them.
Judging from the results, his fate was even worse than the previous two, and even his evil body was so weak. He was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
"Door?"
Chen Luo finally heard some useful information and took the initiative to ask.
After these words were spoken, the evil body of the Immortal Emperor of the Universe was stunned for a moment, and then revealed a desperate smile.
“So, you failed too.”
He tried every possible way in the world, summed up the failed experiences of the past immortal emperors, and finally came to the conclusion that only the direction of the Changqing Immortal Emperor was the way to survive, and made a last-ditch effort. In the end, he found that the Changqing Immortal Emperor had also fallen, and the "old friend" who appeared in front of him, although he had the aura of the Changqing Immortal Emperor, was essentially a different person.
fail?
Or success?
The evil body of the Immortal Emperor of the Universe smiled with relief, then sat down cross-legged opposite Chen Luo.
"I don't know what to call you, friend."
"Call me Changsheng."
Chen Luo suddenly recalled his name in the world of immortal cultivation a long time ago - Immortal Immortal. All along, he was pursuing immortality. Theoretically, the fourth-level immortals had already achieved immortality, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. The fall of the Universal Immortal Emperor was a reminder to him.
Longevity does not mean immortality.
"It turns out to be Taoist Changsheng."
The evil body of the Universal Immortal Emperor cupped his hands and then began to talk about the "door".
The so-called "gate" is not a portal in the literal sense, nor is it a cross-border passage, nor is it the gate to the upper world. The immortal world is already the pinnacle of all the heavens and worlds. The Immortal Emperor stands at the pinnacle of the world, possessing infinite life and infinite Dharma.
They are invincible in the world, and every Immortal Emperor is the pioneer of his own path.
For example, the Immortal Emperor Changqing's Way of Longevity, the Zhang Family's Ancestor's Way of the Underworld, and the Immortal Emperor Huanyu's Way of the Sword, each of them has taken the path they are on to the limit. The Immortal Emperor is the limit of the path, but even at the limit, it cannot withstand the infinite calamity.
"I wonder if you have ever listened to the Infinite Tribulation?"
"Infinite kalpa?"
"All cultivators who have reached the Emperor Realm will touch the Infinite. Because the 'Emperor' is also the Infinite."
The evil body of the Immortal Emperor of the Universe spoke secrets that only a small group of people like them knew.
Chen Luo thought of the Infinite Realm.
Zhang Chengdao also faced a similar problem in the past and made many attempts. Judging from the results, he should have failed.
"What exactly is the infinite kalpa?"
"have no idea."
The evil body of the Universal Immortal Emperor shook his head.
"It could be the obsession in our hearts, it could be our relatives and friends around us, or even ourselves."
What exactly is the infinite calamity is a secret that every Immortal Emperor wants to find out.
In the past, an Immortal Emperor had speculated about a conspiracy theory. The deceased Immortal Emperor believed that there was a higher level world above the Immortal Realm. In that world, there was a group of powerful people who surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm who were raising them. When he had this idea, Wuliangjie quickly gave him the corresponding feedback.
That nameless Immortal Emperor also died at the hands of a 'higher level' powerful being that he imagined.
Because of this wrong guess, the later Immortal Emperors died in the fate of "going against the heavens". It was not until later that Taixuan Immortal Emperor realized that something was wrong, and then he stopped them from going down this wrong path.
Without the Immortal Emperor's imagination, those 'upper realm cultivators' quickly disappeared into thin air.
Then there are the inner demons, the witches, and the demons.
Each one has the potential to turn into a catastrophe and eventually into an infinite calamity.
Throughout the ages of the Immortal Realm, there have been a total of twenty-one Immortal Emperors. These twenty-one people represent twenty-one directions. Each Immortal Emperor is a master of all paths, and they firmly believe that their path is the right one. Over the ages, these Immortal Emperors have all disappeared in the long river of history, and only Huanyu and Taixuan have survived.
The two of them chose to use everything in the world to avert the disaster.
The infinite calamities that belonged to the Immortal Emperor were transferred to the heads of all living beings. This is why the great calamity that occurs every few thousand years in the Immortal Realm. The 'source of the great calamity' that Chen Luo was looking for was these two living Immortal Emperors.
After the fall of the Immortal Emperor of the Universe, Emperor Taixuan was the only one left in the world.
If Chen Luo could kill this man, the great calamity of the immortal world would end. However, this end was not fundamental. Once he became an immortal emperor, the infinite calamity would come again, and there was no way to avoid it.
"When the Immortal Emperor Changqing fell, he found a door. He believed that the door was the source of the 'Infinite Tribulation' and he entered it alone."
The evil body of the Universal Immortal Emperor continued.
"At that time, we all thought that Changqing had fallen into a wrong cognition. Because he believed, 'Wulianjie' showed him a door."
Having said this, the Immortal Emperor of the Universe suddenly stopped talking and looked at Chen Luo opposite him.
As an old friend of the Immortal Emperor Changqing, he was sure that his perception would not be wrong. The young man opposite him did have the aura of the Immortal Emperor Changqing! Although this aura was very subtle and mixed with the auras of some other old friends, the source was definitely correct. The Immortal Emperor Changqing practiced the Way of Longevity and was best at simulating the auras of others. The Nine Source Ancient God in the past was based on this and thought until his death that his clansmen had betrayed him.
"But he brought something out of that door."
"What?"
"I don't know. Because Changqing is dead."
Is the Immortal Emperor Changqing really dead?
A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Luo's mind. He remembered the Starry Tomb he had walked out of. And the endless starry sky in the tomb, which did not look like something that could be arranged in a hurry. (End of this chapter)
