Deep in the jungle.
In a certain unseen secret realm.
Lin Yu slowly regained consciousness.
Everything around me was so unfamiliar.
Where is this?
Just then, a lush tree slowly moved over, its broad branches like arms helping Lin Yu to his feet.
On the tree was an old face, like an old grandfather, looking at him kindly.
On the other side, in the lake, ripples spread, and a voluptuous woman in the shape of a water person slowly took shape. She used a lotus leaf to scoop up a pool of clear water and handed it to Lin Yu.
"Thanks!"
Glug glug!
Lin Yu was indeed extremely thirsty, so he took the drink and drank it.
In the distance, the majestic mountains surged and churned, and several burly figures appeared, kneeling before Lin Yu like stone men. The trees and water spirits also followed suit.
"Greetings, Human Emperor!"
Lin Yu waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Get up, seniors!"
He vaguely remembered that when he awakened in the golden cocoon, various gods from mountains, rivers, and the earth appeared in human form, wanting to protect him and help him fight against the calamity. Now that he thought about it, it was them.
Immortals!
"I never imagined that all the great deities and seniors were hiding in this secret realm!" Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
The water spirit laughed and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. We only fell into the realm of spirits because we were afraid of death. We are neither human nor ghost. Even if we live forever, it is just a miserable existence. How can we be called gods!"
Big Tree laughed heartily, "Actually, we are ghosts. Those people outside would probably be scared out of their wits if they saw us!"
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "Humans are living ghosts, and ghosts are dead people. There's nothing to be afraid of. I will always remember the kindness of you seniors who helped me that day!"
Now that he has reached the realm of immortality, he can perceive the existence of gods and ghosts.
In the past, even if these immortals appeared before him, he probably wouldn't have recognized them.
Now, although he has entered the Longevity Realm, it seems that there is an uncontrollable power in his body. If it weren't for Lu Xueqing's stimulation, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. It's really terrifying.
Thinking back to how he had attacked Liu Jingwu, he felt extremely frightened, realizing he had almost killed his own student.
"Seniors, I would like to ask you a question!" Lin Yu suddenly asked.
The water elemental chuckled and said, "Your Majesty the Human Emperor must be asking us madmen a question, right?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "I don't know why I suddenly went mad. This has never happened before. I have always focused on one path in my cultivation, never dabbling in evil methods, and I have no lustful thoughts. How could such a terrible side be hidden in my heart? You are all enlightened saints, so you should be able to give me some guidance!"
The tree laughed heartily, "Human Emperor, you are the supreme ruler, how could we mountain spirits and wild monsters possibly offer you advice? Haven't you noticed the biggest difference between you and us?"
"What?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.
The enormous tree turned around and said, "We, the many immortals, entered immortality through our own opportunities. Although our opportunities differ, the outcome is nothing more than transformation into the Dao, into mountains, rivers, trees, or clouds. But after transforming into the Dao, it is difficult to manifest in the world in human form! But you, the Human Emperor, can still walk in the world in human form!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what he meant and nodded, saying, "That's right, my realm is no different from yours, only our existence situations are different. Why is that? Could you please enlighten me, senior?"
"I dare not accept such praise! As the Human Emperor sees, our transformation into mountains, rivers, and trees is a last resort. Because the Longevity Realm transcends the mortal dimension, ordinary physical bodies cannot withstand the pressure brought by the realm. At the moment of Dao Transformation, the physical body will inevitably shatter and be difficult to preserve. Only some special bloodlines, which have been powerful since ancient times, can sweep across the nine heavens and ten earths, the universe and the stars, so that the human body can be preserved!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly realized, "So, this is related to my divine bloodline?"
The water spirit took over the conversation, nodding and saying, "What the Human Emperor says is absolutely right. Our lowly bodies are naturally no match for divine blood. Moreover, you are the reincarnation of the Human Emperor, who came by the power of your will. You are as solid as diamond, as long-lived as heaven and earth, sun and moon, and are a being of the Nine-Nine Body and the Primordial Body. You are the supreme being and therefore indestructible!"
"It's not as bad as you guys make it out to be, is it?" Lin Yu scratched his head and said, "I think I'm pretty bad, and now I've gone mad and almost hurt innocent people. I'm extremely ashamed!"
The Water Elemental said softly, "Human Emperor, there is no need to worry. This is a journey that every chosen one of all time must go through. It is a sign of a strong bloodline! What is immortality? It is actually the process of eliminating oneself. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of death, or what we might call Nirvana!"
"You are unable to enter Nirvana because your bloodline is too strong, but your spirit has already entered the empty Nirvana realm. The disharmony between your spirit and body makes it impossible for you to control yourself. Once you encounter something emotionally unstable, you are prone to going into a state of madness! Your grandmother also entered the Longevity Realm when she first entered it. She lost control of her emotions due to stimulation and went into a state of madness!"
Lin Yu's eyes widened in shock as he suddenly remembered that his grandmother had indeed gone mad back then, even slaughtering the entire Ao clan! So that was the reason! It turned out that his grandmother had actually achieved immortality long ago!
"What about my master? You should all know my master, right? He's also an immortal, so why didn't he go mad!"
Lin Yu hurriedly asked again, as he had too many questions now.
When my master was alive, he never told me these things. When we parted, it was too rushed, and he didn't have time to explain many things.
Therefore, he doesn't know many things.
The water spirit said, "Your master is the incarnation of the Golden Crow! An incarnation, to put it simply, is just an image, so naturally he wouldn't go mad!"
"During the War of the Gods, the Golden Crow was the only surviving deity. To provide sunlight and living conditions for humanity, he could only hang high in the dome, unable to leave for even a moment. However, relying on the strength of his original body, he could project some of his energy to form an avatar. The old blind man was his avatar! But this avatar was unstable; once the energy was used excessively, it would naturally dissipate! Therefore, the idea that he went mad is unfounded!"
I see!
Lin Yu's doubts were immediately resolved. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Then do you know how to prevent madness? I've already experienced it once. When the demonic influence manifests, I can't control myself at all. I'm afraid that if it recurs, I'll do something I'll regret!"
The water elemental said, "There is only one way, and that is to enter the Realm of Immortality!"
"The Realm of Immortality?" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is that a secret realm? Where is it?"
"That's not a secret realm!"
The water spirit explained, "That was a world established by all the powerful bloodline long-lived beings in the entire Saha world several eons ago. It is said that there are divine artifacts in the Longevity Realm that can suppress the power of bloodlines. So as long as you enter the Longevity Realm, even if you go mad, the divine artifact will quickly sense it and suppress your bloodline, and the madness will naturally be cured!"
