Chapter 570: The head of the Immortal exploded (2 in 1)

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

All the members of Venerable White's team had some understanding about the Daoist Canon. Each person had studied this religious text at some time in the past.

But as soon as the ancient cultivator started to explain the content of the Daoist Canon, the members of the group realized that it was incredibly mysterious. When the text of the Daoist Canon was explained, the ancient cultivator used just a bunch of words that turned into the sound of the 'Great Way' itself.

Each word was a gem, and every sentence of the ancient cultivator was creating a resonance with the principles of the universe.

Strange phenomena appeared, magical clouds blossomed, and golden lotus flowers continuously bloomed and withered in the air...

The members of Venerable White's team all had different levels of strength, but every one of them was entranced with the speech. As each person heard the content of the speech, they came to different types of realizations that were suitable for themselves.

The speech the ancient cultivator was holding had yet to come to an end that Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly already felt the urge to immediately close up and start training. Just a few sentences from the ancient cultivator allowed him to faintly grasp the secret behind the 'Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm'. This trip to the ancient ruins had turned out to be extremely fruitful for Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly just by hearing these few sentences that carried the sound of the 'Great Way' itself.

Venerable White also obtained great benefits. At this time, he had his eyes closed and was contemplating. The spiritual energy around his body was getting continuously compressed, undergoing some kind of transformation.

Likewise, Soft Feather, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, True Monarch Fallout, Cave Lord Snow Wolf, Great Master Profound Principle, and True Monarch White Crane were either contemplating or were engrossed in the speech. All of them obtained some kind of benefit.

After the group of people had safely gotten out of these ancient ruins, it wouldn't be impossible to break through a small or big realm as long as they went into secluded meditation.

The fact that they had chanced upon the speech of this powerful ancient cultivator was a lucky stroke that one could only dream of! It was the fate of a powerful being!

Not to mention that the ancient cultivator before their eyes wasn't an ordinary Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender but an 'Immortal'.

After they reached the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm while there was already another Wielder of the Will in charge, the extremely talented geniuses that had what it took to carry the Will of the Heavens went one step further and found their own ways to immortality, increasing their realm by half a step and becoming 'Immortals'.

During ancient times, each of those geniuses that managed to find their own way to immortality was a dazzling talent during their time.

The Heavenly Emperor that built the ancient Heavenly City used the city itself as a foundation for his majestic way to immortality. His way to immortality wasn't just limited to himself; the members of the ancient Heavenly City could also benefit from the effects of the immortality. As long as the Heavenly City wasn't destroyed, all the people inside had the chance to become Immortals and came in contact with the secret of immortality ahead of time.

Aside from that, the founding puppeteer of the ancient Jet-Black Sect also used a very unconventional method and transformed his body into a puppet, creating his own puppet-style way to immortality.

The ancient cultivator holding a speech in front of them was also an 'Immortal' and had thus come up with their own way to immortality. But the question was, what kind of way had they come up with?

Just as Venerable White's team was in deep thought, the ancient cultivator slowly stopped talking. The explanation of the first chapter of the Daoist Canon had come to an end!

Soon after, the full moon-shaped halo on the head of the cultivator became even more dazzling.

The jade white lotus throne beneath their body changed into starry dust, completely disappearing.

Then, a huge lotus flower started to 'grow' on their body, wrapping them up entirely.

Venerable White immediately understood what was going on and said, ”That 'Immortal' is about to reveal their way to immortality!”

The Immortal displayed to all those present the principle behind their way to immortality.

Just as the Immortal demonstrated their way to immortality, the onlookers perceived an incomplete set of principles. The feeling this set of principles gave them was similar to either 'being reborn amidst death' or 'getting a new lease on life'.

A new life was suddenly born within the body of the ancient cultivator. At this time, the new life was on the verge of coming to the world. The new, soon-to-be-born, life was her child... but also she herself!

Yes, the ancient cultivator was a woman.

Just as the lotus flower grew on the body of the ancient cultivator and enveloped them, a fine and slender figure became visible through the lotus flower. It was the body of a woman.

All the present came to a sudden realization... it seemed this was the method the ancient cultivator had used to create their own way to immortality—giving birth to a new life.

The process was similar to giving birth to a baby. Their body would give birth to a new 'life', and the new 'life' in question was the cultivator itself.

After the 'new self' was born, it would inherit all the characteristics of the previous body, including knowledge, soul, cultivation level, and understandings. It was a perfectly identical copy.

In addition, the cultivator would become stronger after each rebirth.

It was a very peculiar and unique way to reach immortality.

But right at this time, Venerable White and the others got somewhat curious. Why had this powerful ancient cultivator left behind this 'video recording' in this world?

When she was discussing the Daoist Canon earlier, who was she explaining it to?

However, the members of Venerable White's team didn't have the time to ponder about these matters. At this time, their eyes were fixated on the ancient cultivator that was about to give birth to a new life. The process of the 'Immortal' demonstrating their own way to immortality was hundreds—no, thousands—of times more incredible than the speech earlier.

Even if they could comprehend the tiniest bit of the process, it would be an incredible gain.

Before their eyes, the lotus flower enwrapping the ancient cultivator finally opened, revealing a jade body of unsurpa.s.sed perfection inside. The jade body was simply perfect and didn't have a single flaw!

It was precisely her newborn self!

As for her old body, it had already merged with the huge lotus flower, disappearing.

The 'newborn self' stood up while inside the lotus. The leaves of the lotus turned into a daoist robe that wrapped around her body.

On the other hand, the seeds of the lotus turned into a daoist cap.

The lotus flower shrank, turning once again into a jade white lotus throne that floated beneath her feet, supporting her body.

”Today, I had another easy childbirth and managed to successfully give birth to myself. This time, I tried to give birth to myself a bit ahead of time. It was a great success, and the effects were even better than what I had thought,” the newborn 'Immortal' said with a smile while facing the void.

She had a very strong accent, but just as her speech back then, her words were automatically translated through the power of this world, allowing all the people that were listening to her to understand the meaning of her words.

When they saw the scene playing before their eyes, several members of Venerable White's team got a rather 'familiar' feeling from it. Was the new self of the Immortal shooting a video of herself?

They weren't wrong because she was really shooting a video of herself. When she was facing the void and talking, it felt as though she was talking to an imaginary audience.

From the looks of it, this ancient cultivator was shooting a video of herself since there was no such thing as a live streaming feature back in ancient times.

Such being the case, it was very likely that the whole scene they were seeing at this time had been recorded by her back then and left here.

”My current state is very good... perhaps the current me can deal with the upcoming battle?” The Immortal looked at the 'camera' and laughed.

Although she was laughing, one could easily tell from the video that even an 'Immortal' like her didn't have much confidence when it came to deal with the upcoming battle.

”I've escaped him for 300 years. But in the end, he still managed to find me. That man is truly persistent... well, it's not like I dislike persistent men, but if the opposite party is obsessed with chasing after you and killing you, I have a good reason to be worried!” she said.

”Aside from this... I'll try to record everything down before my death. After all, my job is precisely to record everything before my eyes... to record the 'real' history. If I really die one day, I'll record the scene of my death as well. After all, it's all a part of history.” The Immortal patted her daoist robe and straightened her slightly slanted daoist cap.

After that, the scene in the video became silent.

Thirty breaths later—but it should have pa.s.sed more time in the video—the originally bright scenery started to dim.

”He is here,” the female Immortal said softly.

The s.p.a.ce in front of her was torn apart by two jet-black hands.

Black-colored demonic qi covered his whole hands, pairs of blood-red eyes faintly visible amidst the demonic qi.

”I've finally found you, Cheng Lin.” The voice of the owner of the two black hands was full of hatred.

”Yes, it's me!” the Immortal called Cheng Lin replied softly. Her tone was very calm and not nervous in the least.

”Tell me, Cheng Lin. Why did you leak the information about the Heavenly City! Why did you betray us?” the owner of the two black hands said after suppressing his anger. He was like a volcano, ready to explode at any time.

”So that's how it was! You discovered that I leaked the information about the Heavenly City and thus decided to chase after me and kill me! And here I thought no one would discover me, hehe,” Immortal Cheng Lin said with a smile, looking incredibly charming.

The owner of the black hands came out of the crack in the s.p.a.ce and said, ”How can you be this calm? It's precisely because you leaked that information that the Heavenly City was destroyed overnight! You are a traitor that has committed an unforgivable crime.”

”Hehe, I obviously knew that the Heavenly City would be destroyed as a consequence. That's the very reason I leaked that information,” Immortal Cheng Lin said with a smile.

Just as she finished speaking, the owner of the two black hands instantly appeared next to Cheng Lin and used his strong arm to grab her throat.

Above the head of the owner of the two black hands was also a full moon-shaped halo. The halo was full with the principles of death and destruction—the opposite party was also an Immortal.

His build was very big, and after grabbing Cheng Lin's neck, he lifted her in midair. Still, Immortal Cheng Lin didn't revolt in the slightest.

The owner of the black hands clenched his teeth and said, ”Tell me. I want to know why you betrayed us!” His voice was like that of a wild beast roaring in a low voice.

”That's a secret!” Immortal Cheng Lin smiled sweetly. Then, she blinked her beautiful eyes while facing the owner of the black hands and said, ”In addition, the Heavenly City has already been destroyed. What's the point in telling you the reason? Do you want me to tell you the reason of my betrayal so that your pained heart can feel a little better?”

”You b*tch, just die!” The owner of the black hands lost his patience and tightly grabbed Cheng Lin's throat with one hand while using the other to grip her head, squeezing it with force.

In the next moment, just like something fragile getting squeezed with too much strength and breaking, the head of Immortal Cheng Lin exploded.

During the whole process, Immortal Cheng Lin didn't revolt in the slightest.

Although she was talking about dealing with the upcoming battle earlier, she didn't try to resist the owner of the black hands in the slightest when the time came. In the end, she was also an Immortal—an existence that surpa.s.sed Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders—and it was impossible that she didn't have the strength to oppose the opposite party even a little bit.

Just as the head of Immortal Cheng Lin exploded, the video before their eyes also came to a stop.

After that, everything returned to normality.
