Chapter 819: 415, Fate Deduction, Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor's Ruthlessness, Huangquan Emperor's Scheme (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
However, from the minds of these Old Gods, Xu Xing learned a piece of information: in the Nether Sea within the Cold Frost Immortal World, there slept an Ancient God named Emperor Huangquan.
Ancient Gods differed from Old Gods. They were divine spirits who had survived multiple collapses of the Heavenly Court; each one was exceedingly powerful, a paragon among True Immortals.
In the year 45,617 of the Tiande era, Xu Xing went to the Nether Sea to search for Emperor Huangquan, this Ancient God.
However, no matter how Xu Xing searched, Emperor Huangquan seemed to have vanished from the Nether Sea, as if he no longer existed within it.
But just as Xu Xing was about to give up, Emperor Huangquan took the initiative to appear and invite Xu Xing to his Cave Mansion for a visit.
Although unsure if Emperor Huangquan was benevolent or malevolent, Xu Xing still agreed.
Emperor Huangquan was almost the only immortal he could find who possibly knew the method to condense Tribulation Fruit in advance.
After their conversation, Emperor Huangquan promised Xu Xing to teach him the method of condensing Tribulation Fruit in advance. The condition was that if Xu Xing perished during his Tribulation Crossing, he must unconditionally gift his posthumous Dao Body to him.
To this, Xu Xing naturally had no objections.
Seeing Xu Xing accept the condition, Emperor Huangquan, an Ancient God, began to teach him the agreed-upon method for condensing Tribulation Fruit in advance.
To condense a Tribulation Fruit, one needed to pass 10,000 tribulations, each lasting 30,000 years.
The method Emperor Huangquan taught Xu Xing involved using Reincarnation artifacts, investing his split souls into them to undergo tribulations. The more souls he split, the shorter the time required to condense the Tribulation Fruit.
He taught Xu Xing a Reincarnation method called Eternal Primordial Body.
Eternal Primordial Body could ensure that Xu Xing always maintained absolute control over his split souls during the Reincarnation tribulations, preventing the split souls from developing their own consciousness and betraying the primary soul.
Furthermore, Eternal Primordial Body was also a method to integrate the tribulations experienced by the split souls into the primary soul.
In the year 47,132 of the Tiande era, Xu Xing began practicing the Eternal Primordial Body method. With the help of the Six Harmonies Jade Cicada, a Reincarnation artifact, he split his souls and sent them to the Lower Realm to undergo tribulations and gain experience.
With the strength of Xu Xing's Divine Soul, he could split off a maximum of six souls to undergo tribulations.
This meant the 300,000,000 years normally required to condense a Tribulation Fruit could be compressed to 50,000,000 years for Xu Xing.
「Time passed.」
In the blink of an eye, 50,000,000 years passed.
Xu Xing retrieved his six split souls and began using Eternal Primordial Body to merge the tribulations of the primary soul and the split souls.
The process went smoothly. Thirty thousand years later, Xu Xing successfully condensed the Tribulation Fruit, one of the True Immortal Dao Fruits.
Then, Xu Xing used the Void One True Water within the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup to fuse his Luck Fruit and Tribulation Fruit, attempting to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
「Forty thousand years passed.」
Xu Xing's two True Immortal Dao Fruits slowly began to merge.
At this time, 200,000,000 years still remained before the Ancient Heavenly Court's revival—a very long time.
「Ten million years passed.」
Xu Xing's Tribulation Fruit and Luck Fruit finally fused successfully, and he stepped into the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
After reaching this realm, Xu Xing spent 1,000,000 years consolidating his Cultivation, then dispatched an avatar to investigate the forbidden area within the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court—Nine Marsh Springs.
Unexpectedly, everything in Nine Marsh Springs was open to Xu Xing, and the Heavenly Venerate Immortal suspected to be the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor was not inside…
In Nine Marsh Springs, Xu Xing accidentally discovered a Golden Book and Jade Scrolls, upon which a cosmic secret was recorded.
It stated: Every 10,000 epochs, an apocalypse would occur in heaven and earth. This would cause heaven and earth to be reshaped and all living things re-formed. Only True Immortals could remain undying; all others would perish.
And after 100,000 epochs, heaven and earth would be completely annihilated. Only then could a Great Heaven Venerate create a new world, re-establish the Dao, and save all immortals from dire straits.
「Time passed.」
Two hundred million years passed.
The Ancient Heavenly Court began to revive. The Old Gods of the Nine Great Immortal Realms started making pilgrimages to the ruins of the Heavenly Court to pay homage to the Immortal Emperor.
Meanwhile, the Changming Immortal Court, where Xu Xing resided, also received an invitation from the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor.
Over ten years later, Xu Xing, holding the invitation, went to the Ancient Heavenly Court to pay his respects to the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor invited Xu Xing to join the Ancient Heavenly Court, promising him the position of Great Emperor, second only to himself.
The price, however, was to hand over the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup, a great treasure of the Heavenly Court.
Since Xu Xing had already reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm, the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup held no other use for him, so he readily accepted and agreed to join the Ancient Heavenly Court.
The Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor was overjoyed. He conferred upon Xu Xing the title of Emperor Chang Ming, making him the ruler of the Cold Frost Immortal World, a venerated master of a realm.
Tens of thousands of years passed. The Ancient Heavenly Court was completely revived, and the Nine Great Immortal Realms returned to Heavenly Court rule. All deities were ranked and paid homage to the Immortal Emperor.
Heaven and earth thrived, until another 10,000 epochs had passed.
The world-ending catastrophe appeared.
The Great Dao of heaven and earth collapsed. All gods, immortals, and everyone below the True Immortal Realm perished one by one, their Dao dissipating.
However, there were exceptions. The spirits of deities enfeoffed by the Heavenly Court hid their Divine Souls within their god seals, awaiting the cataclysm's end to re-emerge.
Xu Xing had thought that with his Heavenly Venerate Cultivation, he could safely pass through the great catastrophe.
Unexpectedly, while he was in seclusion, the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor suddenly broke in. Holding an axe, he directly split Xu Xing's Heavenly Venerate Dao Fruit in two, then devoured both halves before fleeing.
Only then did Xu Xing realize that the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor was the Heavenly Venerate Immortal who had been hiding in Nine Marsh Springs.
After Xu Xing's death, his Dao Body was collected by Emperor Huangquan and refined into an external incarnation.
「Time passed.」
「Tens of thousands of years later,」 the last trace of spiritual consciousness remaining in Xu Xing's Dao Body dissipated. Xu Xing truly perished, his Dao extinguished.
「The scene ended here.」
"Emperor Huangquan…"
"Eternal Primordial Body…"
"Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup…"
Upon reviewing this Fate Deduction, Xu Xing's expression turned somewhat grim.
He hadn't expected that in this Fate Deduction, he would have already achieved the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
But in the end, he had still been outmaneuvered by the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor and Emperor Huangquan.
Logically, with my Heavenly Venerate Dao Fruit, even if I'm not a match for the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor, I shouldn't have been unable to withstand even a single blow.
If killing me were truly that easy, the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor wouldn't have hidden his tracks in Nine Marsh Springs, nor would he have enfeoffed me as Emperor Chang Ming after the Heavenly Court's revival…
Xu Xing began to analyze the information revealed.
He quickly arrived at three conclusions.
First, Emperor Huangquan's gift of the Eternal Primordial Body was likely not well-intentioned; it might contain hidden flaws. It was precisely because of these flaws that, in the Fate Deduction, he was so easily killed by the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor.
Second, before the Heavenly Court's revival, the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor's strength had likely not recovered to its peak and was extremely diminished.
Otherwise, upon seeing me arrive at Nine Marsh Springs, he wouldn't have fled so quickly, leaving behind only a Golden Book and Jade Scrolls that revealed a great cosmic secret.
Third, there must be a deeper reason for the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor demanding the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup. It was possible that he had not yet fully uncovered the secrets of the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup.
Chiming Venerated Immortal was merely a True Immortal; it's unlikely he could have snatched the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup from the hands of the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor…
So how did Chiming Venerated Immortal obtain this Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup? And why did it specifically end up in his hands?
Xu Xing pondered deeply.
A moment later, a guess formed in his mind: the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup was likely related to the Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth. The Immortal Emperor, after the Heavenly Court's revival, could take the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup…
But the Immortal Emperor, before the Heavenly Court's revival, could not take the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup; it was an untouchable object for him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have just watched as the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup, an artifact capable of creating a Heavenly Venerate Realm expert, fell into someone else's hands.
That makes sense.
Chiming Venerated Immortal obtained the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup by a stroke of fortune. Because the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor couldn't touch the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup, and yet worried that Chiming Venerated Immortal would use this item to ascend to the Heavenly Venerate Realm…
So he began to secretly incite the Chiming Immortal Empress and the Nine Great Immortal Kings under Chiming Venerated Immortal's command to betray their master…
Glimpsing a part, Xu Xing quickly deduced the connections.
However, I am different. In Reality… I don't need the Eternal Primordial Body Reincarnation method. With the Kunlun Mirror, I can directly fuse with my other selves!
Xu Xing's eyes flickered.
At this moment, he had finally found an opportunity to defeat the Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor.
