Mortal bone

"The way of heaven will be damaged if there is a lack of time. Not only the techniques and exercises practiced by monks, but all the things born in the world must follow this principle."

"The human race is naturally no exception."

Emperor Xuanhuang lowered his voice and explained to Xu Taiping.

"So mortal bones are what the human race lacks..."

Xu Taiping was stunned.

After being awakened by the Emperor Xuanhuang, he suddenly understood why there was a line of words engraved on the spiritual bone tablet - mortal bones have no destiny for immortality.

"The two clans of Luanfeng and Zhenlong who once ran rampant in ancient times were envied by the Dao of Heaven because their bloodlines were too strong, and they were completely extinct in ancient times."

Emperor Xuanhuang said again.

"The two clans of Luanfeng and Zhenlong are actually extinct because of this?"

When Xu Taiping heard this, he was shocked again.

He once heard Fairy Lingyue casually mention that Luanfeng and True Dragon were strangled by Human Daxiu together after the Spirit Bone Monument came into the world because of their brutal rule over the human race.

And at that time, the human race used the treasures they took from the Luan, Phoenix and True Dragon races to open up a territory outside the sky and build that magnificent heavenly court.

And this heavenly court has also become a symbol of the most prosperous period of the human race.

But now Emperor Xuanhuang said that the extinction of the real dragon and the real phoenix had nothing to do with the human race, which made it difficult for Xu Taiping to accept for a while.

"Xu Taiping, what you can understand right now is just the appearance. Don't worry, everything will be clear after you ascend to the upper realm."

Emperor Xuanhuang seemed to see what Xu Taiping was thinking, and immediately shook his head and smiled.

Obviously, there are some things that he, as a person from the upper realm, cannot explain clearly.

"Thank you, Great Emperor, for clarifying the confusion."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then confirmed to Emperor Xuanhuang with some confusion: "So according to what you said, mortal bones are flawed things bred by the heavens, so even if you practice this kind of kung fu method of transforming the spirit of the nether world , and won’t be envied by Heaven?”

"Right now, the old man can only tell you that there is a possibility, but there is no guarantee that you will not be backlashed by the heavens in the end." Emperor Xuanhuang shook his head.

"It's just possible?" Xu Taiping frowned.

In his opinion, a character like Emperor Xuanhuang shouldn't give such ambiguous answers.

As the one with the most powerful soul and mind among the five emperors, Xu Taiping frowned, and Emperor Xuanhuang had guessed the confusion in his heart.

"Although there are precedents of mortal bone cultivation in ancient times, most of them can't go far. Few of them can ascend, and most of them eventually become famous generals."

"At least in my memory, there is no mortal monk who has come to this point like you today."

"So the old man can't promise you."

Emperor Xuanhuang replied very seriously.

"I see." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Xu Taiping, come and try!"

Emperor Xuanhuang suddenly looked at Xu Taiping excitedly again, his eyes were as hot as that cook seeing the top-quality ingredients.

"My lord, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Taiping looked confused.

He had heard from Gu Qingcheng and others that Emperor Xuanhuang had a weird personality and was paranoid, and he often did some deviant behaviors.

So when he saw Emperor Xuanhuang looking at him with such eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Xu Taiping, ever since I discovered that you climbed to the thirteenth floor of my Xuanhuang Pagoda with a mortal bone, this old man has an idea in his heart. After seeing you forcibly resisting the eight soul seals in the book of life and death, this old man is even more determined. .”

Emperor Xuanhuang smiled mysteriously at Xu Taiping.

"Your Majesty, speak directly."

Inexplicably, Xu Taiping felt a little ominous in his heart.

"You yourself bear the supreme yang power of the three schools of Buddha, Taoism, and martial arts. After being imprinted with the soul imprinted by the demon seed on the book of life and death, you also possess the two supreme yin powers of ghosts and demons."

"Plus you are a mortal who is incomplete."

"So the old man was thinking, if you were to use mortal bones as the foundation, and combine the powers of the five schools of Taoism, Taoism, martial arts, ghosts, and demons alone, what kind of magnificent scene will it be when you break through the realm and ascend?"

"How should the Tao of Heaven, which is formless but ubiquitous, react?"

The more Emperor Xuanhuang talked, the more excited he became.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't laugh or cry, secretly said:

"So that's why you are willing to help me, Great Emperor."

It has long been heard that Emperor Xuanhuang would often act deviantly, but Xu Taiping never expected that he would be so crazy.

Just because of an idea in his mind, he decided to teach himself the "Ovening Furnace Dao Body" and the unique sword-making technique.

"So, my lord, the body forging method of "Ovening Furnace Dao Body" you taught me, and the sword-forging swordsmanship, are the keys to integrate the power of these five schools?"

Xu Taiping seriously asked Emperor Xuanhuang for advice.

No matter what the purpose of Emperor Xuanhuang is, at least for him at the moment, if he wants to restrain the backlash of life and death and continue to practice, this is the only way.

"No, there is one thing missing."

Emperor Xuanhuang raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of madness and he shook his head.

"What... what?"

The look in Emperor Xuanhuang's eyes at this moment made Xu Taiping feel extremely penetrating.

"Even if you successfully break through the Transformation Realm, under normal circumstances, if you want to forge the Eight Immortal Swords, you need at least your cultivation to reach the Shocking Realm."

"But you, who bear the eight soul seals of the book of life and death, obviously won't last until then."

"But if you have the golden flame of the sun transformed by my true spirit in your body, you will be able to cast a sword immediately after breaking through the sky-watching state, so as to share part of the backlash from the soul seal."

Emperor Xuanhuang explained to Xu Taiping with his eyes burning.

"But your true spirit, my lord, if you can't return to the upper realm, won't your real body in the upper realm suffer heavy damage?"

Xu Taiping's heart trembled.

"It's just losing half of your cultivation, it's nothing!"

Emperor Xuanhuang said with a look of indifference.

"Half of the cultivation base of a celestial being..."

A thin layer of sweat oozed from Xu Taiping's forehead.

"Xu Taiping, you don't understand, you still don't understand!"

At this moment, the true spirit of Emperor Xuanhuang stood up suddenly, he first looked up at the sky, then turned his head to look at Xu Taiping, and said excitedly:

"Fighting against the sky is a joy!"

When he said this, he suddenly stretched out a finger, and pointed it between Xu Taiping's eyebrows with a "bang".

Immediately, there was a "boom", and the golden flames of the sun covering Emperor Xuanhuang's body suddenly penetrated from the center of Xu Taiping's eyebrows like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the body of Emperor Xuanhuang's true spirit suddenly turned into a phantom.

"Xu Taiping, please put away the golden flame of the great sun first, it should be your thank you to the sky on behalf of the old man."

The Emperor Xuanhuang who had turned into a phantom grinned, followed his eyes and looked out of the window again and said: "That fellow Youyun once gave you a rain in Youyuntian, today, the old man will use the last bit of immortal power of this true spirit , give you a big wind!"

After saying this, under Xu Taiping's astonished gaze, the phantom transformed by Emperor Xuanhuang's true spirit suddenly turned into a gust of wind.
