Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

The Palace of Life and Death, the ancient pagoda forest.

"Boom~~~"

A loud noise shook the entire ancient tower forest.

Dozens of practitioners in the ancient pagoda forest stood up and looked at the source of the vibration in shock. Then they heard a loud rumbling sound, the ground cracked, and the spire slowly emerged from the ground.

"A new ancient tower?"

"Another person has been recognized by Guta!"

"Has a new God been born in my Palace of Life and Death?"

In this era, there are only seven people in the world realm recognized by the ancient tower in the Palace of Life and Death. Because they practiced the "Shenyuan Sutra", they were called the Seven Great Gods.

"Is it the Dark Sea?!"

"That special life that just entered the Palace of Life and Death?"

"It is said that he defeated Betale on Star Island..."

"I thought Betale decided to leave Star Island, so he took the initiative to admit defeat."

"Yeah, isn't it said that Betale has created three of the most powerful ways that can be combined with each other? Who can defeat Betale? Even Dong Xiu from the Sword Palace may not be able to do so."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Minghai."

"Junior Brother Minghai, congratulations."

Lu Jing looked at the newly appeared ancient tower that belonged to him in the distance, and faced the congratulations from his fellow disciples with a calm expression, not taking it seriously.

There is an ancient pagoda forest in each of the twelve palaces of Mangya Kingdom. As long as you can create a stronger way, you can basically gain the recognition of the ancient pagoda.

Lu Jing has already mastered the most powerful way of destruction and has set up a furnace of birth and death. Under the cycle of birth and death, the power of the Tao is no less than the strongest way of fusion.

He had just displayed a little bit of the mystery of Taoism and was immediately recognized by the ancient tower.

Lu Jing was dealing with the congratulations from his fellow disciples when he suddenly saw a figure in white appear at the edge of the ancient pagoda forest.

"Senior Brother Cang Yu." Lu Jing was stunned.

The figure in white was none other than Cang Yu Dao Jun, the Palace Master of Shengmie Palace. Lu Jing had already joined Shengmie Palace, so he addressed him as senior brother.

"Follow me." Daoist Lord Cang Yu said in a voice transmission.

……

Inside a secret chamber in the ancient tower forest.

Lu Jing and Taoist Cang Yu sat opposite each other.

"Ming Hai, I decided to conceal your strength because of the battle on Jue Ya Star that will be held soon. I hope you won't mind, Junior Brother."

Lu Jing chuckled and said, "Jueya Star not only has the Miro Purple Jade Fruit, but also the fourth volume of the Shenyuan Sutra. This is also for my own sake. Why should I care about a little bit of fame?"

More than 20 years later, the Miro Purple Jade Tree on the Jueya Star, the fifth ancestral land of the Eternal Clan, is about to bear fruit. The Shengmie Palace and the Eternal Clan are competing for this fruit on Jueya Star.

So at the request of Taoist Master Cang Yu, Lord Mangya gave an order that Lu Jing's strength must not be revealed before then.

In fact, the only ones who actually watched the battle between Lu Jing and Betale were the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master of the Twelve Palaces. Other Dao Lords and World Realms could not spy on it.

As long as the top leaders of the Twelve Palaces and Betale himself don’t say it, no one will know Lu Jing’s true strength. They don’t know that after Daojun Dongxiu and Betale, Mangya country has given birth to a third person whose strength is comparable to that of the person who has mastered the strongest way of fusion and has reached the world-defying realm.

"Are the Eternal Clan's World Realm very strong?" Lu Jing asked curiously, "I heard from Senior Brother Xinghui before that not all descendants of the Eternal Clan participated in the battle of Jueya Star. Just like our Mangya Country, only the descendants of the Eternal Clan who practiced the "Shenyuan Sutra" would participate in the fight for the Miro Purple Jade Fruit."

It is naturally impossible for the Palace of Life and Death to compete with the Eternal Clan with the power of only one palace.

So in fact, those who competed with the Shengmie Palace for the Miro Purple Jade Fruit every time were only the descendants of the Eternal Clan who practiced the "Shenyuan Sutra".

Daoist Lord Cang Yu sighed, “In the past, we often had the upper hand. After all, the practitioners of my Twelve Palaces were all geniuses that the Great Lord had plundered from all over the Endless Territory.

“Not only are there very few true members of the Eternal Clan, but there are also not many descendants.

“But in recent years, two incredible monsters have been born among the descendants of the Eternal Clan.

"One is Wu He, the descendant of Emperor Anchen, the supreme leader of the Eternal Clan. In fact, the lineage of Emperor Anchen is the basic inheritor of the Divine Abyss Sutra in the Eternal Clan.

"Although Wu He did not build the furnace of birth and death when practicing the Divine Abyss Sutra, he realized the two most powerful ways of destruction. He is a monster that can compete with Tian Mu."

Lu Jing frowned slightly. The Tianmu that Taoist Cang Yu mentioned should be the Divine Lord Tianmu, who was the strongest among the seven Divine Lords in the Shengmie Palace who were recognized by the ancient pagoda in this era before he entered the Shengmie Palace.

Daoist Lord Cang Yu smiled and said, “Tian Mu, like you, has realized the Way of Space Destruction, but in addition to that, he has also mastered the Way of Thunder Destruction, and has realized a total of two of the most powerful ways.

"However, although he has realized the two most powerful ways, he has not been able to perfectly combine them. Naturally, his strength is far inferior to that of Daojun Dongxiu and Betale."

Lu Jing nodded secretly. Just because he had realized two or more of the most powerful ways, it didn't mean they could be combined with each other.

For example, Prince Qing Huan, the strongest world-level person in the Space-Time Palace, has realized the two most powerful ways, but they are unable to combine them.

Although his strength has definitely improved after he realized the second and third most powerful ways, as long as he cannot combine them perfectly, he will never be a match for Lu Jing, Betale and Dong Xiu.

The gap between mastering one of the strongest ways and mastering the integration of the strongest ways is huge and extremely difficult to cross.

From here we can also see that the "Shenyuan Sutra" of the Birth and Death Palace is indeed powerful enough to directly cross the distance with the help of the Birth and Death Furnace.

It can be called reaching the sky in one step.

Of course, the price is also a life-threatening one.

For example, Lord Tianmu, who had mastered the two most powerful ways of destruction, had obviously given up practicing the 'Furnace of Life and Death'.

Daoist Lord Cang Yu sighed, “But in the last battle on Jue Ya Star, Wu He suddenly broke through in the battle with Tian Mu, and perfectly combined the two strongest ways, causing my Sheng Mie Palace to be defeated.

"After the war, Tian Mu was also stimulated and left Mangya Country to look for an opportunity for a breakthrough.

“There was no news after that. Tianmu didn’t have a second soul, which was why he didn’t choose to build the Birth and Death Furnace. It was too dangerous to build the Birth and Death Furnace with the strongest method. It was a life-or-death struggle.

"We don't know whether he is alive or dead. He may have fallen, or he may be trapped in some dangerous place isolated from the outside world."

Lu Jing couldn't help but remain silent. He had known before that there were a total of eight gods recognized by the ancient tower, including him, in the Palace of Life and Death, but in fact there were only four still in the Palace of Life and Death.

Several other gods, including God Tianmu, left Mangya Kingdom in search of opportunities.

If you realize a stronger way, even if you take the 'Purple Jade Divine Pill' you will only have a 50% chance of being able to practice the 'Life and Death Furnace'. If you want to increase your chances of success you will need to find some precious treasures to assist.

Therefore, most of the world-level geniuses who have realized a stronger way in the Shengmie Palace will leave Mangya Country to look for precious treasures that can increase the success rate of practicing the Shengmie Furnace.

Those who are still staying in Mangya Kingdom have either already set up the Furnace of Birth and Death, or have no intention of practicing the Furnace of Birth and Death and concentrate on the path of destruction.

Daoist Lord Cang Yu shook his head slightly: "After Tian Mu left, the strongest world-level cultivator in my Sheng Mie Palace is now 'Divine Lord Chi Xiao'.

“Although he only realized a stronger way, he successfully set up the furnace of birth and death, and his strength is comparable to that of a world-level expert who has mastered the strongest way.

“In terms of strength, he can be ranked in the top ten among the twelve zodiac signs, but he is still far behind ‘Uh’ who has achieved the strongest fusion.

"What's more, the Eternal Clan has given birth to an even more evil descendant."

Daoist Lord Cang Yu showed an expression of amazement: "His name is 'Gu Tu', and he is also a descendant of the Eternal Clan who practices the 'Shen Yuan Sutra' of Emperor An Chen. He originally only mastered one of the most powerful ways.

“This Gu Tu had been cultivating and wandering outside the Eternal Kingdom. Unexpectedly, more than 4,000 years ago, he suddenly returned to the Eternal Kingdom, and his strength increased greatly.

"Not only did he open up the world of the heart and become a practitioner of heart power, he also successfully set up the furnace of birth and death. The power of the Tao is comparable to the strongest Tao of fusion. I'm afraid his strength is even higher than that of 'Uh'."

More than four thousand years ago?

Lu Jing was stunned. Wasn’t that before he was abducted to Mangya Kingdom?

"Such luck is really..." Daoist Lord Cang Yu glanced at Lu Jing with eyes full of amazement.

Some people, in order to set up the Furnace of Life and Death, traveled through endless territories, but either gained nothing and gave up practicing the Furnace of Life and Death, or lost track of their life or death, or even died.

But like this Nether Sea, and that 'Gu Tu' of the Eternal Clan, they actually ascended to heaven without any danger in one step.

What kind of luck is this?

Of course, Daojun Cangyu himself also used the most powerful method to build the Furnace of Life and Death. In the past, he also traveled through endless territories and survived many dangers to find a treasure that could increase the success rate. He succeeded in building the Furnace of Life and Death after many dangerous attempts.

But before him and after him, most of the geniuses in the Palace of Life and Death who had realized the most powerful way ultimately failed to successfully set up the Life and Death Furnace.

It was a good outcome for Lord Tianmu to decisively give up practicing the Furnace of Life and Death and realize the second most powerful way.

“Among the descendants of the Eternal Clan, there has only been one person who has mastered the strongest way of fusion and reached the Heaven-Defying World Realm, who can be compared with Betale and Dong Xiu.

“But the one who is in the Heaven-Defying World Realm is not cultivating the Divine Abyss Sutra.

“I didn’t expect that in such a short period of time, two world realms comparable to the strongest fusion realms emerged from the descendants of the Eternal Clan.

"If it weren't for you, the number of geniuses in the Eternal Kingdom who are in the world of heaven would have surpassed that of my Mangya Kingdom, and would be second only to the Taoist Alliance." Taoist Master Cangyu sighed.

Daoist Lord Cang Yu looked at Lu Jing and said seriously, "In fact, the one who poses the greatest threat to you is Gu Tu. He is a practitioner of mental strength and as a descendant of the Eternal Clan, he can comprehend the fourth volume of the Shen Yuan Sutra at any time.

“The fourth volume of the Shenyuan Sutra contains the mystery of the combination of mental power and the way of life and death. As long as you understand it, even if you cannot achieve a perfect combination of mental power, divine power and magic power, your combat power will be greatly improved.

"In terms of combat power, Gutu should be better than Betale."

"But you have an immortal body. Neither Wuhe nor Gutu can do anything to you. I'm afraid the Eternal Clan will be disappointed at this meeting on Jueya Star."

Daoist Lord Cang Yu smiled and said, “Before you go to Jue Ya Star this time, you might as well comprehend more about the inheritance of Daoist Lord Yu Chang’s heart and soul. With your heart and soul, you have great hope of obtaining the complete inheritance of the fourth volume of the Shen Yuan Sutra.

"This secret pavilion can maintain a hundred times of time acceleration. If you consume a lot of divine power, it can even be increased to a thousand times. You can practice here before going to Jueya Star."
