Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

On the deck of the black flying boat that was rapidly flying towards the fourth level, Lu Jing's eyes reflected the endless waves of light covering the heaven and earth, and he exclaimed: "It turned out to be the "Heavenly Formless Heart Realm"!"

Ji Ning and Jiuchen's Dharmakāya looked at Lu Jing with shock in their eyes: "The Formless Heart Realm of the Heavens?"

Lu Jing nodded slightly: "This is a master-level mind power secret technique created by a master of another universe. After practicing it, you can build a 'great array of formless heavens' in the world of mind, making the world of mind return to formlessness, and being invincible in the contest of the world of mind.

"Moreover, the 'Great Formation of the Universe' can also condense into a number of formation incarnations, also known as 'heart realm incarnations'.

"This Pishen Temple Master has condensed eighteen incarnations of the Heart Realm, which means that she has already mastered the first level of the 'Heavenly Formless Heart Realm'."

Among the endless cultivation methods in the first hall of the Qinghua Cave Mansion, there is the "Heart Realm of the Heavens without Form", so Lu Jing recognized it.

"A master-level secret technique?" Ji Ning and Jiu Chen were both stunned.

Ji Ning's heart moved. He had obtained the complete inheritance of a sword master in the ancient domain of the Destruction Divine Court Universe, which included a master-level secret technique called "Spectral Sword Qi".

But he has no way to practice the "Spectral Sword Energy" now.

This is because the rare materials and items needed are so numerous and precious that they far exceed the items needed to practice the 'Nine Great Secret Arts' obtained from the Taoist Master of All Gods.

Even the Lord of the Holy City may not be able to collect them all. I am afraid that only the Overlord has the ability to gather all the necessary rare materials and items.

Jiuchen murmured, "There is actually a Dao Lord who can master the master-level secret technique? Let's not talk about whether the Dao he realized can be used to enter the door. Even if it can be used to enter the door, where can the rare treasures required for the master-level secret technique come from?"

He wanted to practice a life-saving secret skill of the Lord of the Holy City level, 'Water-Walking Immortal Body', which required precious materials and rare items that took a long time to gather, and was based on the support of an ancient cultivator emperor.

This also requires him to step into the fourth step of Dao Lord before he can start practicing.

The level of the master-level secret technique is far beyond the 'Water-walking Immortal Body' secret technique. Under normal circumstances, probably only the Lord of the Holy City has the capital to practice it, and it is good enough to reach the first level.

The ancient cultivators in the Yanlong Realm basically did not teach the master-level secret techniques to Daojun, and Jiuchen had only heard of the master-level secret techniques.

Lu Jing smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid this is the true strength of a peak Dao Lord who defies the heavens."

When it comes to the level of the Tao, as long as it is not the ultimate Tao, the gap between the fusion of the strongest Tao is not that big, no matter how strong it is, there is a limit to how strong it can be.

The top Taoist master in the Flame Dragon Realm is no worse than those in the Secret Demon Realm or other realms in terms of Taoism.

Therefore, the difference between the peak Taoist Lord and the most powerful peak Taoist Lord actually lies in the secret techniques and magic weapons.

Domination-level secret technique.

Treasure of the universe.

To master or possess any one of them can be considered as a miracle, and the strength can at least approach or reach the threshold of the Lord of the Holy City.

This is closely related to the prosperity of the cultivation world. The more prosperous the cultivation world is, the more likely it is to give birth to such a heaven-defying Taoist master.

Even the master may not be able to gather all the rare materials and items needed to practice the master-level secret arts. Even if he did, which master would invest these rare materials and items in the Dao Lord?

Even if the Taoist can rely on these rare materials to gain entry into the master-level secret arts, what use is it? If he cannot succeed in achieving the Dao, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

Therefore, even if it is the closest disciples and descendants, as long as they are not the Eternal Emperor, the Lord will generally not teach them the Lord-level secret techniques. It would be useless if he taught them, as they cannot be practiced and he does not have the resources to practice them.

Of course, there are master-level secret techniques that do not require many rare materials and objects to learn.

For example, the "Six Paths of Annihilation" that Supreme Ekong passed on to Lu Jing, although the second and third levels require a large number of rare materials and rare objects, the first level does not.

Another example is the "Heart Realm of All Heavens without Form" performed by the Lord of the Temple of Exorcism.

But such a master-level secret technique must have more stringent conditions in other aspects.

"Six Paths of Annihilation" requires at least the fusion of the strongest path of destruction to build the furnace of birth and death in order to get started. It was tailor-made by the Supreme Ekong for practitioners of "Shenyuan Sutra".

"The Formless Realm of the Heavens" requires extremely strong comprehension, and the initial integration of mental, divine and magical powers.

“Although the incarnations of the mind realm are theoretically immortal, they consume a lot of mental energy. Maintaining eighteen incarnations of the mind realm is enough to drain her mental energy in an instant.

"The Lord of the Pishen Temple should have some kind of rare item that can replenish her mental strength. I'm afraid she may not be able to use this master-level secret technique many times." Lu Jing deduced.

……

On a mountain peak, three figures looked into the distance.

King Geque and King Gujia of the Eternal Clan were both shocked. The eighteen giants that condensed out of thin air in the area where the Dongming Jade Talisman was born were all as powerful as them.

Moreover, they can be born and die at will and are not afraid of death.

"This... this Lord of the Pishen Temple has such great magical powers, doesn't it mean that every time a great treasure of the Hedao is born, she can get it first? Who can snatch it from her?" King Gujia felt a little unbelievable.

As the most powerful Dao Lords of the Eternal Clan in this era, King Gujia and King Geque both have enough confidence in themselves. Even the Wine Saint, who is recognized as the strongest Dao Lord in the Endless Territory, is not much stronger than them.

Naturally, they are not convinced by the Taoist Alliance’s latest ranking.

However, the battle triggered by the appearance of the first Dongming Jade Talisman was beyond their expectations.

"No wonder King Suma didn't let us fight for it. Did he have anticipated this?" King Gukya and King Goque both looked at the strange young man with a calm expression.

King Suma said calmly: "The master of the Pishen Temple is indeed very powerful, but it is an exaggeration to say that no one can snatch it from her every time a Hedao treasure is born.

“The fundamental reason is that the Dongming Jade Talisman is not the first target of many Dao Lords, and it is not worth fighting for.

“The Xiangbao Lingguo and Yunjie Cuilian are our real targets.

“However, the Lord of the Pishen Temple can only use this trick once. If she dares to use it again in the next realm, it will surely arouse public anger.

“No matter how mysterious the eighteen incarnations of the heart world are, they still rely on the projection of the heart world. We just need to break the projection of the world.

"The methods of a true Heaven-Defying Dao Lord are not comparable to those of the Dao Lords in your Flame Dragon Realm."

Although King Gujia and King Geque felt a little uncomfortable hearing King Suma belittling the Taoist Master of the Flame Dragon Realm, they still had to rely on King Suma to help in seizing the Dongming Jade Talisman.

Moreover, King Soma ranks third in the ranking of Taoist Lords, second only to the Lord of the Pishen Temple, and his strength is indeed greater than theirs.

King Geque looked gloomy: "There are only five Dongming Jade Talismans in total. The first one was obtained by the Lord of the Pishen Temple, so there are only four left."

The reason why the two of them obeyed King Suma in this Yi Bo Realm was not only because of the eternal divine blood given by King Suma, but more importantly, King Suma promised to do his best to fight for the Dongming Jade Talisman for them.

When they reached the eighth and ninth floors, King Gujia and King Goque cooperated with King Suma to fight for the Cloud Realm Emerald Silk and the Fragrant Treasure Fruit.

Even though King Goque and King Gujia had other ideas before, after seeing the battle just now, even without mentioning the incredible mental power secret technique of the Lord of the Pishen Temple, the power of the Sword Master 'Yanhun' and King Tianlun was far greater than theirs.

They are probably not qualified to compete for the Yunjie Cuilian and Xiangbao Lingguo.

There was a flash of disdain in King Soma's eyes. The great power displayed by the Lord of the Pishen Temple just now was enough to dispel the two Dao Lords of the Eternal Clan's Yanlong Realm branch's presumptuous thoughts and make them truly begin to obey him. It was worth it.

"It's not four, it's three." King Suma said calmly, "Let's go, wait until we reach the fifth level to fight for it."

"The fifth level? Are you going to give up the Dongming Jade Talisman of the fourth level too?" King Geque and King Gujia's expressions changed drastically.

King Suma sneered: "If you really want to fight for the fourth level Dongming Jade Talisman, you might as well give it a try."

……

The fourth level.

"The Hell Ghost God has reached the edge of the fifth realm, but the formation restriction that blocks the fifth realm has not yet been activated, so we have to stop. We will catch up soon!" Ji Ning's Dharma body on the deck of the flying boat was both excited and a little nervous.

Great Mo Daojun and Ji Ning himself were abducted together.

So even though Da Mo Daojun was guiding Yu Gui Shenjun under duress, he was also guiding Lu Jing through Ji Ning and Jiu Chen.

It enables Lu Jing and the other two to avoid the forbidden traps and catch up with the Hell Ghost God as quickly as possible.

……

In front of the fifth-level formation, the Ghost Lord suddenly looked startled, his green eyes shone with a chilling coldness: "They are about to catch up."

The tall and thin man in dark green armor laughed and said, "How could these Taoists have thought that their voice transmission in the Xuanting Cave Heaven could not be hidden from Your Highness."

The Hell Ghost Lord smiled disdainfully: "Xuanting Dongtian is a treasure refined by Master, which can shield cause and effect. Without my consent, their connection with the Dharma body will be cut off. After all, they are just natives of the Flame Dragon Realm and lack knowledge."

Among the Sixteen Realm Alliance, the Secret Demon Realm is the most prosperous, and it has frequent exchanges with the Dafeng Universe, almost becoming one with them.

Although there are only nine overlords on the surface, there are many overlords and emperors who travel to the Sixteen Realm Alliance. They basically stay in the Secret Demon Realm and leave traces and even inheritance in the Secret Demon Realm.

Compared with the relatively closed realm like the Flame Dragon Realm, the Secret Demon Realm has much more frequent exchanges with the powerful beings from other universes and other realms.

Many ordinary Dao Lords have access to news about other universes and other realms.

To Lord Hell Ghost, the Flame Dragon Realm was indeed a remote place. The most famous thing about it was that it was a battlefield during the ancient war.

"But the fish caught this time is quite interesting." Yugui Shenjun pondered, "Practitioners of the "Shenyuan Sutra" are not rare, but in such a remote domain, a Dao Lord who can build a furnace of birth and death by integrating the strongest Dao was born."

The tall and thin man congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Highness. After listening to the communication between these indigenous Dao Lords, it seems that the Dark Sea Dao Lord is only a third-step Dao Lord at the moment."

"Haha!" Hell Ghost Lord laughed, "It is indeed worth congratulating. If he had already reached the fourth step of Dao Lord, I really wouldn't be able to control him.

“As long as he is transformed into the Silver-robed Dao Lord, when he reaches the edge of the state of integration, his strength will definitely be comparable to that of a peak hall master, second only to the master.

“This time when I return, he will definitely help me win a position as a hall master, which will at least increase my chances of achieving the Dao!

“Even if we don’t consider what happens later, with his level of a three-step Taoist master and his transformation into a silver-robed Taoist master, he will be a great helper for me in my fight for the Xiangbao Lingguo and the Chibo Palace!”

Theoretically, after undergoing the self-sacrifice ritual to transform into the Silver-robed Taoist Lord, one would be able to possess power comparable to that of a palace master, but it also depended on the level of the realm. If the realm was not high enough, one would not be able to exert much strength.

Generally, only the Taoist who has mastered the strongest way of fusion and become the Silver-robed Taoist can possess the strength of a palace master.

However, this kind of peak Taoist Lord is the most elite member of all major forces even in the Secret Demon Realm, and his soul is extremely powerful, which is far beyond the control of the Hell Ghost Lord.

The strongest of the Silver-Clothed Taoist Lords under his command was only a transformation from a second-level Taoist Lord, and his strength was still far from the threshold of a palace master.

“Although Ming Hai is only a third-step Dao Lord, he has the Furnace of Life and Death, and his soul is probably not much worse than that of the most powerful Dao Lord. Moreover, if he dares to catch up with us, there might be other most powerful Dao Lords of Mangya Country hidden in his cave treasures. If we act rashly, he might escape.

"If we want to be absolutely sure, we still have to find a way to lure him into the Xuanting Cave Heaven... Hmm?"

The Hell Ghost God, who was thinking, focused his eyes, and a beam of light shot up into the sky in the distance.

The second Dongming Jade Talisman was born.

The restriction of the sealing formation that blocked him from entering the fifth level also dissipated in an instant.

“Haha, let’s lure him into the trap first.” The Hell Ghost God ignored the Dongming Jade Talisman that came out of the fourth realm and drove the wooden shuttle into the fifth realm.
