Perfect World: Dream Back to the Ancient Immortal World

Page 137

“boom!”

The purple light was blazing, and a small opening appeared, gradually enlarging and turning into a cave, with torrents of purple air flowing out.

Wang Heng revived and woke up from his deep sleep.

This time, he used a ray of primordial purple light that was born when the world was first created to transform his soul, and he was resurrected and lived out his third life. To some extent, it was equivalent to the primordial purple light of the primitive ancient world, and involved the secrets of the origin of heaven and earth, but it was manifested in a different form.

Back to the peak, Wang Heng took a deep breath and felt alive again.

From darkness to light, from death to rebirth, this feeling brings joy from the bottom of one’s heart.

Wang Hengli was in the place of rebirth, and his entire soul body underwent a transformation from the inside out, becoming even more powerful and his potential was further enhanced.

He walked out of this place, came to the outside world, and looked down on this era.

The birth of the Tianxin Seal has made the world of the Dharma Ending Age even more cruel. Bloody competitions have taken place in one great age after another, all just for the chance to merge the seals, to become the ultimate supreme being, to suppress all others with one move.

It takes tens of thousands of years to create a living being; others can only run along, be suppressed, and fade away in the long river of time.

This is equivalent to the ancient emperor in the era of Shrouding the Heavens.

Long before Wang Heng went into seclusion, a supreme being had already been born in the world he lived in. After he integrated the Seal of the Heart of Heaven, he was the only one who respected the world.

His Dao mark suppressed all races, and he alone enjoyed the luck of the entire world.

When Wang Heng came out of retreat, the vibrations he emitted were sensed by this supreme being. He stepped out from the starry sky and came in front of Wang Heng.

After realizing Wang Heng’s strength, this creature was greatly shocked. He thought he was at the top of the world, respected by all races and invincible in the world. Who would have thought that there was such a terrifying existence.

“The road to a friendly and powerful one.”

He spoke with fear in his eyes, because he could not see through the creature in front of him who was only a spirit.

Wang Heng smiled slightly. Now he was living his third life, stronger than before in every aspect.

Even in his first life, he was stronger than this creature, let alone the third life.

The two of them talked and the tense atmosphere in the air was dispelled.

Upon learning that Wang Heng traveled through the heavens and was an ascetic monk seeking immortality, this creature showed admiration in his eyes.

In this Dharma-Ending Age, it is not easy to travel from one world to another. You will be rejected, under great pressure, and unable to move forward.

However, Wang Heng has traveled through countless realms and witnessed countless brilliant civilizations. This experience makes the Supreme Master feel inferior to him and he can’t help but marvel at it.

“I was looking at the world from a narrow perspective. It turns out that this world is so vast and so wonderful.” The Supreme Master sighed.

Finally, Wang Heng passed on his experience of living for several lifetimes to this creature, and then left this world.

The journey of the third life began. He was like an ascetic, struggling to survive in this world.

Time is merciless. Wang Heng’s golden years have gradually gone downhill. His spiritual body has gone from being tall and strong to being hunched. He has experienced this twice. This is the third time. It seems like a reincarnation again and again, like the leaves, withering and then flourishing, over and over again.

He did not stop until he could no longer hold on. Then he found a place, dug out a cave, and sat cross-legged in it.

This time, Wang Heng neither looked for a heaven-defying trend nor used any special substances. He had already taken these two paths. If he continued to use them, the possibility of failure would be very high. Since it was related to his own destiny, he naturally did not dare to be careless.

Wang Heng did not set up any magic array around the cave, just letting nature take its course.

He simply lit ten oil lamps where he sat cross-legged.

The flames rose straight up, emitting an eerie light, giving people an eerie feeling.

This is a method that Wang Heng comprehended from the Yuanshen system. He made a bet with the heavens, with ten oil lamps corresponding to the three souls and seven spirits of the human body. If in the end, all ten lamps went out, Wang Heng would die immediately. If one of the ten oil lamps did not go out, Wang Heng would live into his fourth life.

Each of the ten oil lamps is not simple. They contain a part of Wang Heng’s spiritual essence. They were refined during the golden age. The refining interval of each oil lamp is thousands of years, and they are used to restore the spiritual power.

It took tens of thousands of years before all ten oil lamps were refined.

Fortunately, Wang Heng had plenty of time and was able to complete the refining before the deadline.

At this moment, he lit ten oil lamps that determined life and death, and then chanted scriptures. Every word he uttered would condense into a physical entity in the void.

A sacred scripture appeared around Wang Heng, and then he waited silently.

A few days later, a strong wind suddenly blew in the originally calm cave. In the corner, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere in human form and walked towards the first oil lamp.

“puff!”

The flame in the oil lamp suddenly exploded, igniting the human-shaped black shadow and burning it, causing it to scream in agony and unable to help but retreat repeatedly.

But soon, the human-shaped black shadow came forward again and tried to extinguish the oil lamp.

At this time, Wang Heng had already entered a state of nirvana. He had no breath, and his soul was filled with death.

In a sense, he had already passed away, but there were still ten oil lamps keeping him alive, so he was not completely dead.

Soon, the cave was shrouded in black fog, and countless figures pounced on the oil lamp. The black shadows kept screaming and burned to ashes.

But they were not afraid of life and death and continued to rush forward one after another, like moths to a flame. Under the continuous consumption, the first oil lamp became dimmer and dimmer, and finally went out with a “puff”.

The next moment, the black shadow disappeared and was replaced by something else, attacking the second oil lamp.

……

Half a month passed, and the cave was now dark. The sacred scriptures had long been exhausted, and only the last of the ten oil lamps was still there. The other nine were all extinguished without exception.

The last one was also in danger. Endless strange visions appeared and suppressed it with a majestic force, causing the soul fire on the oil lamp to explode from time to time, and it swayed and flickered, as if it would go out in the next second.

As the saying goes, when a person dies, it is like the extinguishing of a lamp. As long as this last oil lamp falls into darkness, Wang Heng will die completely and be buried in this distant ancient time, never to be able to return to the future.

All the hardships he had endured in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years would be in vain.

However, once the bet began, Wang Heng could no longer control it. His consciousness had been extinguished and he was trapped in the deepest darkness, waiting for the soul fire on the oil lamp to rekindle him.

“boom!”

Thousands of strange visions emerged, including a sky full of golden lotuses, an ancient and heavy blue sky, and a scene where an immortal king died and blood flowed like a waterfall…

There were too many of them, all terrifying, and they piled up one after another, pressing down on the flame in the last oil lamp, causing it to tremble violently and about to go out.

At the last moment, the soul fire rebounded, and an arm holding a sword embryo slowly rose up. The sword energy was rampant, the killing light was emitting, and the turmoil in the eight wildernesses was quelled.

One after another, the extraordinary visions were destroyed by the sword embryo, exploded, and turned into the rules of the great way and disappeared.

The power of this spell is so strong that it can kill the strange phenomena as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. However, the number of the strange phenomena is too large, as if endless, and the power of the strange phenomena becomes stronger as time goes by.

Gradually, the sword embryo became exhausted, but this was the last line of defense, and falling would mean eternal damnation.

The powerful arm kept waving, and it did not stop even when the sword cut the edge of the scroll.

After three days and three nights, the vision finally disappeared.

In the dark and deep cave, there was only a flame so small that it was almost invisible and trembling, emitting an extremely faint light.

It gives people the feeling that it can be blown away by the breeze.

But in fact it is more resilient than imagined, and has tenaciously survived the overwhelming impact of strange phenomena.

Not long after, the flame went out with a bang, and the entire cave fell into eternal darkness and silence.

At this moment, two glowing eyes slowly opened, and an extremely powerful wave spread from them.

Wang Heng woke up. His old body solidified and then cracked. Light burst out, and a new and powerful soul walked out of the old body and stood on the shattered old shell.

The fourth generation!

Relying on the gambling method of ten lamps, he won a half-step victory over the heavens, survived the desperate situation and lived out his fourth life.

At this moment, Wang Heng felt stronger than ever before and had overcome a difficult hurdle.

He realized the tremendous power of the fourth world, and his heart was enlightened, and he saw the hope of immortality in the last days of the Dharma.

If you live like this life after life, sooner or later you will be immortal and become an immortal in this world.

Wang Heng walked out of the cave and did not continue forward. Instead, he began to return and walk through the world he had walked through that year.

Along the way, he saw many supreme beings ruling the universe. They integrated the Heavenly Heart Seal and became the most powerful people in the universe. Each one of them was amazing.

With the fortune and luck of heaven and earth gathered in one person, it is hard for this creature not to be powerful. Generally speaking, he is much more powerful than the Supreme Being before the coming of the Dharma Ending Age.

If these creatures were given a chance to go to the world and era with true immortals and immortal kings, Wang Heng was sure that they would have no problem becoming immortals, and some of them might even be able to become immortal kings.

Of course, where there is prosperity there is also darkness; light and darkness always coexist.

Forbidden areas appeared in some universes. There were very few of them. After all, there was not much time to accumulate. They developed alternative methods of longevity and began to devour all living beings.

Wang Heng could understand their actions. When the end of time comes and the crisis of death approaches, people can do anything.

However, this does not mean that he would just stand by and watch. He had pacified many forbidden areas long before he set foot on the immortal road of the mortal world.

The forbidden area at that time was established by the Supreme whose lifespan had run out. Compared with the forbidden area established by the current Supreme, there is a world of difference in strength. But to Wang Heng, who has lived in his fourth life, they are the same and can be easily pushed aside with one hand.

He walked very fast, and would easily destroy such dark forbidden areas when he encountered them.

As Wang Heng passed through more and more ancient realms, his sense of loneliness became stronger and stronger. He passed through dozens or even hundreds of ancient realms without seeing a single old friend.

Time is too cruel and has taken away too much. Just as the curse says, no matter how great your achievements are, no matter how stunning your life may be, in the end, it will all be in vain.

Looking at the familiar names engraved on the cold tombstones, Wang Heng couldn’t help but sigh.

He remained expressionless throughout the rest of the journey, feeling the passage of time and the changes in the world.

It was not until he arrived in a familiar world that his expression changed slightly.

The next moment, Wang Heng arrived in a magnificent imperial palace. Inside, he met an old friend. He had been gone for more than 50,000 years, but this creature was still alive.

On the chaotic stone bed, a white-haired old man opened his eyes and looked at the creature in front of him in surprise.

“After more than 50,000 years of not seeing you, you’re still so young.” The old man smiled bitterly.

“Fellow Daoist has lived through his third life.” Wang Heng said.

“This is all thanks to the precious experience that my fellow Taoist gave me back then. I relied on the elixir of immortality to live out my second life, and then I succeeded in my third life by chance. My life span increased significantly, and I am still alive today.

Otherwise, what you are looking at right now is just a tombstone.” The old man responded gratefully.

“I just gave you a few directions. Everything depends on you.” Wang Heng shook his head.

He stayed and reminisced with the few old friends of that era.

The third life of this creature has come to an end. He said that he is preparing for the fourth life. Although he is well prepared, he has a bad feeling that the fourth life may become a luxury.

“You will succeed. I hope you can live to the fourth life. In this world of mortals, I will not be alone.” Wang Heng blessed.

Then he said goodbye to his old friends and set off again.

Time flies, and Wang Heng’s fourth life gradually came to an end. During this period, he never saw any old friends again.
