Perfect World: Dream Back to the Ancient Immortal World
Page 141
Fifty thousand years passed slowly, and Wang Heng had already thoroughly comprehended the immortal formation books in his hands and became an absolute formation master. In fact, his skills in arranging formations were not much weaker than his combat power.
The sixth life, fifty thousand years have passed, and the traces of the passing of time can be clearly seen on Wang Heng’s body. His hair is all white, but his spiritual power has not shown any sign of decline, and is still extremely vigorous, like a huge furnace.
If it were in previous lives, he would not have been able to last this long.
Wang Heng came out of seclusion and began to travel the world. He had the ability to set up a heaven-defying formation, and the next step was to find the center of the formation.
In order to build a magic array that can help him open his seventh life, the center of the array must be the most top-notch place of fortune, one in a million. Otherwise, it will not be able to withstand the horrific consumption.
To this end, he specially found an ancient world with a relatively good natural environment, and used the nine sources of good fortune within the territory of this world as the core of the formation, and arranged a heaven-defying formation that shocked the world and made ghosts weep.
As soon as the formation was completed, the fortune of the entire world rushed to the center of the formation, with vital energy surging, and rosy clouds and auspicious colors interweaving. This scene was too astonishing.
Wang Heng was convinced that even if he threw a pig into the center of the magic circle, it would be blessed, its aptitude would be transformed, and it would grow into a super powerful being.
After doing all this, he sat cross-legged on the spot, silently waiting for the deadline to come.
There were originally enlightened people in this world, but they were killed by Wang Heng with a single sword, so no one would come to disturb or destroy it.
After sitting in meditation for tens of thousands of years, Wang Heng finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He came to the center of the magic circle and condensed his soul into a divine fetus according to the method he had deduced countless times, and accepted the blessing of the nine great places of creation.
Eventually, he succeeded, walked out of the divine womb, shed his old body, and returned to his golden years.
The seventh generation!
Wang Heng became even more powerful, his aura was as deep as the ocean, unfathomable. In a trance, he seemed to hear the rushing sound of the long river of time.
“Without the elixir of immortality, I have come to this point.” Wang Heng was quite emotional.
Originally, he planned to save the elixir of immortality for use when absolutely necessary, but before he knew it, he had lived to his seventh life without taking the elixir of immortality.
And the most crucial thing is that in the eighth life, which can be regarded as the ultimate shackles, Wang Heng has no intention of taking the elixir of immortality.
If nothing unexpected happens, when he begins his eighth life, he will be able to live without aging and no longer have to worry about dying of old age in the Dharma Ending Age.
In this most crucial life, Wang Heng plans to create his own scripture.
Ever since the Chaos-Suppressing Technique underwent a mutation in him and the form of the Dao was extended, this supreme sword technique has moved in a new direction. It is no longer just the sword embryo of the soul and the sword energy, but it encompasses all aspects of the Dao of the soul.
However, Wang Heng has never created corresponding scriptures and lacks a program.
If this shortcoming can be made up, it will be a huge improvement for Wang Heng.

Chapter 165: Eternal Scripture
So, how do we create a peerless ancient scripture?
Logically speaking, the scriptures created by Wang Heng at his current level are far from comparable to the ancient scriptures in the realm of Immortal King, and can hardly be called unparalleled.
But the scripture he wanted to create was very special. It was an extension and addition to the Secret of Quelling Rebellion.
What is the “Quelling Rebellion Art”? It is an unparalleled method known as one of the three great sword arts of ancient and modern times. Even the Immortal King is eager for it. If one develops and explores on the basis of this ancient scripture, the results will be unimaginable.
However, to add new scriptures to the Dharma at this level and introduce it into a completely new world is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It would be fine if Wang Heng was an Immortal King, as he would be qualified to create the supreme scripture. But currently he is just a creature in the human realm who has lived for seven lifetimes. His combat power is totally not on the same level as that of an Immortal King.
Therefore, the road ahead is arduous and full of difficulties. Even if the corresponding great road form has been obtained, the hope of successful development is still slim.
That day, Wang Heng couldn’t sleep all night. He was thinking about what to do next.
Should he try to open up an ancient scripture that is equivalent to the Outline of the Great Dao in the seventh life, or should he give up for the time being and look for other ways to impact the eighth life, and then consider opening up the ancient scripture after he has attained the status of Immortal King.
As for the former, if he fails, he can only take the elixir of immortality to start his eighth life. The price is incompleteness and a slight lack of transformation. But if he succeeds, not only will the transformation be complete, but he will also gain a perfect ancient scripture of his own, and his strength will have a qualitative leap. He may even be able to break through the shackles of the light curtain of the last days of the universe and become a true immortal in the mortal world.
The latter does not have such risks. Wang Heng has gone very far on the road to immortality. He knows exactly what method will enable him to survive into the next life. The life span of the seventh life is so long that he has plenty of time to prepare.
Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how Wang Heng chooses.
After a sleepless night, Wang Heng finally chose the former.
Something dawned on him.
For a person who aspires to be the strongest, as soon as such a multiple-choice question appears, he has no choice but to choose the former.
If you are afraid and choose the second path, you will regret it later. If you take the first path, there will be no regrets if you fail, because at least you tried.
Wang Heng had a hunch that if he continued his transformation normally, even without any flaws, he would find it difficult to break through the light curtain.
Unable to become a true immortal in this era, it is hard to predict whether good or bad luck will come to him when he returns. You must know that at the Peach Festival, Ao Sheng and others had already shown their murderous intentions towards him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
On their way to Tongtian Land, they encountered an Immortal King blocking their way. After Wang Heng and Hei Wang left Wuzhong’s clone, they had just burned the Immortal King’s blood and escaped when a big hand slapped them. They narrowly avoided it. Afterwards, Hei Wang guessed that it was not an enemy like Wuzhong, which meant that it was most likely an Immortal King from Ao Sheng’s faction who took action.
Without caring about the face of the Immortal King, they repeatedly targeted a weak creature in the human realm and wanted to put it to death. This was enough to show how determined these Immortal Kings were to kill him.
Without the ability to protect himself, he has to rely on the protection of the backstage every time. He may escape once, he may escape twice, but he cannot escape everything. Something will happen one day.
Therefore, Wang Heng decisively gave up the second option, fought a desperate battle, and was determined to create his own perfect scripture. Now is not the time to hesitate, but the time to forge ahead bravely.
He picked out all the scriptures on the way of the soul that he had collected since he came to this era, placed them on the stone table and studied them one by one.
No matter how strong or weak, no matter how deep or shallow, he read it very carefully and did not miss any part.
With every sentence he read, Wang Heng tried to figure out the state of mind and talent conveyed by the creator of the scripture through the text. This perspective benefited him a lot.
After studying a scripture, his mind will be turned upside down. He will use his powerful spiritual power to replay the entire process of others’ creation of the scripture and continuously accumulate experience.
As time went by, Wang Heng became more and more proficient in creating scriptures. He could easily create a mysterious ancient scripture. If it were passed on to the outside world, it would be enough to make a Taoist sect flourish for tens or even millions of years.
At the same time, his understanding of the way of the soul became increasingly profound. Often, seemingly simple and primitive scriptures could give him infinite enlightenment and spark brilliant wisdom.
When a person strides forward on a road, makes great progress courageously, and stands at a dazzling peak, he suddenly looks back and begins to realize the truth from the most basic and original mysteries. The imagined sense of gap does not appear. Instead, he sees a different scenery and has a new understanding of the road he has traveled.
This is exactly what Wang Heng did. He spent a full 50,000 years studying the scriptures related to the way of the soul. Except for the Immortal King Sutra, he successfully replicated the process of the creation of other scriptures.
At this moment, Wang Heng is definitely a master of this art. He has absorbed countless ancient scriptures, covering every aspect of the way of the soul.
The time seemed ripe for opening up the scriptures.
Wang Heng did not hesitate, took out the second spiritual root in the world and told the whole story.
“You want to make a breakthrough based on a supreme scripture and deduce your own law?” The second spiritual root in the heavens was shocked, and its subconscious told it that doing so would be courting death.
“Well, I have been preparing for this for 50,000 years. Now it is about to begin. Please help me.” Wang Heng nodded and asked sincerely.
The three flowers of the Great Dao that grew from the second spiritual root in the universe are extraordinary. They have an indescribable aura of the Great Dao that may be able to help him on his path.
“Well, you saved me from dying, which is one cause and effect. You protected me for many years, which is another cause and effect. The former should happen in the future, and the latter should happen now.
But I want to remind you that your chances of success are slim. In fact, the word “successful” is a bit exaggerated. It is simply impossible because your realm is too low.
Even if you succeed by chance in the end, the disaster you bring will be enough to kill you, and there is no chance of survival.” The Second Spiritual Root in the Universe warned.
It is very extraordinary, and the fact that it ranks second among all the spiritual roots in the heavens is enough to prove this point. After it came back to life and returned to the peak, it has been able to sense many secrets of the world through the three flowers of the Great Dao, so almost everything it says comes true.
This is the result of being struck by the will of heaven in the Dharma-Ending Age. If it were in an era with favorable environment of heaven and earth, the second spiritual root in the heavens would be even more powerful.
Just like the ancient tea of enlightenment, the tea produced when it is complete is useful even for the Immortal King to drink.
“I have no choice. I must break through the shackles that lie across the sky.” Wang Heng said with a sigh.
“Okay, I understand.” Seeing that Wang Heng had made up his mind, the Second Spiritual Root in the Universe stopped persuading him. It would be abnormal for a genius of his level not to challenge those seemingly impossible things, at least that was the view of the Second Spiritual Root in the Universe.
Throughout the ages, countless lives that amazed the world have died prematurely, all because they did not believe in fate and were too obsessed with the idea that they could overcome everything.
Afterwards, the flower of the Avenue that represented the divine body turned into a stream of light and flew down. In mid-air, it transformed into a little man, somersaulted, and landed steadily under the tree.
Wang Heng stepped forward and came directly in front of the little man. The next moment, the little man sank into Wang Heng’s soul and merged into one with it.
At this moment, Wang Heng had the illusion that he had turned into the way of heaven. All the ways of heaven turned into tangible objects and appeared before his eyes.
He finally understood how incredible the second spiritual root in the universe was. There were so many ancient worlds, as vast as the sea and smoke, but this ancient tree could rank second among all the innate spiritual roots.
There is a certain reason why the powerful people in later generations chose this ancient tree to sell fake medicine.
Wang Heng calmed down a little, and with the help of the Flower of the Great Dao, he showed the accumulation and harvest of fifty thousand years.
One after another, ancient scriptures flew out from his soul body and turned into starlight surrounding him. There were so many of them, as endless as the stars. This accumulation made even the second spiritual root in the heavens astonished.
“Buzz!”
Stars transformed from scriptures gathered around Wang Heng like a pile of firewood, and were ignited with a “puff”.
The raging fire enveloped Wang Heng’s body and began to burn.
The divine form of the Dao representing the Pacification Technique slowly emerged. Unlike the black arm, this sword embryo possessed corresponding Dao scriptures. It was a supreme method and one of the three supreme sword techniques of ancient and modern times.
At this moment, Wang Heng used his primordial spirit as a furnace and billions of scriptures as fire, trying to refine the “Calming Down the Rebellion” technique.
If he wants to recast it, he must first refine the sword. He must first melt the sword embryo, and then combine it with his own great way and divine form to create a completely new method.
The most difficult part of this process is the first step – sword refining.
This is a supreme method that even the Immortal King cannot advance any further. It can be said to be the ultimate of the way of the spirit. It is simply a foolish dream for a human creature to refine it.
But Wang Heng did it anyway.
The blazing flames were the accumulation of countless civilizations from all the heavens and worlds. When they piled together and burned, the scene was astonishing.
As powerful as Wang Heng was, he lived for seven lifetimes, but under the burning of the flames, his soul body began to crack.
Fortunately, the soul cave continuously flows with essence, ensuring that Wang Heng’s soul can remain immortal.
Just like that, flames shot up into the sky, burning Wang Heng and also attacking the Yuanshen Sword Embryo technique from Wang Gen.
Time flies. Ten thousand years have passed. Wang Heng’s soul is full of cracks, like an over-fired pottery that may break with the slightest touch.
The flames created by the Sutra were still continuing, but the sword embryo in his body was still indestructible. After ten thousand years of burning, only the thin layer on the surface of the sword embryo was melted, and a thin black mist rose up. Apart from that, there was no other achievement.
Wang Heng remained silent and continued to maintain this state.
Seeing this, the second most spiritual root in the universe sighed slightly. If Wang Heng was an Immortal King, it would not be so difficult to melt this sword embryo.
As the founder, Wang Weng could easily disintegrate the sword embryo and decompose it into the most basic scriptures. However, Wang Weng could not allow this sword technique to extend into a new great way and divine form. Otherwise, he would have broken through the current realm and reached a completely new field long ago.
The second ten thousand years passed. Wang Heng was already seventy thousand years old in this life, but he was still in his prime, with no signs of decline.
During these ten thousand years, a thin layer of the black sword embryo was melted, and the black mist wrapped around the surface became slightly thicker, but compared to the heavy body of the sword embryo, this was insignificant.
