Perfect World: Dream Back to the Ancient Immortal World
Page 142
He still didn’t stop and continued to refine the sword.
Time passed slowly, and eighty thousand years passed in a flash. Wang Heng was already 150,000 years old in this life. His hair had turned gray, his essence had declined, and his soul was no longer as energetic, and was heading towards exhaustion.
Time is too ruthless and never gives people the chance to regret. Wang Heng entered his twilight years, but he had only completed less than one-tenth of his sword-refining. Even the flames that had been cultivated for billions of years were no longer bright, and fell along with Wang Heng’s condition.
As the fire power decreased, the originally melted parts even showed a tendency to recover.
“It’s over. It’s still too much of a stretch. Your accumulation has reached the limit. Failure is a sin of realm.” The second spiritual root in the heavens sighed. It had sensed Wang Heng’s current state through the flower of the avenue. It could be said that the situation was hopeless.
The only solution now is to swallow the elixir of immortality and start the eighth life, because his time is up and the seventh life is about to come to an end.
In this Dharma-Ending Age, it is truly unimaginable to live for more than 150,000 years in one lifetime. During such a long period of time, the world must have experienced countless cycles of prosperity and decline.
What was unexpected was that Wang Heng himself was surprisingly calm, as if the ten thousand years of trying to draw water with a bamboo basket had not made him feel desperate.
The second most powerful spirit in the universe noticed his mentality and his eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be that this creature still had a backup plan?
Then it saw that Wang Heng cast his gaze towards his own soul cave, and the second spiritual root in the heavens couldn’t help but choke.
“Stop it, you still have the elixir of immortality, you can live smoothly in the next life, there is no need to risk your life for something illusory.
That cave is the foundation of your life. You can reach this point today with your soul body, and the soul cave is indispensable. If it is destroyed, you may decline and die with regret. “The second spiritual root in the world realized Wang Heng’s crazy idea and immediately advised him.
No wonder the most talented people usually die quickly, either they are committing suicide or on their way to death.
Wang Heng did not respond, completely immersed in his own world.
“Without the foundation of life, how can you walk in the world? I’m afraid you can only live in this Taoist flower from now on.
But without your protection, if I am captured by others, I will not be able to protect your safety. “The second spiritual root in the world shook his head and sighed, as if he had seen Wang Heng’s miserable end.
At this time, Wang Heng suddenly lowered his head, looked at the second spiritual root in the heavens, smiled slightly and said.
“If you are willing to give up, you will gain.”
After saying this, he sacrificed his own soul cave without hesitation, mobilizing the infinite soul power within it, which poured out instantly.
“boom!”
The flames exploded, and the temperature rose to an extremely terrifying level in an instant, melting everything.
A horrifying scene appeared. Wang Heng’s true soul was burned into nothingness, annihilated bit by bit, and disappeared in the flames. The soul’s cave also cracked, releasing infinite divine power, making the flames even more intense.
The second spiritual root in the universe was stunned, and his heart sank. He thought to himself, this is the end. He originally wanted to sacrifice only the soul and the cave heaven, but ended up sacrificing his real body as well.
However, there is also vitality and change in despair.
Wang Heng’s “sacrifice” made the scripture flame much stronger. The soul cave was so extraordinary that the flame that rose from it melted the sword embryo of the Pacification Technique into black mist, which was swirling there.
The “sword refining” was completed in a very short time. Afterwards, the sound of scriptures filled the air and came from the Yuanshen Cave Heaven which was already in ruins. There, the divine form of Wang Heng appeared, and a black arm rushed out and sank into the black fog.
The next moment, the terrifying scripture flames disappeared, and were replaced by layers of Tao cocoons, which wrapped the arm and the black mist, and finally condensed into a ball.
Everything calmed down, there was no more noise, only the sound of a very powerful scripture flowed in the heart of the second spiritual root in the heavens. It was very vague, and a little difficult to hear clearly, but just by hearing the sound, one could feel that the soul was constantly growing stronger.
It listened attentively, trying to understand the content of the passage, and vaguely seemed to hear three words.
“The Eternal Scripture.”
I can’t make up for it today because I went skiing during the day and the ski resort just opened. I couldn’t resist. I will definitely make up for it tomorrow.
Chapter 166 Time Will Not Add to Your Life
“The Eternal Scripture?”
The Second Spiritual Root in the Universe was a little surprised. Just hearing the name of this scripture made one’s heart tremble. Named “Eternity”, does he want his soul to reach the realm of eternal immortality?
The sound of scriptures is still being heard, the breath of Tao is pervasive, and an immortal light is blooming.
Wang Heng is still alive and not dead. The second spiritual root in the universe sensed this from the mark in the Tao flower.
He was dormant in the Tao cocoon and wandering in the Eternal Scripture. This was his own supreme ancient scripture, which was most suitable for him and was born for him.
“boom!”
The aura of the Dao spread from the void, and the cruel rules of the Dao turned into chains, impacting the cocoon of the Dao.
In this life, Wang Heng’s life span has come to an end.
However, all the rules of the Dao were blocked outside the Dao cocoon, blocked by the immortal light, and could not get close.
The decay of Wang Heng’s body from the inside out was also dissolved by the Eternal Sutra and was suppressed.
With the sound of the supreme scriptures, Wang Heng turned from decline to prosperity, regained his golden years, and walked step by step from old age to youth.
Later, his black hair fell like a waterfall, his body was majestic, his hunched back had straightened, the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, his skin was crystal clear, his eyes were like lightning, deep and mysterious, and he had an indescribable temperament.
“boom!”
The rules of the Dao of Transformation dissipated on their own, as if they knew they could not take away the life force of this creature.
“Live the eighth life.”
The second most powerful spiritual root in the universe couldn’t help but hold his breath.
This achievement is already incredible. Looking back over the long years, how many living beings can survive eight lifetimes in the Dharma-Ending Age?
Moreover, Wang Heng has not taken the elixir of immortality.
He traveled through the heavens and found that almost all the enlightened people relied on the elixir of immortality to live a second life.
Those who achieve enlightenment by using this method to start their second life will also undergo a transformation and their spiritual attainments will be enhanced.
However, there is still a subtle difference between directly using the immortality substance contained in the elixir to start the next life and relying on various methods to force one’s body to give birth to the substances needed to live out the next life.
Wang Heng’s eight lives were undoubtedly perfect. He experienced a total of seven transformations from death to rebirth. Each time, the essence of immortality was born. It was a process of extreme change.
“Buzz!”
At the moment when the rules of the Dao receded like the tide, the black Dao cocoon began to vibrate, and then, light shone everywhere, and an eternal breath burst out.
The Dao cocoon cracked, and Wang Heng appeared, standing on the fragments of the Dao cocoon. He was full of vigor and vitality, like a young man in his golden years. At the same time, he was unfathomable and majestic, with eternal brilliance all over his body, like an immortal god.
The second most powerful spiritual root in the universe was a little dazed, impressed by Wang Heng’s unparalleled grace.
“Has the Yuanshen Cave Heaven really disappeared? How are you going to stand between heaven and earth in the future?” it asked with a sigh.
If it had encountered the same situation as before, it would definitely not have the courage to give up everything. You must know that the Yuanshen Cave is Wang Heng’s reliance for cultivating his Yuanshen. It is the source of his immortal Yuanshen. It is of great significance. Once it is damaged, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wang Heng nodded.
“Well, the Soul Cave Heaven is a thing of the past.
If my body is eternal, why do I need a cave outside my body to protect me from eternal damnation? All great powers belong to oneself, this is the true path to invincibility. “
He told them that the Eternal Sutra had been initially completed, and relying on the power of his primordial spirit body, he could walk in the human world and would not weaken inexplicably.
Moreover, compared to the past when he had to activate his soul to unleash his full combat power, now he can deliver a powerful blow just by raising his hands or feet, which is undoubtedly a huge boost to his combat power.
As he said, all great power belongs to oneself.
After listening to Wang Heng’s words, the second spiritual root in the heavens seemed to be thinking about something. It felt that this creature was very special and might be able to reach the peak. Even the light curtain above the end of the heavens could not stop him.
After achieving great success, Wang Heng stood in the realm of the eighth world, which was even more incompatible with the cruel and desolate Dharma Ending Age. He could feel that he had reached the point of immortality.
From now on, he no longer has to worry about dying of old age in the long river of time, as he possesses the characteristics that only immortal creatures possess.
The divine form of the Eternal Sutra also has an additional shoulder on the basis of a sword and an arm.
From now on, the sword energy of his soul that he swung out would be sharper and more powerful.
“Crash!”
Wang Heng heard this sound in his ears, and it seemed as if a river was rushing through the darkness.
He keenly captured some amazing information from the long river of time.
When your strength reaches a certain level, it is only a matter of time before you see the long river of time.
In the eighth life, Wang Heng no longer has the urgency of the scythe of time hanging around his neck. Instead, he feels the pressure from the ancient era of immortals. He wants to break through the shackles of the last days of the universe and become a true immortal in this cruel era.
He sat cross-legged silently in the void, watching the changes of the world and the ups and downs of the long river of time. Along the banks of this vast river, one strong man after another stopped and stood by the river, either tracing back to the ancient history or overlooking the past.
Some people caught a glimpse of his figure in ancient times, and nodded to him across the ages. Some people looked into this era from the future, sensed Wang Heng’s existence, and stepped towards this piece of ancient history with murderous intent. As a result, the power of cause and effect isolated everything, and fog rose above the long river, blocking the terrifying creature.
Seeing this, Wang Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was a great power of cause and effect in the world that restrained these powerful creatures and prevented them from doing anything out of line. Otherwise, the entire ancient history would be messed up and everything would cease to exist.
Time passed, and five hundred thousand years had passed since Wang Heng created the Eternal Sutra and lived his eighth life.
This was an unimaginably long period of time, during which Wang Heng had been sitting cross-legged there, practicing and developing the Eternal Sutra. At the same time, he was accumulating strength in preparation for the final leap.
At this moment, he no longer looked young. His temples were gray, his hair was as white as snow, and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked like an ordinary old man entering his old age.
This is the mark left by the years. Although it cannot take away his life, it will leave a mark. This is why many true immortals and immortal kings appear old.
If they care a lot about this, they will use various means to keep themselves young and always be young.
Wang Heng ignored it and aged naturally. At the same time, Wang Heng’s spiritual power was a little worse than its peak period. Immortality does not mean invincibility. However, there are certain limitations. He was only a little weaker than his peak, and then he completely stayed there and would not change anymore.
“In the eighth life, you can be immortal, but you are not truly immune to the passage of time.” Wang Heng sighed.
If time truly does not take its toll on him, then under natural conditions he will never grow old or weak, and the power of time will not be able to leave any mark on him.
His current appearance and figure have become old, and his condition is not as good as it was in his peak period. This only shows that he has not really reached that level yet and needs to transform again.
This time, Wang Heng chose the method of the Eternal Dream. This method has appeared in every stage of the ancient history. Whether it is the ancient era of immortals or this ancient era, there are corresponding records.
To become an immortal in the mortal world is to fight for survival in the mortal world, and the eternal dream is to let the cultivators seek the fruit of the Tao in the mortal world.
He sealed up the things on his body in a place, came to an ancient place, lay on his back in a large formation that had been set up long ago, closed his eyes slightly, and murmured the scriptures corresponding to the Eternal Dream.
This was the first time he fell asleep after traveling here. The long-lost feeling made him feel dazed, as if he had returned to the mortal era before he traveled through time. Not long after, the sound of the scriptures took effect, and Wang Heng felt sleepy, so he quickly fell asleep, as if he wanted to make up for the sleep he had missed for more than one million years.
Afterwards, the sound of scriptures corresponding to the Eternal Great Dream drowned out the place, and everything became unclear.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the sleeping Wang Heng suddenly sat up, his eyes were hazy, and he felt like he was half asleep.
Then, one figure after another walked out from him, they were all himself, there were tens of thousands of them, and each figure obtained a physical body and went to different ancient worlds.
Some transformed themselves into mortal soldiers and fought bravely on the battlefield, fighting for more than twenty years before dying under the cold sword.
Some became civilians, married and had children, worked from sunrise to sunset, until they turned into graves, standing quietly on the fields they had cultivated for a lifetime.
Some of them turned into mortal emperors, ruling the world and terrifying the whole world. Wherever their swords went, all the land became their king. After their death, they were called saints.
Some become monks, some are geniuses, some are losers, struggling to survive in this Dharma Ending Age.
