Cheng Ling's dantian was unsealed, sucking in the immortal energy around him like a whale, forming a whirlpool of immortal energy that continued to spread far away.
The remnant soul and Xiaobai finally came to their senses. Xiaobai whimpered twice, and the damage to his body quickly recovered. He raised his hooves and threw himself between Cheng Ling and Chu Tian, trying to protect them.
Remnant Soul's expression changed drastically. Cheng Ling's cultivation level improved very quickly. Coupled with the treasures he had seen thrown out before, he suddenly became coveted. He glanced at Xiaobai coldly, flicked his fingers with both hands, and fired a series of sharp blows. Killed by the wind.
But before those finger winds could approach, the whirlpool of fairy energy suddenly expanded its coverage area, covering Xiao Bai as well.
"Bang bang bang..."
Dozens of fingers were struck by the wind, and disappeared in an instant without any effect.
"Impossible! Who is this kid? He has such great abilities? We can't wait any longer. We must devour Chu Tian's soul as soon as possible and restore it to its peak state in one fell swoop." Remnant Soul made a decision immediately, and Cheng Ling's performance gave her a great impression. Big crisis.
After about an hour, the rotation speed of the whirlpool of immortal energy gradually slowed down. The remnant soul opened its eyes and scanned it. She ignored it and continued to devour Chu Tian's soul. Her aura also gradually increased, surpassing the immortal, and came to The realm of the Immortal Emperor.
Just as it was climbing at an extremely fast speed, a figure slowly walked out of the whirlpool of fairy energy. The old man who started out as an old man gradually walked out of the whirlpool following his footsteps. His body gradually became taller and straighter, and the wrinkles on his face , slowly disappeared, and finally stood a hundred meters in front of Chu Tian.
The thick clothes he was originally wearing were torn into pieces, revealing half of his naked body. His muscles were stretched and his lines were perfect. This was not an old man in his twilight years, but a strong young man in his twenties or thirties.
A trace of mysterious artistic conception emanated from him, and Cheng Ling felt that his body seemed to be floating, gradually appearing outside his body. It seems as if there is a magical power sprouting in his body and constantly spreading out to the surroundings.
He has already entered the threshold of the Immortal Emperor. After sixty years of transformation and ten supreme artistic conceptions, he has completely broken through the shackles of heaven. With just one thought, he can be promoted to the Immortal Emperor. But he still stopped. Although his dantian was unsealed, the space in his body had not yet been restored. The combat power he could currently exert was less than 50% of what he was at his peak.
"The peak of Tianzun...boy, I underestimate you." Remnant woke up in horror and stared at Cheng Ling and said.
Cheng Ling said coldly: "Leaving Chu Tian's body may give you a way to live."
"Dream!" Remnant Soul said angrily: "Just a mere Heavenly Lord, I don't take this in my eyes. There is no grudge between you and me. Those who know how to do it will leave here. If you ruin my good deeds, I will show no mercy!"
Cheng Ling smiled casually and said, "That's the case, then there's nothing to say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a flick of his right hand, the Dragon Ling Sword came into his palm and stabbed towards the remnant soul!
"How brave!" Remnant Soul was furious. He grabbed his hands and blocked all of Cheng Ling's fast swords with a clanging sound. But she doesn't feel comfortable either. It's the critical moment of swallowing. If there are any complications, it won't be completely swallowed. In serious cases, the soul will be damaged and the realm will fall.
For a moment, both claws were stretched out, but they were only protecting in front of him and not attacking.
Cheng Ling also stopped, his mind racing. This round of fast sword was already very reluctant. After all, his cultivation had just recovered, and his tendons and Dantian had not yet adapted. The other party is also an Immortal Emperor after all. Even if he can fight against the enemy across realms, he will not get much benefit from a head-on confrontation. He desperately tried to think of a way to deal with it, but the opponent was just a body with a remnant soul, and the best thing to use was the Taoist intention of the other side. Unfortunately, the power of the netherworld has been almost exhausted, and the space in the body has just been unsealed, so he does not dare to extract it at all, so this rule is directly ruled out.
Then the only thing left is thunder spells.
Thunder has a powerful restraining effect on the soul!
With a certain determination in his mind, he stretched out both fingers of his right hand upwards and silently recited "Great Thunder Technique". Then, with a click, a thunderbolt as thick as an adult's arm struck down from the sky.
The remnant soul was startled and quickly retreated. Lightning struck her remnant instantly, and a deep pit was blasted out of the ground.
"Great Thunder Technique? What is your relationship with Yan Leizi?"
Cheng Ling did not answer, but looked at her coldly and said, "Leave Chu Tian's body immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless!"
After saying that, he clicked again with two fingers, and another thunder struck down.
The remnant soul screamed and transformed into dozens of afterimages in succession. The real body had already retreated a hundred meters away. She secretly complained in her heart that 70% of her energy was devouring Chu Tian's soul, and only 30% was left to fight against the enemy, which she originally thought was enough.
But I didn't expect that the kid in front of me could actually master the thunder technique, and he had reached the realm of Zixiao Divine Thunder. This is no joke, as long as you hit one, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.
She hurriedly stopped her and said: "My fellow Taoist, please stay here. It's not that I don't want to leave. It's just that my soul has been completely integrated with this woman. Once separated, the pain of separation of souls, even if I can bear it, is the owner of the body." His soul will be broken and he will die."
Cheng Ling paused with his right hand, but did not put it away. Instead, he looked at Remnant coldly, as if to distinguish whether what she said was true or false.
Canhun was secretly happy in his heart and hurriedly added: "Now we are both prosperous and devastated. Why don't you, fellow Taoist, become a beautiful man? This emperor will surely repay you in the future."
Cheng Ling was silent. He really didn't have a way to separate his soul. Even if he did, he had suffered the pain of separation back then, and he was afraid that Chu Tian wouldn't be able to bear it. But he couldn't help but watch Chu Tian being swallowed up by the other party, and he was unwilling to do so.
He then said: "I have a way. If you can leave voluntarily, I can provide you with treasures to reshape your body, such as fairy flowers and nine-leaf lotus. You can choose from them."
Remnant Soul was surprised and said: "You actually have the Fairy Flower and the Nine-leaf Lotus? These are indeed the most precious treasures for reshaping the body. Unfortunately, these treasures are only for ordinary monks in the immortal world, but they are useless to me."
Cheng Ling was startled and asked in a solemn voice: "Who are you? What is your identity?"
Remnant Soul glanced at him disdainfully and sighed: "How many thousands of years have passed, and I don't know if anyone still remembers that this fairy world is no longer the fairy world it used to be. The immortal essence is getting thinner and thinner, and the way of heaven has also become thinner... "
Cheng Ling listened quietly and did not interrupt, but the two fingers of his right hand were still pointing to the sky, ready to use the Great Thunder Technique at any time.
Canhun sighed secretly in his heart, this guy is really smart and doesn't give him any chance. She said again: "My name is Jie Jiuzhen, and I am a Holy Emperor from the Ice God Palace!"
"Ice God Palace?" Cheng Ling sneered: "I have never heard of this sect in the immortal world. Returning to the Holy Emperor, is it just nonsense!"
Xie Jiuzhen said angrily: "Ice God Palace doesn't know, but the Misty Snow Sect always knows, right?"
"Are you a monk from Piaomiao Snow Sect?" Cheng Ling's tone turned cold and he asked coldly.
Xie Jiuzhen instinctively sensed the murderous intent in his eyes and hurriedly said: "Bah, the Piaomiao Snow Sect is nothing. It is just a sect founded by an abandoned disciple of my Ice God Palace. It is not the same at all."
"Stop talking nonsense, tell the truth about what's going on." Cheng Ling interrupted.
Xie Jiuzhen was furious, thinking that if she had met Cheng Ling in the past, she would have killed Cheng Ling with one palm. However, the current situation is stronger than others. Not only has the opponent's cultivation level been restored, but he also has the terrifying Zixiao Divine Thunder. Now that the tiger is in Pingyang, we can only do as we are told.
She swallowed and said: "A long time ago, Ice God Palace, as one of the four super powers, jointly controlled the entire fairy world with Thunder Immortal Palace, Wuji Sect, and Chaoyang Temple. At that time, the entire fairy world, or the entire universe , only nine most powerful Holy Emperors exist."
"Oh? Who are they?"
"The ancestors of the four super powers, Master Fanhua, Ancestor Bodhi, Supreme Zen Master, Holy Emperor of Life, and Great Netherworld Emperor."
"Are these people Holy Emperors? So, your strength has reached the pinnacle of the immortal world?" Cheng Ling asked calmly.
"The peak of the immortal world?" Jie Jiuzhen looked up to the sky and smiled, but the laughter was full of bitterness, and said: "At the beginning, I also thought that the Holy Emperor had reached the peak of the immortal world. He could live forever, destroy the heaven and earth, and tear apart all voids. You can still cross the interface, but until one day, something happens that completely changes it."
Cheng Ling did not ridicule Xie Jiuzhen. He knew that the higher his cultivation level and the more he understood, the more he felt his own shortcomings. The other party's words were probably not sensational.
"Before, I always thought that the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor was the end of cultivation. It was only later that I learned about the existence of the Holy Emperor. According to what you said, there are more terrifying and powerful people above the Holy Emperor. Could it be that only by reaching that state can we obtain eternal life?"
"Who told you that after reaching a certain state, you can live forever? Let me tell you, I have never seen anyone who can live forever. I can't do it. Even if I reach the end of the path, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Cheng Ling became solemn. He practiced hard in order to achieve immortality, and then take the people around him to live forever and travel in the universe. Now when he heard Xie Jiuzhen say that even if he became the strongest, he would not be able to obtain eternal life, he suddenly became confused.
But he believed that a powerful person like Jie Jiuzhen, who had reached the Holy Emperor, would not lie, and there was no need to lie to him.
Understanding this truth, Cheng Ling asked: "Then tell me, what is the difference between the Immortal Emperor and the Saint Emperor, and what kind of state will it be after the Saint Emperor?"
"A long time ago, the Immortal Emperor Realm was the same as other Immortal Realm realms. It was only divided into four levels: Beginner, Middle, Late, and Peak. But now, it has been divided into one to nine stars. The purpose is to create a new world after all the Saint Emperors disappear. To avoid losing confidence in cultivating the Tao, this will make the division of strength more obvious."
Cheng Ling expressed his understanding. As he had guessed before, when he met the Three-Star Immortal Emperor, he had the strength to fight, but when he reached the Four-Star Immortal Emperor, he would be more reluctant. If he met the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor, he would have no choice but to run away.
According to this situation, there is not much difference from the previous division method of initial, middle, final and perfect.
Xie Jiuzhen continued: "After reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor, it has already reached its limit, but Buddhism still has to experience the five declines of heaven and man above the Nirvana realm. This gave some Immortal Emperors a hint of inspiration, and they refined their own Immortal Essence. Each time it is refined, the immortal essence becomes purer and more powerful, and this kind of refining, after testing, can eventually be achieved five times."
"Thus, those Immortal Emperors called each refinement the Immortal Yuan Transformation, that is, the first-turn Saint Emperor, the second-turn Saint Emperor, the third-turn Saint Emperor, the fourth-turn Saint Emperor, and the fifth-turn Saint Emperor. And what I am talking about is the nine-turn Saint Emperor. The strongest ones are all fifth-level saint emperors."
