Chen Jiuyang’s transformation into an immortal body prioritized the ‘Establishment’ Nine Great Laws, integrating them into his origin Dao.
Compared to offensive methods, Chen Jiuyang’s primary focus for dealing with Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors was his protective origin Dao.
For instance, Zhuang Wu’s first origin Dao was also ‘Self,’ before considering offensive capabilities.
Chen Jiuyang’s physical body was nearing the completion of its transformation into an immortal body. His flesh was crystalline, emitting a vast and pure aura akin to a Confucian sage.
The ‘Establishment’ Nine Great Laws he mastered were themselves refined from the remains of powerful Confucian cultivators.
With mastery of such an origin Dao, even if Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors schemed against him, he would sense it. While not invincible, he would at least stand in an unassailable position, perfectly capable of self-preservation.
The immortal path is one of survival.
Living long is the true victory.
However, if others were to choose their primary method as offense, Chen Jiuyang’s choice of defense meant his combat power would be somewhat lacking.
Without the augmentation of martial true qi, the power of his many techniques was ultimately not as strong as in his previous life, where a Martial Saint could cover the sky with a flick of their finger and easily slay enemies.
But if this path were to continue, it would only reveal its true power once Chen Jiuyang reached the Immortal King realm.
The immortal path was a late-game strategy.
Upon fully entering the Tribulation Transcending stage, Chen Jiuyang sensed why it was called the Tribulation Transcending stage. The laws contained within his body, if they were to transform into origin Daos, would, after being nurtured to their peak, trigger tribulations for metamorphosis.
“This tribulation is not external, but internal…”
Chen Jiuyang mused, “After transcending the internal tribulation, one smoothly enters the Mahayana stage…”
“And I have a total of eighty-one internal tribulations.”
“This is troublesome; I cannot act rashly. Otherwise, if an internal tribulation arrives when my state is not optimal, causing the laws I am integrating to shatter, my path forward would be cut off.”
“No wonder those old fellows in the Five Great Sacred Lands are so adept at survival.”
“The immortal path is indeed much more troublesome than the martial path.”
“It seems I must continue to lie low and cultivate diligently. Once I break through to the Mahayana stage, I will smoothly ascend to the immortal realm, and my cultivation will then soar.”
After transcending his tribulation, Chen Jiuyang was a true immortal great power. The surging magical power made him feel capable of plucking stars and capturing the moon.
In contrast, as a Martial Grand Sage, Chen Jiuyang felt he was capable of shattering stars and breaking the moon.
“A completely different path.”
With his tribulation completed, it was time for Chen Jiuyang to see if there were any changes to the Life Scroll after this ascension.
Host: Chen Jiuyang
Cultivation: Tribulation Transcending Stage
Lifespan: Three hundred thousand three hundred and thirty years!
Fortune: Immortal Emperor Potential (Extreme Purple), Immortal King Potential (Extreme Purple), Martial Path Unsurpassed (Extreme Purple), Transcending Heaven and Earth (Crimson).
Authority: Extinction of Life Scroll, Longevity Scroll.
“Hmm? Longevity Scroll?”
Chen Jiuyang’s expression immediately brightened; a new authority had been unlocked.
“Let me see…”
“Grafting Flowers, Connecting Trees: By expending a portion of my own lifespan, I can transfer this lifespan to another person…”
Chen Jiuyang’s expression was filled with excitement, “This means my parents and younger sister’s longevity now has a solution.”
He currently had three hundred thousand three hundred and thirty years of lifespan at the Tribulation Transcending stage. So, when he reached the Immortal King cultivation, how much lifespan would he have?
It could be considered true longevity.
He would be able to protect his family’s longevity!
Chen Jiuyang was truly overjoyed!
“It’s also the perfect time. I’ll prepare the Longevity Pill for my parents and younger sister, and then transfer some lifespan to them.”
“That’s how it will be done.”
“These past few months, I haven’t inflicted the ‘Elimination Package’ on them… I suspect they’ve been causing trouble…”
“First, I’ll give them a round of Elimination Packages, let them enjoy themselves.”
Chen Jiuyang sneered.
With three hundred and thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty years of lifespan, he could afford to be extravagant.
“Then I’ll upgrade it, directly giving each person a hundred years of lifespan in the Elimination Package…”
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, then manipulated his primordial spirit to perform the technique.
…
The various forbidden lands.
Over the past three months, the inhabitants of the various forbidden lands had not been harassed, finally enjoying a period of peace.
Recalling that the Five Great Sacred Lands were planning to summon people from the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm to descend,
This further convinced them that the Five Great Sacred Lands intended to establish their own power, hiding the owner of the Life Scroll to prevent the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm from discovering this matter.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, they sensed something was wrong.
“Not good! It’s happening again! Even more intense than before!” The expressions of the people in the various forbidden lands changed in unison.
Regardless of what they were doing, they immediately ceased their actions.
“This intensity… it’s forcing our cultivation to regress!”
The complexions of hundreds of Immortal Kings from the various forbidden lands turned ashen.
The path of cultivation was already difficult, and to be plundered and forced to regress like this!
If this continued, wouldn’t they become fish on a chopping board?
“No! We must unite and attack the Five Great Sacred Lands, otherwise, we will only have a dead end!”
And on this day.
Precisely.
A rift was torn in the universe, and people from the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm descended into the mortal world, with countless heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as various heavenly officials and Immortal Kings.
The people of the Five Great Sacred Lands had already prepared divine statues, instructing their allied forces to worship and offer sacrifices to them, so that they could receive the destiny of the current era and not be erased by the will of heaven and earth.
…
And the instigator of it all was still within the forbidden land of the Fallen Immortal Cliff.
“Whew, satisfying!”
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, “Eight thousand one hundred years of lifespan.”
He took out a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal king from his spatial ring and consumed it, immediately replenishing the lifespan he had just expended.
“Going home.”
Chen Jiuyang flew out of the Fallen Immortal Cliff, concealing his form, only to see a demon army retreating into the Fallen Immortal Cliff, killing various degenerated alien races along the way.
“Hmm?” Chen Jiuyang was initially confused, then understood, “The people from the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm have descended.”
Originally, with the presence of the Five Great Sacred Lands and the various forbidden lands, the demon race dared not act presumptuously, and in his previous life, they even followed the orders of the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm.
Now that the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm had descended, they would have to tuck their tails between their legs.
“The waters of this world are about to become thoroughly muddied.”
A cold glint flashed in Chen Jiuyang’s eyes.
The muddier the waters of the world became, the easier it would be for him to fish in troubled waters and carry out his revenge plan.
“If the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm is also annihilated, then the dark calamity will not descend.”
Chen Jiuyang now thought that the dark calamities that had occurred many times were likely related to the Death Scroll of the Book of Life and Death.
After all, using the Death Scroll to ensure the longevity of the Heavenly Court Immortal Realm was not without its price.
“I’ll go home and lie low. From now on, I’ll just enjoy the show of them fighting amongst themselves.”
Chen Jiuyang couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. The current chaotic state of the world was, in large part, orchestrated by him, Chen Jiuyang.
Otherwise, in his previous life, at this time, the Five Great Sacred Lands were still acting arrogantly, plundering resources everywhere.
Arriving outside the Fallen Immortal Cliff, passing through the ‘Boundary Crossing’ and returning to Qingzhu Village, Chen Jiuyang still found it comfortable here.
“I have to wait. With intelligence from the Heavenly Court, in the future, I’ll arrange Elimination Packages for the Immortal Realm as well.”
