After saying that, Qin Feng arrived at the core of the ancient star of the Heavenly Soldiers.
This place is extremely sinister, yet it still retains remnants of supreme laws.
Not far away, the flames of the Supreme Immortal Platform burn eternally, and immortal liquid flows faintly. A golden egg absorbs everything here.
Qin Feng recognized the egg and admired the courage of its owner who had faced death to survive.
Although he often joked that he had to sit at the same table as this egg when attending banquets, it was undeniable that the other party was a truly charismatic person, only unfortunately born at the wrong time.
“Accumulated Yang becomes spirit, spirit contains form, form is born from the sun, the sun is born from the moon, accumulated Yin forms shape, form contains spirit…”
"A clear mind illuminates all things, breaking through all barriers; a strong spirit transcends all obstacles; all senses are contained in a single breath; with a single mind, one observes all things..."
Suddenly, Qin Fengsong began reciting the Scripture of Salvation.
This scripture is one of the two ancient scriptures created by Lingbao Tianzun.
The evil aura was dispelled, and Qin Feng continued chanting.
Four sharp sword beams suddenly attacked, but they did not approach Emperor Qin Feng's body, stopping not far away.
Qin Feng continued chanting his sutras, staring at the four killing swords that had suddenly appeared.
"These are Fellow Daoist Lingbao's Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter. It is said that he also possesses a formation diagram. In the mythological era, he was guided by the formation diagram, raising the four swords into the sky to quell the corpse calamity."
The Yin Emperor was knowledgeable and experienced.
The old man in green pondered: "Fellow Daoist Fengtian, do you intend to use this method to awaken the spirit of this place? Do you suspect that Fellow Daoist Lingbao still has lingering remnants here?"
Qin Feng did not answer, and the process of guiding people continued.
At that moment, sparks flew as a phantom figure slowly emerged from the flames on the burning platform.
"Fellow Daoists, I greet you. It was you three who awakened me?"
The illusory figure, like a bubble, could burst at any moment, and greeted Qin Feng and the other two.
Qin Feng stopped reciting the sutra for saving people.
"Fengtian (Taiyin) (Taiyang) greets Fellow Daoist Lingbao."
The illusory figure wore a smile.
Then, he looked at the large golden egg next to the flames on the Sendai.
With just one glance, the illusory figure understood everything.
"So that's how it is. With the methods I used back then, I might have been able to reappear in the world after countless ages. But now it's only because you, Fellow Daoist Fengtian, are reciting the Scripture of Salvation that it has temporarily reappeared. That's the reason."
The illusory figure let out a soft sigh.
Amidst the desolation, there is a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion) about the passing of time.
Qin Feng was startled, thinking to himself that Lingbao Tianzun had indeed reached such a level, far beyond simply living out his third life.
"Fellow Daoist, you passed away here, your body evolved into a divine realm, and your head transformed into this ancient star. Are you preparing for your revival after countless ages?" Qin Feng inquired.
The illusory figure said, "That's right. The fireworks of Sendai will never be extinguished. They were prepared before I passed away to avoid causing a great disaster. They are waiting for future generations to awaken."
"It's a pity that the grand scheme of ages has vanished in an instant and will never reappear in the world. My existence now is not even a matter of obsession... or even a divine thought."
Qin Feng immediately understood.
The next moment, he looked at the golden egg.
"Is it because of this egg that it absorbed all the creation of this place, thus causing your eternal plan to come to naught?" Qin Feng asked again.
The illusory figure smiled, offering no reply; its silence spoke volumes.
"It is fate and destiny; perhaps this is my destiny."
The illusory figure said frankly, "In the past, the corpse plague was rampant. I, a humble Taoist, traveled the world with my sword to quell the corpse plague in all directions, but in the end, I almost became the biggest corpse plague of that year."
"Therefore, in my later years as the fourth incarnation, I passed away here, and with the method of eternity, I burned the altar, awaiting the revival of future generations."
Qin Feng was shocked. He was astonished that Lingbao Tianzun had actually lived to the fourth incarnation, a hypothesis he had never considered before.
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are excellent," exclaimed the Taiyin Emperor.
The old man in green robes was also impressed: "If your destiny has not been taken away, fellow Daoist, the fifth generation is within reach."
"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
The illusory figure calmly said, "If it weren't for fellow Daoists reciting my Scripture of Salvation here, I wouldn't even be able to manifest this figure in the world; it would simply vanish into oblivion over time."
Qin Feng felt a deep sadness, but also a sense of magnanimity.
Lingbao Tianzun, who was able to live to the fourth time, had already taken life and death so lightly.
"Is there any way to bring you back to the mortal realm?" Qin Feng asked.
The illusory figure shook its head and said, "I am powerless. In my current state, even if a true immortal were to descend to earth, it would be difficult to reverse the yin and yang."
"Fellow Daoist, have you awakened me, or do you have something to ask of me? Please speak frankly!"
Qin Feng explained his purpose, stating that he wanted to follow the path of nurturing the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace and to break through his fourth incarnation.
The illusory figure seemed to be thinking: "So that's how it is. Nurturing the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace is a wonderful method. If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me to pass on the true interpretation of the taboos of the Lingbao Scripture. It would also be a way to continue my lineage."
Like the Yin Emperor and the old man in green.
The illusory figure moved, pointing a finger at Qin Feng's brow, but no imperial inscription appeared. Instead, only an enduring chanting was etched into his sage platform, echoing from time to time.
"I entered the Dao through array formations and attained the position of Heavenly Venerable. However, the Corpse Calamity is rampant. I wielded my sword to quell the Corpse Calamity. This Dao has also contributed greatly to my efforts," said the illusory figure.
Qin Feng remained silent, listening to the Daoist chants within the Sendai.
A moment later, Qin Feng's eyes gleamed: "This seems to be the prototype of Chu Luoli's domain? Chu Luoli's extraordinary abilities are to imprint inscriptions on the eternal space-time, borrowing the power of the eternal."
"Lingbao Tianzun's array formations showed signs of evolving in this direction, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time and never saw the day when they were truly perfected."
Qin Feng was still pondering.
At this moment, the illusory figure said again: "Fellow Daoist, if you want to live out your fourth life, you must be extremely careful. Beware of the underworld, lest you end up like me."
“Since the beginning of the mythological era, it has been said that the underworld is the final resting place of all spirits. The corpse calamity of that time was also caused by the underworld.”
"Unfortunately, I was eventually tainted by the calamity of the corpses, and my mind was about to be extinguished. Therefore, I chose to sit in meditation and pass away, no longer wishing to live any longer, and only waiting for time to sweep away everything."
The words "underworld" startled Qin Feng.
"Fellow Daoist, were you ambushed by the Underworld back then?" Qin Feng asked again.
The illusory figure did not deny it: "Yes and no. The calamity of corpses originated from the underworld. The underworld is my lifelong enemy. They did not want to see me continue to live, so they took action in my later years of my fourth incarnation."
“In the underworld, there are immortal corpses that possess spiritual power. I wielded my sword and slew them. There are also other ancient corpses that possess spiritual power, no less powerful than mine, and they wreak havoc on the human world.”
Qin Feng's expression was solemn; he was quite certain that all of this was real.
Today, the Corpse Emperor of the Primordial Ancient Mine is an ancient corpse that has become spiritually enlightened and attained the status of Emperor. He has no pity for any living beings in the human world.
Human beings are merely food for him, aiding his longevity so that he may return to the path of immortality.
“Fellow Daoist, I have noted it down,” Qin Feng replied.
The illusory figure continued, "Furthermore, the underworld contains mysterious places. In the past, I deduced the secrets of the ancient times, and the underworld may involve the secrets of the chaotic ancient times."
"In the underworld, I have deduced a tomb that should have originated in the chaotic ancient era. Within that tomb lies the secret to becoming an immortal, and the source of the corpse calamity also originates from this tomb. Therefore, we must be extremely cautious."
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.
The words of Lingbao Tianzun resounded like thunder in his ears.
Qin Feng realized: "The tombs of the Chaotic Ancient Era, then it seems that can only be... the burial grounds of the Chaotic Ancient Era!"
Chapter 39 Fellow Daoist Golden Crow, You Need to Calm Down
The Earth's core, ablaze with fiery flames, a breathtaking spectacle.
Within the massive Sendai, the immortal flames began to blaze brilliantly, as if undergoing a final sublimation, like the ultimate attainment of supreme power.
Qin Feng was engrossed in his work when he suddenly awoke with a start.
"Fellow Daoist, you..." Qin Feng was surprised.
The illusory figure smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoists, this gathering with you will ensure that future generations will have no regrets in the human world."
Qin Feng understood; the time had come.
The Scripture of Salvation, which aims to deliver souls from the dead, is ultimately not the true divine thought of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, and thus cannot endure in this world.
Qin Feng was unable to make Lingbao Tianzun also be nurtured in his sea of suffering.
"Farewell, fellow Daoist!" The Taiyin Human Emperor and the old man in green whispered at the same time, as the illusory figure became even more illusory.
The fluctuation of Dao patterns is a sign that it is about to completely fade away from the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth.
Qin Feng bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Fellow Daoist Lingbao Tianzun!"
The figure vanished, as if it had never existed in this world.
Qin Feng remained silent, watching intently.
Even long after Lingbao Tianzun had completely vanished, he was still unable to regain consciousness immediately.
Suddenly, within the enormous platform, divine flames transformed into trickling streams, and celestial liquid pupae bubbled forth, all heading towards the golden giant egg.
On the giant golden egg, the fluctuations of life were particularly evident.
Qin Feng realized: "Fellow Daoist Lingbao is helping this egg to complete its transformation ahead of schedule. Knowing that he has no chance of living a fifth life, he is using his last Dao trace to help this egg complete its transformation ahead of schedule."
The Golden Crow Emperor is indeed very lucky!
Qin Feng was filled with emotion as he watched the golden giant egg continue to recover.
"Is it going to appear a million years ahead of schedule?" Qin Feng thought to himself, then waved his hand and took out a huge stone table from the Bitter Sea, sat down on it, and didn't rush to leave.
The Yin Emperor and the old man in green also took their seats and observed the giant golden egg.
With their knowledge and experience, how could they not judge that, due to the revival and annihilation of Lingbao Tianzun, the golden giant egg could save hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of Nirvana time?
Qin Feng looked at it, but his mind was on other things.
"Fellow Daoist Lingbao warned me to be careful in the Underworld, deducing that there are ancient tombs in the Underworld, which must be burial grounds from the ancient era, perhaps only a small part of them."
Qin Feng pondered for a moment: "If I remember correctly, after that person died, it was Cao Yusheng who buried him in the burial ground, and he was eventually reborn in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, returning to the Immortal Realm."
