Chapter 18 The Celestial Venerable of Leisure Reveals His True Form
Chapter 18 The Celestial Venerable of Leisure Reveals His True Form
Beneath the celestial canopy, countless beings were in an uproar. Finally, someone recognized the identity of this celestial being, and exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
"It's the secret of the character '行'!"
"He was actually able to extrapolate the secrets of the character '行' to the realm of time, defying the common sense of the universe!"
"Hiss—it's the Carefree Celestial Venerable! The mythical Celestial Venerable who created the Secret of the Word 'Xing'!"
The reputation of the Xingzi Secret is so great that almost all high-level cultivators in various timelines have witnessed its power or learned from Daoist techniques adapted from its fragments.
But no one expected that the once world-renowned Celestial Venerable, who created unparalleled secret techniques, would now be reduced to a monster who possesses others and is neither human nor ghost. This contrast sent chills down everyone's spine.
Within the Immortal Tomb, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity gazed at the figure in the sky who displayed divine might, rapidly entered the realm of time, and rendered Ye Fan utterly powerless, his eyes darkening slightly.
"It really is you, Xiaoyao!"
In the past, only he, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, and the Celestial Venerable of Freedom had the opportunity to come into contact with the Emperor's Elixir of Immortality.
The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana is rigid in nature and would never do something as sinister as possession. Therefore, from the very beginning, he suspected the Celestial Venerable of Freedom the most.
Thinking of this, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity no longer hesitated. He directly contacted the Sea of Reincarnation with his divine sense, his tone carrying a hint of a half-smile as he probed, "Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao, it's been many years. I didn't expect you to still be alive, and to have such a 'heroic feat' in the world!"
A moment later, a response came from the depths of the Sea of Reincarnation from the Celestial Venerable of Freedom. His tone was calm, revealing little emotion: "Fellow Daoist of Longevity, several eras have passed since our last parting. Your demeanor remains as radiant as ever."
As for the battle in the sky, he no longer cared much.
The moment he revealed the ultimate secret of the Word of Movement and stepped into the realm of time, Ye Fan had no chance of winning.
His only thought at that moment was what the secret to immortality hidden in the sky was.
In the Heavenly Court of the Emperor's Time and Space
The two Celestial Venerables, Changsheng and Jimie, along with Chuanying, all turned their gazes to the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao beside them, creating a momentary stagnation in the atmosphere.
The carefree Celestial Venerable thought to himself that things were not going well; if he didn't break the deadlock soon, he might be in trouble.
After all, they entered the Heavenly Court partly for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill promised by the Emperor, and partly because they dared not disobey the Emperor's power.
"I never expected such a serious change to happen in the future."
The carefree Celestial Venerable took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence in the room.
This is also a reminder that you two won't be clean in the future either.
The Celestial Venerable of Longevity had already guessed this, and readily agreed, saying, "Indeed, fellow Daoist, your mastery of the Word 'Travel' technique has become increasingly refined over the years, even reaching the realm of time. It is truly admirable."
The Emperor sat upright on his throne, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and did not pursue the matter any further.
"The Heavenly Curtain is still playing, and the secret to becoming an immortal has not yet been revealed. Now is not the time to settle old scores. We can settle this score with the Carefree Celestial Venerable after the Heavenly Curtain finishes playing!"
"Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Changsheng. This sky has indeed pointed out the direction for my subsequent deduction of the 'Xing' character secret."
The carefree Celestial Venerable cupped his hands and smiled, secretly relieved.
The Nine Secrets are never static. As long as the Celestial Venerable lives on, he can continuously deduce and improve them, bringing the power of the Nine Secrets to its extreme.
Taiyin Holy Emperor Time and Space
Deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine, a furious roar suddenly erupted, shaking the entire mine: "It was him! When I attained enlightenment, he was the one who came to ambush me, attempting to seize my Dao foundation!"
Before the words were even finished, an incomparably powerful aura was about to break through the ancient mine and emerge to settle this karmic debt.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
"Don't be impatient, we can settle old scores after the show ends!"
"If we act rashly now and miss the secret to immortality hidden in the heavens, wouldn't that be a pity?"
The other ancient emperors and the Taiyin Holy Emperor in the mine quickly joined forces to dissuade them.
The Heavenly Curtain involves the secrets of becoming an immortal. During the broadcast, it was an unspoken rule that the various forces would not go to war with each other. No one was willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the sake of a moment's anger.
The furious aura subsided for a moment, then finally, through gritted teeth, it said, "Fine! Once the celestial curtain falls, I will settle accounts with this carefree wanderer and make him pay in blood!"
The Holy Emperor of Taiyin watched this scene and slowly spoke, his tone somewhat solemn: "I never expected that such a forbidden zone as the Sea of Reincarnation would harbor such a venomous snake, and one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables at that."
"Yes, a Celestial Venerable who has lived through several eras and is still constantly improving the Nine Secrets has a combat power that far surpasses that of an ordinary ancient emperor."
"Fellow Daoist, your descendant with the Holy Body is probably in grave danger."
The ancient emperors around them were discussing among themselves. Some lamented the ruthlessness of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, while others secretly harbored malice and wanted to see the Taiyin Saint Empress and her successors perish.
But the Holy Emperor of Taiyin didn't care at all.
After the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain, Ye Fan, this junior, was too dazzling, which aroused the jealousy of the emperors of other races. This was only natural. Moreover, he believed that Ye Fan was not someone who could be easily defeated.
Void Emperor Time and Space
The Void Emperor gazed at the heavens, his expression growing increasingly solemn. He muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. The strange and troublesome opponent who repeatedly confronted me back then was actually the Carefree Celestial Venerable!"
A Celestial Venerable who has lived through several eras, compared to an ordinary ancient emperor, his combat power has long surpassed that of an ordinary ancient emperor, making him no easy opponent.
"Father, isn't our young friend Ye Fan in danger?"
The eldest son of the Void Emperor looked worried. In the sky, Ye Fan was already covered in wounds from the rapid attacks of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, and had no chance to fight back.
The Void Emperor nodded slightly, his tone grave: "If nothing unexpected happens, this young friend will have no choice but to hold on. Facing a supreme being from a forbidden zone who has severed himself and reached the pinnacle of sublimation, only by relying on one's own strength to hold on can one have a sliver of hope."
Ye Fan's Time and Space
Those powerful figures who were stuck at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor and were struggling to find their way to enlightenment could no longer sit still.
As the Emperor gazed at the ruthless and powerful Celestial Venerable displaying his divine might in the heavens, and recalling how the Venerable specifically possessed those about to attain enlightenment, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse inwardly.
"The Nine Heavenly Venerables are the benchmarks of the Great Dao of all heavens, how could they have fallen to such a state! Damn it! With them around, how can I ever attain enlightenment in this lifetime!"
The Great Sage of the Golden Crow Clan looked at the giant golden egg in front of him with a worried expression.
That is His Majesty of the Golden Crow Clan, who is about to be born and attain enlightenment.
"Your Majesty, in this life, it is best that you do not reappear in the world for the time being. The Celestial Venerable of Freedom is too rebellious and has a penchant for possessing those who have attained the Dao. To rashly reappear in the world would be far too dangerous!"
The giant golden egg hummed slightly and emitted a faint golden light. Clearly, the second-generation Golden Crow inside the egg was also watching the sky, with its own considerations in mind.
The woodcutter and the immortal queen also looked grim, their hearts heavy with worry.
Both of them harbored ambitions to attain enlightenment, but the actions of the carefree Celestial Venerable in the heavens chilled them to the bone.
I knew this Dark Supreme was dark, but this is just too dark!
They've lost all sense of shame!
