Then, from an infinite distance, they imprisoned the divine embryo Shakyamuni, which was conceived from the remains of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, and the three little demons Yan Qing and Subhuti, who were transformed into humans from the Immortal Lotus Medicine and the Immortal Bodhi Medicine.
A moment later, Cao Yisheng led the way, followed by the three little monks, including Shakyamuni, to greet the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.
Upon seeing the bronze chariot of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality approaching, Cao Yisheng, who had been sent by Zhou Xuan to greet him, spoke loudly:
"The Immortal Mausoleum Longevity Celestial Venerable has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, seated on a bronze chariot, slightly turned his gaze toward Cao Yisheng, who was coming to greet him.
Upon seeing that Zhou Xuan had not personally come to greet him, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity felt a sense of frustration.
However, in the instant I glanced to the side and saw Cao Yisheng's appearance.
As one of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up.
The ancient Qilin emperor, seated atop the Qilin palanquin, glanced at this with a puzzled look.
The other supreme beings in the forbidden zones also turned their gazes in unison, looking towards the direction of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.
However, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity seemed completely unaware of the gazes of his fellow Daoists.
He rose from his bronze chariot, stepped down, and appeared before Cao Yisheng, returning the greeting with ancient rites from the mythological era.
Then, with eyes full of emotion, she said:
"Celestial Venerable Transcending Tribulation, this humble Daoist bows in reverence!"
"Huh? Has the Celestial Venerable of Immortality mistaken me for someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yisheng, who had been dispatched by Zhou Xuan to greet the group of supreme beings from the forbidden zones, twitched slightly and quickly explained:
"This humble Taoist is not undergoing tribulation..."
"Fellow Daoist is a scholar of both heaven and man, the teacher of the Emperor, and has taught me the method of longevity and transformation. He is my half-teacher, and I would never mistake him for someone else."
However, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity seemed not to have heard Cao Yisheng's words at all, and continued speaking to himself:
"I had long suspected that you, fellow Daoist, are a man of profound learning and would not perish here. I even suspect that you severed your own ties with the Underworld Lord and the Source Emperor to re-prove your Dao."
"Only after meeting you today, I realize that my doubts were correct."
"The fellow Daoist who taught the Emperor the method of severing everything and re-establishing the Dao has indeed severed everything and embarked on the path of cultivation anew."
"This method of achieving immortality is truly far superior to my own!"
At this point, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, with a look of emotion on his face, said:
"However, I lack your decisiveness, fellow Daoist. Even with the methods you have taught me, I still dare not sever all ties and embark on the path of cultivation again..."
"Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable!"
As the Celestial Venerable of Longevity was filled with emotion, the Supreme Beings behind him, such as the Ancient Emperor of Xuanwu and the Ancient Emperor of Qilin, immediately turned their heads.
He stared intently at Cao Yisheng, who stood atop the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, ready to greet him.
At first glance, it seems unremarkable, nothing more than a quasi-emperor ant.
However, upon activating all his supernatural powers and looking again, he discovered that this quasi-emperor ant had an unusual physique.
His physical body was even able to nurture the blood essence of the Heavenly Venerable.
Not only that, but within its flesh and blood, there was also an ancient, solidified, and immensely powerful killing array.
This vast killing formation is even more exquisite than the Perfect Emperor Formation. If it were fully activated with the power of the ultimate path, it would be enough to contend with the supreme beings of the ultimate path.
If multiple supreme beings were to jointly set up an array, it's likely that no foreign immortal would be able to gain the upper hand.
As soon as the Celestial Venerable of Immortality finished speaking, another ancient Celestial Venerable from the mythological era also spoke with deep emotion:
"This killing formation seems even more powerful than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which was created by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, who forged the formation diagram with his own Great Dao and forged four killing swords with the nine immortal metals, and whose purpose was to kill true immortals!"
The Ancient Emperor Qilin continued speaking:
"To inscribe such a terrifying killing formation into one's own flesh and blood, this child might indeed be, as the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable said, a Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable who has severed all ties before embarking on the path of enlightenment!"
The Ancient Emperor Xuanwu glanced deeply in Cao Yisheng's direction, then turned his gaze towards the summit of Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain and said:
"The Emperor of the Mythical Era taught the Emperor, and the Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, who was half a master of the Emperor and half a master of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, was the one to welcome him. The current Emperor is truly making a grand gesture..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu seemed to sense something.
The gaze that was originally intended to be directed at the summit of Mount Jiushijiulong suddenly froze and sank into the body of the young novice Shakyamuni.
Because, at this very moment,
The Amitabha Buddha's supreme imperial weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, which was held by the golden-bodied Buddha and used by Zhou Xuan to attack the Spear Emperor and other supreme beings, has now transformed into a stream of light and landed in the hands of the young novice Shakyamuni.
Following the stream of light transformed from the Vajra pestle, one gazes upon the young novice monk Shakyamuni.
The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor's eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed:
"This little novice monk is Amitabha Buddha!!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you old tortoise are quite something, you actually recognized the Great Emperor!"
Before the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor's voice had even finished, the talkative Imperial Weapon Demon-Subduing Pestle turned around and began chattering at the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor:
"By the way, I remember when the Great Emperor was seventy thousand years old, you came out of the Undying Mountain and visited him, asking him why he was able to live so long."
"You guys are chatting, and you want the Emperor to throw you out?"
At this point, the Vajra Pestle spoke with resentment:
"When you left, I kept asking you what you talked about with the Emperor, but you old turtle completely ignored me..."
Listening to Amitabha Buddha's incessant chanting of the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
The group of supreme beings, whose attention was originally focused on Cao Yisheng, all turned their gazes to the young novice monk Shakyamuni.
"Little pestle, you mustn't be rude."
The young novice monk Shakyamuni, upon hearing the vajra pestle address him as the Great Emperor, spoke to the vajra pestle with a mature air on his innocent face:
"Also, Master said that I am not Amitabha Buddha."
"My name is Shakyamuni..."
Listening to the words of the young novice Shakyamuni, the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu looked at the Vajra pestle and asked:
"Didn't the Amitabha Buddha Emperor pass away at the age of 72,000?"
"how……"
"You old turtle, you're being completely unreasonable!"
The young novice monk, who had promised Shakyamuni, referred to himself not as Amitabha Buddha, but as the Vajra pestle, which he believed would surely enable Shakyamuni to attain enlightenment.
Upon hearing that the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor had fallen, he was immediately displeased and instantly flew up to speak urgently to the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor:
"Who fell? My Emperor is alive and well, isn't he?!"
Imperial weapons never mistake people.
Upon hearing the words of the Demon-Subduing Pestle, all the supreme beings of the realm immediately realized that the little novice monk who had been brought to greet them by the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable was none other than the reincarnation of the most mysterious human emperor, the Amitabha Emperor!
Surprisingly, he was welcomed by the reincarnation of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, one of the nine great celestial venerables of the mythological era, and the most mysterious human emperor of the ancient era, Amitabha Buddha.
This emperor of our time is truly extravagant!
Chapter 76; The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone Desires to Slay an Immortal
"Please, Your Excellencies, ascend the mountain."
At that moment, two childish voices rang out from behind Cao Yisheng and Shakyamuni.
"Om!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, seeing Shakyamuni being praised by a group of supreme beings, Yan Qing, who was eager to compete, had a slight thought.
The supreme treasure embryo, forged from the very essence of the Immortal Green Lotus and fueled by the myriad principles of the universe, has appeared.
The moment the Azure Lotus embryo appeared in her palm, Yan Qing's tender arm swayed slightly.
The myriad paths of heaven and earth resonated, each one refreshing and invigorating. Even the supreme beings of the highest realms could feel the cracks in their celestial platforms, and the faintly mending blue lotuses fell from the sky, paving the way for all the supreme beings of the highest realms.
When Yan Qing made his move, Subhuti, who was vying with Yan Qing and Shakyamuni for the position of senior brother, was naturally unwilling to fall behind.
It is also a copy of the Seven Wonders Bodhi, a peerless treasure embryo made from the immortal Bodhi tree, summoned from the sea of suffering.
The moment the Seven Wonders Bodhi is held in his palm, the same chubby-faced Subhuti, with a slight thought, connects with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, manifesting Bodhi flowers that open wisdom, awaken spiritual intelligence, and prolong life.
In order to prolong his own lifespan, he severed himself with a sword and then sealed himself as the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone.
Each one represents the culmination of a lifetime's efforts to plunder all the rare and precious treasures within the vast universe that could sustain the reign of a supreme emperor.
Nowadays, apart from a few rare immortal treasures such as the Heavenly Origin Fruit, which exist only in legends, the rest, whether it be the Immortal Elixir or the Primordial Life Stone, are all rare treasures.
They were all thoroughly plundered by the Supreme Being, and consumed to the point that they had no effect whatsoever.
Therefore, when he discovered that the blue lotus and bodhi flower, which originated from the extraordinary treasures in Yan Qing and Subhuti's hands, could alleviate the moment when his own mortal platform cracked.
Almost instinctively, the group of supreme beings turned their gazes toward Yan Qing and Subhuti.
"These two treasures, capable of giving rise to the peerless Dao flower that nourishes the cracks in my immortal platform... wait, you are..."
Activating his ultimate eye technique, he observed Cao Yisheng and the group of supreme beings of Shakyamuni, his gaze shifting to Yan Qing and Subhuti the instant he turned his attention to them.
The Celestial Venerable of Longevity, whose original target was Yan Qing and the ultimate treasure embryo in Subhuti's palm, suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed:
"You are the embodiment of the immortal elixir!!!"
As everyone knows, the elixir of immortality exists since time immemorial, and its fruit, once ingested, grants one a second life, allowing one to restart one's existence.
For a self-proclaimed supreme being who craves longevity, the eternally unique elixir of immortality is naturally the best subject of research.
The Celestial Venerables, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors of all generations, including the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, have all researched the elixir of immortality. The Celestial Venerable of Immortality even tried various methods to make the elixir of immortality take human form in order to verify whether it could retain its immortality after taking human form.
Unfortunately, no matter how the Celestial Venerable of Immortality tried, the elixir of immortality could not be transformed into human form.
Since then, all the supreme beings, including the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, have believed that the inability to take human form is the price for the eternal existence of the elixir of immortality.
But now, this concept of endless years, which was deeply rooted in the mind of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, has been completely shattered by the glaring example before his eyes.
The elixir of immortality is not incapable of taking human form; rather, one has not yet found a way to make it take human form.
