A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Page 252

The entrances to those orbs of light were clearly visible, flowing with holy light, filled with the fragrance of flowers, imbued with the mundane world, teeming with life, yet also with darkness and demonic energy, even possessing an aura of evil, and the deathly aura of the underworld—a dazzling array of colors.

"Your body... has actually opened up the Six Paths of Reincarnation?!" Kong Jian was stunned, then his eyes widened in disbelief. The Buddhist light behind him almost dissipated, which shows how unsettled he was.

He never expected that this person would open up the Six Paths of Reincarnation within his body. Such power was truly astonishing. Even the ancient monks who were said to possess an indestructible golden body would not dare to try it lightly.

At this moment, Yun Hua's eyes were deep and focused, and another change occurred within her body. Several orbs of light spun continuously, their radiance intensifying, billowing like smoke.

Finally, several orbs of light began to rotate, like ancient mirrors reflecting a magnificent scene. These were the objects of reincarnation created by the immortal monk Ruo.

The scenes of the Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld, the Stone of Three Lives, the Terrace of Longing for Home, the River of Oblivion, the Soup of Forgetfulness, and the Bridge of Helplessness transformed into Daoist diagrams, which were reflected in several orbs of light. Subsequently, wisps of Daoist traces crisscrossed and were also imprinted on the Six Paths within the body.

It wasn't until much later that Yun Hua opened his eyes again, his eyes shining brightly. He had gained a lot; the Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld, and the Three Lives Stone were all inscribed with runes related to reincarnation, which greatly promoted the Six Paths within his body.

"Fellow Daoist, your talent is astounding! You have actually opened up the Six Paths within your body. Perhaps you will have hope for reincarnation in the future!" Kong Jian exclaimed, his expression full of admiration.

"We're still on the way; we haven't succeeded completely yet." Yun Hua shook her head. The six paths within her body seemed to have existed for a long time, but they couldn't be perfected or fully opened up, so it's too early to talk about complete success.

"In that case, I'll take you somewhere to lend you a hand! Perhaps it will inspire you."

Seeing the burning light in Kong Jian's eyes, he realized that after Yun Hua had opened up the Six Paths within his body, he felt a sudden sense of closeness to him. This was because the Immortal Monk lineage had been studying reincarnation since ancient times, making them kindred spirits.

Moreover, it seems that this person in front of him is ahead of the ancient monks' lineage and may actually evolve into reincarnation, so how could he not be excited?

"Thank you very much then." Yun Hua smiled slightly, sensing Kong Jian's sincerity, and couldn't help but feel a little grateful to him.

Studying reincarnation might eventually help him understand all the causes and consequences, which would be of great help to him. He really made the right choice coming to this ancient world of immortal monks.

“If reincarnation were to truly come into being, it would be a blessing to all living beings,” Kongjian sighed.

Afterwards, guided by Kongjian, Yunhua arrived at the secret realm of Mount Sumeru, which is a stone mountain. On the magnificent stone mountain, there is a mysterious lake called the Pool of Reincarnation!

The two walked on celestial light, ascending directly to the top of the mountain, and looked down at the mysterious lake.

The water surface shimmered, rippling with layers of Buddhist light, exuding an aura of immortality and mystery.

“This was also created by our lineage in order to evolve the cycle of rebirth,” Kongjian said.

According to him, the lineage of immortal monks has experimented with many things in order to construct the cycle of reincarnation. The previous experiments were only part of it, and the main event was this cycle of reincarnation pool.

According to Kongjian, generally speaking, the Samsara Pool has great benefits for spiritual practice, especially for physical training and forging a golden body.

Of course, to practice here, certain special conditions must be met. One must study the scriptures of ancient monks to bless oneself, and one must possess the physical constitution of an ancient monk.

The so-called "ancient monk physique" refers to the physique of those who have cultivated this lineage of Dharma for many years, mastered the Buddha's teachings, and become proficient in its profound principles. They are able to bear extraordinary and profound principles. If a member of the ancient monk lineage has been tempered in this place and has achieved success in his cultivation, his physical body will be flawless and his golden body will be immortal.

Of course, ordinary people absolutely cannot withstand the baptism of the Pool of Reincarnation. Only extraordinary individuals dare not attempt it lightly. Those peerless immortal monks who can undergo the baptism of this pool eventually become kings and rulers.

"Incredible! There's a strange order to it. It must be a special place formed by the melting and burial of the bones of generations of eminent monks in the Pool of Reincarnation." Yun Hua's eyes shimmered with divine light as she made this judgment.

“Indeed, that is true. Rather than calling it their burial ground, it is more accurate to say that it is the convergence of their spiritual cultivation and divinity,” Kong Jian said with a smile.

“The true cycle of reincarnation we are experimenting with is beneath this pool,” Sorami added.

"Please!" Kong Jian invited Yun Hua into the lake to witness their final cycle of reincarnation.

Soon, they sank to the bottom of the lake without encountering any obstacles.

Although the cycle of reincarnation is incredibly effective at tempering the physical body, it is naturally ineffective for beings at their level.

As they sank to the bottom of the lake, a grand voice seemed to echo: "Reincarnation begins, the gates of Tao open wide!"

A misty passageway appeared and stretched out from there.

They walked on, and when they reached one hundred and eight zhang, they finally saw the bottom.

Below is a cluster of grottoes, some of which are connected together, densely packed like a honeycomb, which is incredibly strange.

There were many underground caves, almost all of them connected together. Soon, the scene in a corner of one of the caves caught Yun Hua's attention. In the dim underground cave, there was a group of monks, lifeless and devoid of any living beings, their faces wooden, appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

Chapter 550 The Reincarnation Experiment of the Immortal Monk in the Ancient Realm

"Is this a necromancer?" Yun Hua's heart skipped a beat.

In the darkness, those people had blank expressions, like the dead in the underworld, and their passing by looked quite eerie.

“These are the monks of my ancient lineage…” Kongjian sighed.

Yun Hua stared intently as that group of people disappeared into the distance.

"This is also one of our experiments, hoping to open up a realm of the dead." Kong Jian clasped his hands together, his face full of compassion.

They continued on their journey, and Yun Hua truly felt as if he were in hell. He was secretly shocked; the lineage of the immortal monks was indeed extraordinary.

The two encountered many groups, mostly monks, but also other creatures. These creatures were all lurking in the underground caves, heading towards a certain place.

Finally, at the end of a cave, Yun Hua saw several large doors, exactly six in total…

The groups gathered there and suddenly stopped moving, falling silent as if waiting for something.

"This is the Trial Grounds of Reincarnation built by my lineage of ancient monks," Kongjian said, looking ahead.

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation..." Yun Hua's eyes shone brightly as she gazed at the six stone doors.

"The Dao Gate is open!" The next moment, that magnificent voice rang out again.

boom!

At this moment, all six stone doors were opened, and a boundless surge of chaotic energy, mysterious and terrifying, seemed to devour people's souls.

These monks and other beings split into six groups, expressionless, and each embarked on their respective paths, entering the six stone gates.

At the same time, all six stone doors emitted a faint glow, accompanied by mist, exuding an ancient and weathered feel. The sound of chanting sutras could be heard, sending people off to the next life and into the cycle of reincarnation.

Suddenly, all six stone doors glowed, and one of them cracked open, spilling out light that seemed to lead to ancient times and connect to a mysterious world.

“Let’s go!” Kong Jian said.

Yun Hua nodded, and the next moment, the two of them stepped inside. In an instant, the stars shifted, and the two of them were inside.

Soon, they came to the road, and along it, they saw figure after figure, their faces utterly stiff, surrounded by an aura of death, utterly lifeless.

These are the souls of the dead, walking the path to the underworld, each one lonely and lifeless.

Soon, they came to a murky river ahead, with a pontoon bridge spanning it. All the corpses stiffly crossed the river here, heading to the other side.

Then, after they crossed the river, the world changed, and the void became distorted.

Scene after scene appeared: some monks were breaking through barriers in Buddhist temples, some were killed in duels, and some were going through tribulations in the mortal world. Time seemed to have reversed, and the scenes of those deceased monks in their previous lives seemed to reappear.

This is a cycle, but it is also very strange, unlike a true cycle.

This is more like a cycle of reincarnation within a limited cage, and these people are in a special state; some have damaged consciousness, while others have lost all consciousness, becoming walking corpses, so it's not really a cycle of reincarnation.

"I believe you've also realized that this cycle of reincarnation is incomplete," Kong Jian sighed softly, with regret.

Although the lineage of immortal monks has gone very far in the cycle of reincarnation, they have not yet achieved true reincarnation.

Yun Hua did not speak immediately, but stared intently at the special cycle of reincarnation created by this ancient monk lineage, her heart subtly moved.

Suddenly, a gentle stream of scripture flowed through his heart, like a song, drifting softly, like raindrops of light, seemingly about to fall into his soul.

Yun Hua was completely absorbed in the experience, sensing the vast scriptures echoing in his mind. These were profound scriptures about reincarnation and rebirth, which suddenly appeared in his mind for some unknown reason.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task, studying each section, understanding each section, and pondering each one for a long time, silently comprehending its meaning.

Kongjian was also extremely surprised, not expecting him to have gained some understanding so quickly. He stopped disturbing him and waited for him to comprehend it.

Yun Hua's body emitted six beams of light, resonating with the heavens and earth.

Both sides radiated divine light and auspicious colors, their energy surging and merging seamlessly.

"So that's how it is... The six paths left behind by the immortal monk are tangible but without spirit, while the six paths within my body are tangible but without form. Only when both form and spirit are combined can they be unified!"

boom!

At this moment, the last blurry ball of light within his body gradually solidified, suddenly shining brightly and completely condensing, becoming even more intense than the sun and moon. The six paths revolve, endlessly cycling, regenerating without ceasing.

The scriptures within his body resonated and were transmitted outwards. In an instant, it seemed that all things in the world rose and fell, the universe changed, and one era after another passed away.

Within his body, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were finally fully opened, covered with runes that crisscrossed each other, as if a complete set of rules and order had been born.

"This is..." Kong Jian was somewhat stunned. The Six Paths of Reincarnation within his body had been completely opened up, and the last incomplete part had been filled in. The complete Six Paths had thus been opened up.

In an instant, a shower of light and divine radiance filled the sky, surging into this land of reincarnation—the power of reincarnation, rising and falling in abundance.

A misty haze rose and permeated the area, even reaching the listless monks.

In an instant, the bodies of those spirits ceased to be stiff, and glimmers of light appeared in their eyes, revealing a glimmer of life. Countless points of light pierced through the distant void, rippling and disappearing into the bodies of these deceased monks.

"The remnants of their spirits have reunited! These people truly have hope of revival in the future!" Kong Jian exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.

His heart trembled. The dead really had hope of being resurrected. If this were to spread, it would surely shock the world for eternity!

“A complete order of the Six Paths can guide the return of remnants of spirits in the world, giving people hope of resurrection,” Yun Hua said thoughtfully.

"So that's how it is. The cycle of reincarnation that my lineage has opened up lacks a complete divine order; it is merely a form without a spirit." Kongjian suddenly realized.

"Thank you so much, fellow Daoist. It seems our lineage may be on the path to be connected." Kong Jian said excitedly, his lips trembling.

That intense, fiery gaze made Yun Hua feel slightly uncomfortable.

Finally, Kongjian asked Yunhua to stay and discuss the Dharma with him. Yunhua agreed, as she owed the immortal monk a favor and couldn't refuse.

In Kongjian's view, their broken path could be reconnected in the future, and the human being before him was truly amazing.

If it were even possible, and if Yun Hua were willing to stay on Mount Sumeru and take over the lineage of the ancient monks, he would gladly give up the position of Lord of Sumeru to him.

Chapter 551 The Nine Heavens of the Fallen Emperor Era

In the end, Yun Hua agreed to stay for a while, wanting to see if those remnant spirits would gradually return to their original forms and eventually be resurrected.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the world has changed. Ten thousand years later, several monks actually came back to life, fully revived with their memories intact, rather than being corpses that developed sentience.

Although their cultivation levels are still low, they are already incredibly powerful, because the stronger they were in life, the more spiritual energy they needed to gather. That's why these people were able to revive after ten thousand years.

If Yun Hua's cultivation level increases, the speed at which she gathers spiritual energy will definitely accelerate, and she may be able to revive more and more powerful cultivators.

In the end, despite Kongjian's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Yunhua still chose to leave Mount Sumeru. He had already made initial progress in establishing a complete cycle of reincarnation, but what he was now preoccupied with was the human race of the origin era, as well as a certain mystery surrounding him.

Based on some location coordinates, he continued to explore the ancient realms. He traveled through one vast ancient realm after another, and finally, he stopped in an ancient realm called Jiutian...

The Ancient Realm of the Nine Heavens!

He roamed the ancient worlds, exploring mountains and rivers, and finally stopped in one of these ancient worlds.

Because here, he saw traces that resembled those of an emperor.

Crossing the border sea, we arrived at a sandy area with a line of shallow footprints, as if left by a humanoid creature.

"I never imagined that from the beginning to the present day, such a powerful being would actually be born." Yun Hua silently looked at the faint footprints, which deeply moved him.

A buzzing sound emanated from between his brows, and mysterious runes appeared, flickering erratically. His mind inexplicably resonated with this world.

He had a vague feeling that this ancient realm was somewhat familiar to him, as if it were extremely important to him, and he felt a sense of returning to his homeland.

"Could this be the place I'm ultimately searching for?" he murmured, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Subsequently, he decided to stop traveling to other ancient realms and settle down in this place for the time being.

“An ancient realm that hasn’t been born for very long.” Yun Hua silently observed this world and came to this conclusion.

Because, on the one hand, the things in this world are relatively simple and primitive; on the other hand, there are many chaotic little worlds in this world, which is a sign that the world has not been created for too long.

Moreover, this ancient realm is not peaceful. The land is desolate, the sky is filled with blood, powerful clans roar across the heavens and earth, constantly fighting each other. The air is thick with killing intent, and blood flows everywhere.

Powerful clans abound, such as the Dark True Dragon Clan, the Celestial Lineage, and the Primordial Gods—all formidable clans that emerged from chaos, whose words command the respect of the world.

This is almost a new ancient realm, not long since it was opened up. These beings are all extremely powerful, because those born from chaos are all incredibly strong.

This is a different world, and a terrible one. Yun Hua once heard the cry of the Celestial King and saw the blood of the Celestial King destroy billions of miles of land.

This era was terrifying; it was almost a time of constant warfare and competition among all races. It was a glorious age beyond imagination.

In the final years of this life, the splendor of a constellation of stars reappeared, with one outstanding person after another being born, soaring to the heavens and constantly breaking limits.

Countless powerful figures emerged, including a peerless powerhouse nicknamed "The Butcher," who rose against all odds. His talent was extraordinary, and some even believed he could become an emperor.

Even though she was traveling through this land, Yun Hua, who rarely paid attention to people, noticed him and became somewhat interested in him.

He subconsciously compared this talented young man to Feng Yuan, but felt that he was far inferior.

He took his time, temporarily halting his cultivation, and traversed one ancient sacred land and secret realm after another, exploring this world.

He always felt that this world was somehow connected to him, and this feeling, instead of diminishing with the passage of time, became even stronger.
