Chapter 270 Entering the Immortal Path, Qilin Immortal Venerable
Imperial artifacts, also known as supreme artifacts or imperial artifacts.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, imperial artifacts are no ordinary treasures.
Each imperial artifact is a supreme treasure forged from the life's cultivation of an ancient emperor, forged from his own ultimate laws, and contains the will and Dao essence of an ultimate powerhouse.
Even a slight awakening can unleash an aura of supreme power that shakes the heavens and myriad realms, annihilating all beings below the level of the Emperor.
It could even be said that in an era when the Great Emperor did not appear, if an imperial artifact were to be fully awakened, its power would be almost equivalent to the presence of an ancient Great Emperor in person.
Even figures like the Ancient Emperors and Celestial Venerables, who could only refine one such treasure in their entire lives, using their blood and sweat to create it, could only do so at most. This treasure was their "life treasure."
Otherwise, what is refined can only be considered a powerful magic weapon, not a supreme weapon.
Such weapons are incredibly powerful. Once fully activated, they are almost like the birth of a supreme being, terrifying beyond measure. Very few of them exist in the world.
In a sense, it is no more than a celestial artifact.
Moreover, if the environment changes, this thing could potentially evolve into a celestial artifact.
Looking across the entire universe, a faction that possesses even one imperial artifact to protect its clan is already enough to ensure its legacy for eternity.
Many sects and holy lands with a history of hundreds of thousands of years only possess a few sacred artifacts as their foundation.
"That's right, one hundred pieces." Xu Qing's voice clearly reached the ears of the Qilin Ancient Emperor. "If you can meet this condition, I will take you into that world."
One hundred pieces?
The Qilin Ancient Emperor felt a "buzz" in his brain, as if he had been instantly doused with a bucket of cold water.
How is that even possible?
Currently, there are only thirty or forty Dark Sovereigns surviving in the forbidden zones of life. Each Sovereign can only forge one Emperor Artifact in their lifetime. Even if we include all the Emperor Artifacts of the Supreme Sovereigns in the forbidden zones, plus those ancient families, ancient imperial lineages, and immortal dynasties, we still might not be able to gather a hundred Emperor Artifacts.
Moreover, even if a hundred imperial artifacts were placed in front of him, he would have no chance of subduing them.
As a figure of imperial power, the Qilin Ancient Emperor knew better than anyone the power of imperial artifacts. With three or four imperial artifacts fully restored, their power was comparable to that of a flawless ancient emperor.
If a hundred imperial artifacts were to awaken simultaneously, that power would be enough to crush the heavens and the earth, almost equivalent to all the Dark Sovereigns simultaneously achieving their ultimate sublimation.
Its power is unimaginable.
If he had the strength to subdue a hundred imperial artifacts, why would he be trapped in the forbidden zone, barely surviving?
They probably wouldn't even need to cut themselves, seal themselves in the immortal essence, and wait for the path to immortality to open; they would have already ascended to the immortal path in the mortal world.
"I never imagined that the journey to the Origin Continent would be so expensive." The Qilin Ancient Emperor's voice was full of disappointment.
"Does that mean I'll never have the chance to step into that world?"
"It's not entirely hopeless." Xu Qing tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, his tone calm yet pointing out a path. "Qilin, aren't there still dozens of Imperial Supremes in your hometown? You could try to bribe them."
"Bribery?" The Ancient Emperor of Qilin looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with astonishment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "That's probably impossible."
Which of those Dark Sovereigns hiding in the forbidden zones isn't extremely arrogant?
They all thought they were "the boss of heaven and second only to me," believing themselves to be ruthless characters who defied the heavens. Even the immortals believed they could kill them, and even created forbidden techniques for this purpose.
Let alone handing over imperial artifacts or bribing them, even discussing cooperation on equal footing depends on the other party's mood.
Trying to bribe these people is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"That's something you'll have to think about yourself." Xu Qing shrugged, his tone still calm. "Anyway, you can enter the Zhutian Pavilion anytime. Come find me again when you've collected a hundred Emperor-level artifacts."
The Ancient Emperor Qilin opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he didn't know where to begin.
"Hehe, actually there's another way."
Just then, Xu Qing suddenly changed the subject. He looked at the Qilin Ancient Emperor and said casually, "Aren't there dozens of Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zone? You take their magical artifacts, then kill all the Dark Supreme Beings without leaving a trace, and refine their remains into artifacts."
"In this way, we can gather at least seventy pieces, which is not a small number."
"The rest, we'll collect the supreme magical artifacts scattered across the myriad worlds and life-bearing planets. A hundred pieces will be more than enough."
Upon seeing the Pavilion Master speaking so solemnly, the Ancient Emperor of Qilin froze, a chill running down his spine.
"Huh? Isn't this about pacifying the Dark Forbidden Zone?"
"Pacify the Dark Forbidden Zone? Me? Even the Great Emperor Wushi couldn't accomplish this, and you expect me to do it?"
After considering the idea of killing all the Dark Sovereigns by himself, the Qilin Ancient Emperor decided to give up.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor was about to shake his head in rejection, but then he thought about it again and stopped.
With the Zhutian Pavilion there and Xu Qing's extraordinary abilities, perhaps I really do have a chance.
The golden age is approaching, the path to immortality will open, and darkness and turmoil will surely descend once more.
Now, with his extended lifespan and access to resources from the Heavenly Pavilion, he can make plans much earlier than other Dark Sovereigns.
With that thought, the Qilin Ancient Emperor vanished.
The next moment, he returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths once again.
With one step, one's figure has already reached the edge of the universe.
This place is where chaos and broken celestial bodies converge, and deep within it float fragments of heaven and earth enveloped in a thin layer of chaotic energy.
Broken galaxies and starry rivers are everywhere, with extinguished suns and shattered planets all enveloped in chaotic energy.
In this lifeless place, cultivators rarely come, but it has become an excellent place for the Qilin Ancient Emperor to refine treasures. He raised his hand and grabbed at the air, and that chaotic world was as if pulled by an invisible hand, crashing into his palm with a rumbling sound.
Immediately afterwards, the Qilin Ancient Emperor was enveloped in supreme divine light, which melted wisps of chaotic energy.
Within the palm of his hand, the boundless galaxy was continuously compressed and shaped, eventually condensing into ten round and translucent beads.
The pearl shimmered with seven-colored divine light, capable of penetrating even the void in chaos. Its surface faintly reflected the scene of flowing stars and rivers. With just a light touch, one could feel the immense pressure of heaven and earth, as heavy as the entire universe. These were ten genuine quasi-emperor level nine heavy artifacts, each one enough to make ordinary quasi-emperors fight tooth and nail for them.
"What is the Ancient Emperor Qilin doing?"
Deep within several dark forbidden zones of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, consciousnesses that had slumbered for many years were awakened by the extreme divine light of the Borderlands. They peered through the gaps in space and time at that chaotic land, their voices filled with doubt.
"It seems he's refining a treasure? He just woke up from his slumber. I thought he was going to engage in the Dark Turmoil to recover his energy, but he didn't. Instead, he's going to make a big fuss. Isn't that just wasting his lifespan?" A hoarse voice rang out, tinged with confusion.
"The golden age is coming soon, I guess he's planning to forge weapons for his children?" another consciousness guessed, its tone tinged with sarcasm.
"Foolish! To us, our descendants are nothing but food and drink. Is it worth wasting our own foundation like this?" A Dark Sovereign sneered, his tone full of disdain for the Qilin Ancient Emperor.
In their eyes, only becoming an immortal is the only goal; everything else can be discarded.
"Hehe, the Qilin Ancient Emperor never launched a Dark Turmoil. After sleeping for millions of years, his life force has long since withered. Now, if he wastes his power to refine these useless things, I think the day the path to immortality opens will be the day he dies." Some supreme beings even gloated, secretly hoping that there would be one less opponent vying for the opportunity to become an immortal.
"Hopefully he won't launch a dark upheaval before the path to immortality opens, otherwise if he devours too many, we'll have nothing left to eat." The Supreme Being's focus was also on life forms that could extend lifespan, his tone indifferent.
"Another fellow Daoist who fought for the crossing has been lost." Someone said in a calm tone, it was hard to tell whether it was sadness or joy.
One by one, the supreme beings expressed their opinions, all waiting to see what would happen. They did not understand why the Ancient Emperor Qilin would do this.
Having waited for millions of years, they suddenly expend their energy on meaningless things.
For these ancient emperors and celestial beings whose vital energy and blood were depleted, every move they made was a drain on their lifespan and lifespan.
However, the Qilin Ancient Emperor was still forging weapons that he had no use for.
This is simply a foolish move.
What are those who are about to attain enlightenment, what are those who are quasi-emperors at the ninth level? Before the laws of the imperial way, they are all ants. A single slap can kill millions or even billions of them!
Let alone forging ten weapons at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor realm, even forging a million would be of no use whatsoever.
However, what those Dark Sovereigns did not know was that the Qilin Ancient Emperor forged these weapons in order to exchange them for elixirs within the Heavenly Pavilion.
Back in the Pavilion of All Heavens.
Seeing that Xu Qing was still sitting in the main seat, the Qilin Ancient Emperor quickly stepped forward and held up ten quasi-emperor level heavy weapons with both hands: "Sect Master, I would like to exchange for another ten million pills."
After Xu Qing's explanation of the primordial universe, the Qilin Ancient Emperor suddenly felt that exchanging for millions of pills was perfectly normal.
It's no big deal, only a few million.
Xu Qing glanced at the ten Chaos Pearls, then lightly lifted his fingertip to collect these quasi-emperor-level artifacts, each containing the weight of a galaxy, into his palm. He nodded calmly, "It's acceptable."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it. Suddenly, golden light appeared in the void above the pavilion, and millions of round pills appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of the Qilin Ancient Emperor.
This time, the number of pills was ten times greater than before, and the life essence surrounding them was so dense that it condensed into a visible mist. Just inhaling a wisp of it could extend the lifespan of a saint-level cultivator by a thousand years.
Immersed in it, even ancient sages could live for tens of millions of years.
Without saying a word, the Ancient Emperor Qilin reached out and took all the pills, putting them into his mouth.
In an instant, his limbs and bones were filled with life essence, all the remaining traces of time disappeared, and his Sendai consciousness was filled with a vast vitality.
He clearly sensed that his lifespan was rapidly increasing, skyrocketing!
From the previous 70,000 to 80,000 years, it broke through 100,000 years, 500,000 years, and finally exceeded the million-year mark. "A million years—I can actually have a lifespan of over a million years?!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.
In this era that is almost the end of Dharma, where even the Great Emperor cannot live for more than 20,000 years, he actually has a lifespan of a million years, which is something that was unthinkable in the past.
He subconsciously closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to sense the changes brought about by this lifespan, but suddenly noticed a more mysterious anomaly.
His abdomen glowed with light, the sound of scriptures echoed within his Dao Palace, the divine power of the four poles corresponding to his limbs flowed, and a great dragon on his spine soared up and disappeared into the sky, emitting a dragon roar that shook the heavens. Finally, his skull shone with extreme brilliance, countless raindrops of light fell, and the celestial platform roared.
Within the Qilin Ancient Emperor's platform, his primordial spirit stirred restlessly, exhibiting a sense of sublimation, as if about to make its ultimate leap!
This commotion was almost identical to the scene when he broke through to become an emperor.
However, he already possessed the Supreme Dao Fruit, and now his Qi and blood are perfectly complete. Reaching the level of an ancient emperor is far more than just becoming an emperor again.
He had seen this feeling described in legends; there was only one possibility!
"This leap will grant immortality! It will make us true immortals!" The Qilin Ancient Emperor instantly understood, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he always vaguely sensed an invisible constraint, a kind of hindrance, making it difficult to touch the threshold of immortality no matter how he cultivated.
But at this moment, when the Sendai was completely repaired and his lifespan and blood energy were at their peak, the Qilin Ancient Emperor finally sensed that the shackles had completely disappeared as if ice and snow were melting away.
"This...this means that I am now within the Pavilion of All Heavens, and I can actually touch upon the possibility of becoming an immortal?" The Ancient Emperor of Qilin's voice trembled slightly.
No, that's only natural.
Once his injuries have healed and his body is flawless, he will no longer be suppressed in this place that transcends countless universes, and will have enough power to make that ultimate leap!
Boom!!!
In an instant, the five secret realms of the Ancient Emperor Qilin—the Sea of Wheels, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform—resonated together, emitting dazzling immortal light.
He succeeded in his leap and transformed into a powerful immortal!
In this degenerate age where immortality is impossible, he can sweep away all enemies in the world and possesses unfathomable divine power.
"We've waited too long for this day!"
Having shed his mortal roots, the Qilin Ancient Emperor's body shone with radiance, exuding an aura of immortality, and he possessed immeasurable combat power.
Today, the Qilin Ancient Emperor possesses a flawless physical body, an indestructible primordial spirit, and an ever-renewing magical power, achieving immortality in the Dharma-ending Age!
"Becoming an immortal is this easy?!"
The Ancient Emperor Qilin found it unbelievable.
He originally only wanted to accumulate qi and blood, preparing to cross the path to immortality or kill the Dark Supreme to accumulate imperial artifacts.
But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly became an immortal.
This change happened too fast.
Feeling the changes in his physical strength, the Ancient Emperor Qilin felt that at this moment, he could kill his former self with just a finger!
The so-called ancient emperors and celestial beings are nothing but insignificant before my eyes now.
The Qilin Immortal Venerable was extremely excited about having a lifespan of almost immortality.
"No, to be precise, only in a world rich in immortal matter can one be considered to have immortality." But upon closer inspection, the Qilin Immortal Venerable felt that there was something different from what he had thought.
"In the Dharma-ending Age, even true immortals may not live for hundreds of millions of years; their lifespan is still very limited."
This kind of immortality, achieved only with the help of the environment, is naturally not true immortality.
"To achieve true immortality, one may need to reach the Immortal King realm." A hint of understanding flashed in the eyes of the Qilin Immortal Venerable. "At that time, one will be able to create the universe and become the source of laws and Dao, thus achieving true immortality."
