Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 732 Origin History, Ape Immortality (Two-in-One)

On the gray stone platform, Li Yuan was examining the giant bronze coffin.

This bronze coffin was as heavy as a star, and it was the only object in his control space that he could not budge an inch. He once felt it was extremely dangerous and wanted to kick it out.

but now……

"The three conditions for mastering the One—the Chaotic Sacred Body, the Origin Divine Embryo, and the Sacred Ultimate Dharma Form—I have already fulfilled two of them; only the Origin Divine Embryo remains..."

"This is the second life!"

"But how do we get this Origin God Embryo? We don't even know how many of the Origin God Clan are still alive. Are we supposed to find one of the Five Dragon Immortals to have?"

Li Yuan's emotions surged, and he felt that the weight of this divine coffin in his heart had suddenly risen several levels.

Although the destruction of the Origin God Dynasty was a huge culprit, this God Burial Coffin is just a coffin, so its impact shouldn't be too great, right?
"This is only the first effect of control. What about the second effect? ​​Could we even live a third life?"

Li Yuan even suspected that the divine coffin contained the 'Heavenly Heart', or perhaps, a great medicine?
Legend has it that even the most potent elixirs might grant a cultivator a second life…

"Om~"

After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan stepped into the secret realm of the Divine Burial Coffin. Before his eyes, light and shadow intertwined, and in the darkness, six light gates appeared one by one.

Two of the doors were open, and four were closed.

"senior?"

Li Yuan bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

There was complete silence in the darkness, and no response came.

"senior?"

Li Yuan tried several times but found no response. He wondered if the person was in seclusion or had blocked his visits.

"It might be the latter..."

The image of that annoying black cat flashed through his mind, and Li Yuan didn't try again. He thought for a moment and stepped into the first light gate. He wanted to see how the Five Dragon Immortals at the peak of the fourth realm were different from those at the third realm.

"boom!"

A moment later, Li Yuan fell out of the portal.

"...Is the difference really that big?"

Li Yuan's mind was buzzing wildly, and it took him a while to calm down.

Compared to the third realm, the Five Dragon Immortal at the peak of the fourth realm has undergone a tremendous transformation. The power unleashed by his various supernatural abilities terrified him, and he had no chance to get close at all.

His soul was annihilated by a single strike of the 'God King's Guillotine'.

"At the peak of the fourth realm, her Dharma Realm is already taking shape. Even without cultivating physical supernatural abilities, it would be difficult to engage her in close combat unless one could break through her Origin Divine City in one strike..."

Li Yuan gained a lot from this one attempt.

He gained a deeper understanding of the battles between cultivators of the four realms, and also confirmed that this person remained his 'guiding light'.

"Can I fight again if I can cultivate my innate divine power? No, I need to at least reach the fourth realm of perfection, master the Origin Divine Fist, and imprison the second ferocious beast. Only then will I have a chance of winning."

After calming down from the shock of being beheaded, Li Yuan couldn't help but glance at the first door again.

After four battles, he believed that the difference between himself and the Five Dragon Immortals in terms of physical body could be bridged by the talisman of military command, but the difference in the number of supernatural powers was too great.

If he wanted to defeat the Five Dragon Immortals in white robes head-on, he felt he needed to cultivate at least several great supernatural abilities, including offensive, defensive, escape, and esoteric techniques.

"A guiding light."

Li Yuan was not upset by his defeat; in fact, he thought it was a good thing, as it served as a mirror for building a more solid foundation.

Immediately, he stepped into the second door of light.

……

Dongxuan City.

"A supreme overlord!"

By the window of the restaurant, Li Yuan was browsing through the intelligence he had collected. Although he had not found any information related to Tianxin, his understanding of the Origin Divine Dynasty had increased significantly.

Originating in the Sixth Era, the Divine Dynasty was at its peak.

In this era of divine dynasties, twelve divine kings reigned supreme, dominating all the heavens, and all realms submitted to them.

While it is certainly not as powerful as the first God Emperor's reign when he dominated the world of Guixu, it has still achieved a balance with the Weitian Dao Sect.

"The present world originates from the void, returning to the heavens."

As Li Yuan flipped through the ancient scrolls, he felt his horizons broaden considerably.

The most prosperous year for the Weitian Dao Sect was naturally during the reign of its first Divine Emperor. At that time, all the true disciples of the Weitian Dao Sect had to go to court to receive imperial decrees and their salaries.

In fact, people would even scramble to go!
Nothing more than the origin of the divine dynasty that governs all realms and controls the incense offerings!

"After the Sixth Era, the Weitian Dao Sect was finally able to intervene in the present world and break free from the influence of the Origin Divine Dynasty. During this period, it experienced an invasion by the Realms of Return to Nothingness..."

Reflecting on the past and present, Li Yuan has gained a deeper understanding of the current state of affairs.

He felt that the creation of 'good deeds' by the later Weitian Dao Sect was probably closely related to his years of serving under the Divine Dynasty.

“The Daoist sect has capable people. Once they perform good deeds, they not only break free from the constraints of the present world, but even turn around and constrain the present world.”

Li Yuan felt a pang of emotion.

The struggle over the continuation of incense offerings has spanned from ancient times to the seventy-two centuries of origin.

Before the ancient times, there were countless races, each with its own supreme ruler. The human race was weak but numerous, and was favored by all the other races. Large and small races alike kept large numbers of humans.

Until the 'Divine Rune Path' appeared out of nowhere.

Even without spiritual roots, as long as one has divine patterns, one can absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even nourish oneself, change one's innate qualities, and possess various supernatural powers and Dao bodies.

The balance of power shifted, and the human race prospered, but the struggle over the continuation of the family line never ceased.

The Origin Divine Dynasty was born amidst the bloody battles of various races, aided by the efforts of the Weitian Dao Sect, but more importantly, because the myriad races had been fighting for far too long.

However, the struggle over incense offerings did not stop after the establishment of the Origin God Dynasty, until the Weitian Dao Sect created the "Incense Offering Method", which allowed everyone to collect incense offerings themselves.

Yuan currency was thus born, and afterwards, the struggle gradually subsided.

In fact, even in the 73rd century of Origin, the struggle for the continuation of the ancestral temple still existed.

"Origin, Daoist Sect, Return to the Void, Another World".

Li Yuan gathered intelligence, which originated from the 72nd century and can be divided into three major forces.

Among the three major forces, the Guixu Otherworld is the strongest. Therefore, the Weitian Dao Sect and the Origin Divine Dynasty have often joined forces and opened up Guixu nine times, destroying countless other dimensions.

The counterattack from the Otherworld of Guixu was also fierce. In this sixth era of origin, news of the destruction of that star field could be seen from time to time.

"Ultimately, the Origin God Dynasty was destroyed..."

Li Yuan closed the ancient scroll and walked out of the restaurant.

Dongxuan City was bustling with activity. The wide streets were lined with buildings in exotic styles, and there were many shops and vendors selling their wares.

The crowds were bustling and very lively.

Unlike the first secret realm of the Divine Burial Coffin, this second secret realm was more realistic, so realistic that he even had the illusion that he had traveled through time.

"The God-King's methods are truly unbelievable."

Feeling a mix of emotions, Li Yuan slowly walked out of the city and soon arrived at the foot of White Bone Mountain.

White Bone Mountain is said to be the skeleton of a great demon, hence the name. In reality, it looks no different from ordinary mountains and rivers.

"It's time to see the Grandmaster."

Li Yuan was even a little nervous.

He didn't know if his grandmaster could sense his Dao shadow inside the coffin of the god, but he felt that, regardless of whether he could or not, he should pretend that he could!
"Let's see if we can communicate..."

Thoughts raced through Li Yuan's mind.

In the White Bone Mountain, there were rugged mountain paths. Li Yuan measured them on foot to avoid offending his grandmaster, but he walked very fast and soon reached the heart of the mountain.

In the distance, he saw three thatched huts.

Nestled among the mountains, a clear spring flows around the gate, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

"That's our grandmaster?"

On a rock by the stream, a man sat cross-legged, seemingly breathing, while a water buffalo grazed leisurely behind him.

The Taoist priest wore a gray robe and had an unremarkable appearance. Apart from the robe, he owned nothing else.

Seemingly sensing Li Yuan's gaze, the Taoist priest looked up and calmly asked:

"Who is coming?"

"younger brother……"

Li Yuan almost blurted out "Greetings to my grandmaster!" but swallowed it back. Knowing that this person was indeed someone he could communicate with, he quickly bowed and said:
“I am Li Yuan, a junior, passing through this city. I heard that there are immortals cultivating in seclusion outside the city, so I have come to pay my respects.”

"Li Yuan".

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "I am Qingxuan, originally a cultivator from this star. I heard that there were evil spirits causing trouble in my hometown, so I returned home. I am not a true immortal."

"It really is the real person!"

Upon hearing the name 'Qingxuan', Li Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, but naturally bowed with delight.

His mind works very quickly.

The Divine Burial Coffin Secret Realm is certainly full of wonders, but isn't being able to communicate with the ancestor an immense stroke of luck?
Even though this grandmaster has not yet mastered the Dharma Heaven technique...

Qingxuan Daoist did not correct him, but said:

"What's the matter with you?"

"This disciple has admired the mysterious Dharma since childhood..."

Li Yuan carefully considered his words, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qingxuan Daoist raising his hand.

The Taoist priest pointed into the distance:
"There is a ferocious ape lurking in that horse farm. If you can subdue it, I might as well teach you a great technique."

"what?"

So decisively?

Li Yuan was startled. This Taoist was even easier to fool than the old man. He agreed to pass on his teachings after only half a sentence.
He immediately bowed and agreed:

"Disciple, please remember this."

"Go."

Without saying much, Daoist Qingxuan closed his eyes and entered meditation.

"Yes."

Li Yuan bowed and took his leave, displaying great courtesy.

……

"A Great Law!"

Beneath the White Bone Mountain, Li Yuan felt joy in his heart.

He felt that his master was a very generous person. As long as he subdued a fifth-realm ape demon, he would pass on a great technique to him.

This is such a great deal!

"Although I am only at the fourth realm, I have cultivated a great divine power. With the support of the Prison Suppression Divine Power and the Weapon Control Talisman, I may not be unable to defeat a mere fifth-realm ape demon!"

Li Yuan pondered to himself.

He has a very clear understanding of himself.

Although he has just broken through to the fourth realm, his foundation is too deep. It is no exaggeration to say that he is half of the peak of the fourth realm. If the magic power provided by the demon shadow is included, he is the peak of the fourth realm!
With the added blessing of the Commander of Weapons, if he can't defeat the Five Dragon Immortals or his grandmaster, how could he possibly be no match for a mere ape demon?
"Give it a try."

Li Yuan, having already intended to find someone to test his methods at the beginning of his journey through the Four Realms, and with ten thousand lives to squander in the Divine Burial Coffin Secret Realm, arrived outside the horse farm in the blink of an eye.

"Squeak~"

In the horse farm, one ape demon after another soared into the air, including more than ten ape demons who had reached the third realm of perfection.

But Li Yuan only flicked his finger, and a drop of Xuan Gang Heavy Water burst out of the air, instantly killing all the hundreds of ape demons!

As one of the earliest spells he practiced, the Xuan Gang Heavy Water had reached the level of eighty-six layers of magical restrictions. It looked like a drop, but in reality, it was as vast as the sea.

Once the Great Elixir is formed, all techniques are blessed by the Divine Realm. Even spells with the same restrictions will be far more powerful than those cast by cultivators of the Third Realm.

Not to mention the power of the Five Emperors and the double blessing of the Chaos Body; a single drop is enough to kill a demon from the Four Realms.

"what?"

Suddenly, Li Yuan reached out and grabbed, and streams of blood energy gathered, carrying a faint fragrance, and surprisingly, they did not dissipate.

"This second secret realm..."

Li Yuan was surprised.

In the first secret realm, he killed many strange beasts and monsters, but after killing them, they only dropped some coins. However, after killing the ferocious beasts in this second secret realm, their flesh and blood were left behind.

So realistic?

Li Yuan focused his mind and sensed it closely, discovering that this energy was extremely pure, unlike the convergence of divine runes, and more like genuine blood energy… “Roar~”

At that moment, a violent roar rang out from the horse farm.

A giant ape, over ten feet tall with fiery red fur, soared into the sky, its roar shaking the surrounding area. Even the distant Dongxuan City was affected, as if it were about to be torn apart by the sound waves.

"Not the real person."

Li Yuan frowned slightly and killed the violent ape with a flick of his finger.

This violent ape was clearly a wild demon, lacking even a single supernatural power, and its physique was weak. It was not much stronger than a third-realm ape demon and could be killed with a flick of its finger.

"A wild demon from the fifth realm."

Li Yuan made up his mind.

The difference between wild demons and demons with bloodline inheritance is like the difference between a true disciple of a sacred land and a rogue cultivator—the difference is enormous.

Immediately, he swept his sleeve, and with a loud 'boom,' the spirit horses and ape demons cried out in alarm as they were thrown into the mountains thousands of miles away.

"What about the Fifth Realm Ape Demon?"

Li Yuan was taken aback. His sweeping motion leveled the entire horse farm, but the Fifth Realm Ape Demon did not appear.

He focused his attention and sensed a fierce aura, which seemed to be lurking underground.

"Retreat?"

Li Yuan concealed his aura and walked towards the ape demon's secluded cultivation place.

……

"What about the ape demon?"

In the darkness, light and shadow flickered. The spirit of the bronze coffin transformed into a black cat, watching Li Yuan subdue the demon. However, it was also taken aback, as it failed to detect the ape demon's location.

"Something's wrong!"

"Something is wrong!"

The black cat was startled and almost bristled.

It is the spirit of the bronze coffin. Although most of its mental energy is used to contain the six secret realms, it still has great control over the secret realms inside the coffin.

But at this moment, when it scanned the area with its divine sense, it was surprised to find that it could not detect the ape demon's aura.

"Is this Your Excellency?"

The black cat suppressed its surprise and doubt and watched intently.

Behind it, Wulongxian had also woken up. Ever since Li Yuan broke through the first secret realm, she hadn't been able to sleep much.

……

Is this a secluded retreat place?

Deep within the former horse ranch, outside a flag gate, Li Yuan frowned.

This was an extremely unusual gate at first glance. It was pitch black, with various divine patterns interwoven and flowing on it. He felt dizzy when he looked at it.

"Is this a ban?"

Li Yuan was surprised and suspicious. He decisively changed his hand control. With the blessing of the hand control set, he could vaguely see an indescribable ancient character in the ever-changing and intertwining divine patterns.

"town?"

Li Yuan's pupils contracted. Just seeing that word made him feel that all his magical power and even his divine realm had become dormant.

"So the reason we were restricted from entering the horse farm before was because of this flag gate... What do these characters mean?!"

"town……"

Li Yuan focused his mind again, but he could no longer see the ancient character.

But that fleeting glimpse was enough to shake him to his core, making him realize that the ancient characters themselves were an extremely terrifying supernatural power.

Could something of this caliber be possessed by a mere fifth-realm ape demon?!
"boom!"

Inside the bronze coffin, the black cat's fur stood on end, as if it had been greatly frightened:

"The character 'Dao'?!"

"How could there be the character 'Dao' here?!"

The black cat bristled, and Wulongxian was also quite shocked.

Divine runes are the interweaving of the laws of heaven and earth, while the word "Dao" is the origin of divine runes. It is a word that can only be comprehended after tracing the origin of all kinds of divine runes and touching the Dao.

Each character of the Dao possesses incredible power.

"This……"

The black cat was terrified.

The moment it saw those words, it even had a terrifying illusion that its own spirituality had been suppressed and it had fallen into eternal silence.

"No, something's wrong!"

The black cat even wanted to shut down the light barrier and throw Li Yuan out of the secret realm, but to its horror, it seemed that it was impossible to do so!

The moment that word appeared, it lost control of that secret realm!
"In this ancient history that my great-uncle extracted, there is a supreme being suppressing some kind of evil spirit!"

Wu Longxian was surprised but not flustered. She did not believe that her great-uncle would not know what was in the ancient history she had extracted. It was very likely that the latter did it on purpose.

There must have been some communication between my great-uncle and the supreme being who suppressed this evil spirit!

"but why?"

Wu Longxian's mind was in turmoil, and while remaining vigilant, he continued to watch.

But to her and the black cat's surprise, Li Yuan paused for a moment and then decisively turned around.

"Something's wrong!"

Li Yuan sensed something was wrong and turned to leave.

But in the next instant, light suddenly appeared in the flag gate. Even Li Yuan didn't react in time. After a moment of distraction, he found himself in a strange starry sky.

This starry sky is deep and dark, with the only light coming from the stars not far away.

That star stood alone in the darkness, like a solitary island in the universe.

"What is this?"

Li Yuan's heart sank, and an indescribable emotion surged within him: pain, loneliness, despair, resentment, anger, and rage...

Countless negative emotions surged like a tidal wave, instantly turning his eyes red and even making him want to go crazy.

"wrong!"

Li Yuan decisively changed the control and isolated himself from external perception. Only then was he able to barely suppress the surging emotions.

Could this be a fifth-realm ape demon?
Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, and Li Yuan couldn't help but look out at the starry sky:

"Thief Cat, what kind of place is this?!"

"..."

Inside the bronze coffin, the black cat didn't even seem angry. It stared intently at the planet hanging in the darkness, oblivious to the Five Dragon Immortals calling to it.

"This energy..."

The black cat was terrified.

"Little Black? Little Black!"

The Five Dragon Immortals repeatedly tried to move Li Yuan out, but the black cat only woke up as if from a dream when she was about to do it herself.

"do not want!"

Wu Longxian frowned: "You recognize this place?"

"No, I don't know him."

The black cat bristled, as if facing a formidable enemy: "This aura is very similar to that of a colossal demon from many ages ago, who sought to rebel against the divine dynasty..."

"A giant demon that rebelled against the divine dynasty?"

Wu Longxian frowned: "It's still alive?"

"No, I don't know."

The black cat watched intently, ready to detonate the six secret realms and take the Five Dragon Immortals into the annals of time the moment the giant demon showed any sign of breaking free.

"Thief Cat, you're unreliable."

In the starry sky, Li Yuan forced himself to calm down. He vaguely felt that the changes here were probably unrelated to the spirit of the bronze coffin.

"Is this also a trial that the God-King prepared for the Five Dragon Immortals?"

Li Yuan felt something was amiss.

"call!"

At that moment, the void trembled slightly, and Li Yuan heard breathing sounds.

The sound of his breathing was so enormous, like a colossal monster swallowing the stars. Caught off guard, he fell into that star.

"Wow~"

Immediately, Li Yuan heard the sound of thousands of chains rattling.

He looked up and saw that beyond the stars, there were extremely complex chains of divine runes, intertwined with each other, forming a net of thousands or even tens of thousands of layers of divine runes.

And this star itself is also a huge sealing formation.

He could vaguely see the complex divine restrictions surging like a torrent within this star.

"What is being suppressed?"

Li Yuan felt his scalp tingle. He couldn't even leave. An invisible sealing force was also acting on him, allowing him to enter but not leave.

'Will I be able to get out if I die once?'

The thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, but he didn't dare to make a move. He suppressed the trembling in his heart and looked at the center of the star.

There stands a huge, sacred tree.

The tree trunk is jet black, with intricate and flowing divine patterns on it, and its branches and leaves are lush, bearing peaches.

This was a peach tree, the only source of light in the area.

Beneath the peach tree, a giant ape sat cross-legged, seemingly breathing in and out. Visibly, a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed out from the void and entered its mouth and nose.

The extremely vigorous blood and qi, even across thousands of miles, are as intense as fire.

"At least the eighth realm!"

Li Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat; this aura was far more terrifying than that of the Nine Extremes Heaven.

He cursed the black cat countless times in his heart, but could only muster up the courage to look at it, already preparing to call upon his master.

'From now on, I should report my whereabouts to my master more often...'

As Li Yuan pondered this, he suddenly thought of his grandmaster: "Could it be related to my grandmaster?"

As soon as this thought arose, Li Yuan's fear diminished considerably; he felt it was very likely!

Whether the one we just saw was our past master or our present master, this giant ape must be related to him!

"Perhaps, that is the ancestor of the current world!"

Li Yuan composed himself and walked towards the peach tree.

As you get closer, you can see that this giant ape is about eight or nine zhang tall, wearing a strange-looking coarse cloth robe, completely unaware that its black fur makes it unnecessary for such a garment.

His face was even more terrifying, with protruding fangs all over his mouth, exuding ferocity.

"Shh!"

In an instant, Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart and saw a pair of ape eyes as big as bowls and as red as blood.

"call!"

Immediately, he felt dizzy and disoriented. When he regained his balance, he found himself in the giant ape's palm. Looking up, he saw an extremely ferocious hairy face.

"How did you get in here?"

Accompanied by a gust of foul wind, Li Yuan heard the giant ape speak. Perhaps it had been many years since it had spoken, for its voice was hoarse and deep, like the scraping of a steel blade, making one's teeth ache.

Li Yuan answered while holding his breath:

"Reporting to senior, this junior doesn't know how I got in here. I just felt a moment of dizziness and then I fell into this place..."

"Are you lost?"

The giant ape suddenly burst into laughter, a hoarse and shrill sound that shook the entire star, causing endless divine runes to surge like a tide.
"In a moment of confusion, I fell into this place, where great demons and giants are nowhere to be found, and even Dao Lords and Heavenly Lords are hard to find. It is an ancient history that was specifically used to suppress my ape's longevity?"

……

P.S.: Uh, could you please give me a monthly pass?
