Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 28 Summary of Experience
Jiang Bai quickly found what he was looking for in the memories of the serpent, the Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation, and the prehistoric monster.

The secrets of the mythological era, the creative experience of the Annihilation Heavenly Art, the cultivation methods of the previous era, and the figures of the Emperor and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Combining this with the memories of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and others that he had previously obtained, Jiang Bai said he could say that the Mythical Era was already transparent to him.

But for Jiang Bai right now, the most important thing is the process by which the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation created the Celestial Art of Annihilation.

The Great Dao cultivated by the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana is the Great Dao of Nirvana, a Great Dao that leads to life through death.

However, in the memory of the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, he was originally a weak being from a weak race in the mythological era, who embarked on the path of cultivation with the help of a few scriptures bestowed upon him by a passing Taoist cultivator.

However, he was not very talented. After working hard and overcoming many difficulties to cultivate to the second level of the Sendai Heaven, he was stopped by the Immortal Three-Slaying Dao.

After two thousand years of bitter torment and resentment in the mortal world, the young Celestial Venerable of Nirvana finally died.

As the saying goes, the Immortal 3rd Path is a major obstacle on the path of cultivation, killing countless people.

Perhaps due to extreme resentment, or perhaps after enduring two thousand years of torment, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation had accumulated enough power, and he... came back to life.

Having walked the path between life and death once more, the Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation experienced a complete transformation in his talent, aptitude, and cultivation.

The hidden injuries in my body have all healed, and my lifespan has become more abundant, as if I have been completely reborn.

From this experience of death and resurrection, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation cut out the Great Dao of Annihilation in the Immortal Realm of the Third Dao Severing Stage.

From then on, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana embarked on a vigorous and rapid struggle for the throne, eventually becoming an invincible Celestial Venerable.

After attaining enlightenment, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana was in high spirits. He believed that even if Jiang Bai could not become an immortal, he could still live in the mortal world because he had the experience of dying once.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana believed that his lifespan was nearing its end.
Afterwards, he could repeat the annihilation of his youth, so he diligently studied annihilation and rebirth, and materialized them into scriptures, creating the Nirvana Heavenly Art.

In the process of creating the Nirvana Heavenly Art, the Nirvana Heavenly Venerable also observed and studied many people who lived a second life, summarizing their experiences.

However, having died once, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana was somewhat afraid of death. He passed on the Nirvana Heavenly Technique to many people, instructing them to cultivate Nirvana.

Some people achieve Nirvana, like the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, and their cultivation advances rapidly.

Some people fail to achieve annihilation and simply vanish without a trace.

The probability of successfully achieving annihilation is one in ten thousand, which is ridiculously low.

Moreover, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana discovered that the higher a person's cultivation level, the more difficult it is for them to successfully achieve Nirvana and live another life.

After that, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana began to study the method of "living a second life".

That kind of complete self-reliance in living a second life.

In his later years, as he was about to enter his second incarnation, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana lost his nerve and chose to sever himself.

Jiang Bai understood the mindset of the Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation at that time, because the Heavenly Venerable of Longevity, the Emperor of Prison Suppression, and the Serpent Transformation all had this mindset—they were cowardly.

As I said before, "living a second life" is not some earth-shattering secret in the universe. Every supreme ruler who does not want to die has studied it to some extent.

However, to live a second life alone, relying solely on oneself, has a fatal prerequisite: being near death.

Like the White-Clad God King Jiang Taixu, Ye Fan, and Guan Cheng in the original work, they can only attempt this when they are on the verge of death and cannot be influenced by any external factors.

Otherwise, death is a constant threat.

Therefore, the method of "living a second life" is truly dangerous. Unlike transforming into a chaotic body, which you can directly transform once you understand it thoroughly and accumulate enough knowledge, this method is different.

Unlike Jiang Bai's Nirvana before he attained enlightenment, which was performed while he was severely injured, risking his life and taking a gamble.

It has to be normal, like someone who's about to die.

"But this life is definitely a crucial one on the path to immortality in the mortal world, and it will probably determine the combat strength after completing the path to immortality in the mortal world."

A resolute glint flashed in Jiang Bai's eyes.

In Jiang Bai's understanding, the Red Dust Immortals are also divided into levels of combat power. The strongest one should be Wu Shi, who became the Supreme Heavenly Emperor in two lifetimes and single-handedly resisted the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the native Red Dust Immortals of the strange world for many years.

The weakest should be the native immortals of this strange world, who most likely relied on longevity substances and spent many lifetimes grinding their way up. The second weakest should be the Undying Emperor, who was reborn through innate talent by bathing in imperial blood.

It takes a lot of time to achieve Nirvana.

Furthermore, according to Jiang Bai's deduction, if a person lives long enough and has high enough talent, they can even reach the level of "immortal".

But this will most likely be the end of one's life.

"Therefore, if you don't want to be a weakling in the mortal world, you must take the path of 'living out your second life' on your own."

"This is the most crucial lifetime."

"What I have now is that I have lived three lifetimes together, so I have lived long enough and have accumulated enough immortal essence within myself and with the help of all living beings. I can struggle on the edge of life and death."

"And I also have the God of faith, which is my great healing gift package."

I must say, having faith in God makes me a very useful tool.

Not only can it restore health in critical moments, but it can also help with the main body's research and other work on a regular basis.

They work hard without complaint and don't even ask for a salary.

After a quick calculation, Jiang Bai realized that it had taken him a thousand years to view the memories of the three supreme beings.

Having left my secluded retreat, I, a believer in God, have already lived a second life, having taken from all corners of the universe, and have dismissed all those Jiang Bai was studying.

The meticulously compiled research experience, along with the events that occurred within the past thousand years, was all organized by the faith in God and passed on to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai looked at the God of Faith with increasing satisfaction, and once again exclaimed, "Perfect tool!"

In the past thousand years, I, the God of Faith, have opened up the inheritances of the supreme beings in the forbidden zones that Lin Bai killed, using them for trade with all living beings.

The beings of the universe did not disappoint Jiang Bai's expectations, offering countless explorations and researches on the methods of achieving immortality over the past thousand years.

One particular road caught Jiang Bai's attention.

"The method of fusion".

By fusing one's own powerful primordial spirit with that of the other, whoever retains more of the primordial spirit will have the physical body and primordial spirit, and will also gain everything from the other.

It is a method of possession, which is different from the fantasy inheritance of Fengming.

However, Jiang Bai saw something else.

"The Carefree Celestial Venerable wants to fight me."

"This is a blatant declaration of war."

Jiang Bai had a high opinion of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, describing him as a very charismatic and cautious person.

His demonic nature lies in the fact that he is a very studious person who most likely has never instigated any dark upheavals, but has engaged in possession of others' bodies.

Very complicated.

The caution stemmed from the fact that he was one of the few who hadn't been lured out of the forbidden zone by the Emperor's promise of becoming an immortal.

Jiang Bai saw from the memories transmitted by the God of Faith that the Carefree Celestial Venerable had sent people to exchange for a method of nourishing life with the power of faith.

"They'll have to try to get back to their peak form to beat me."

"It makes people look forward to it."

Jiang Bai expressed that he was also very confident.

"But this is good too. You all jump out and let me kill a wave of people until the rest are terrified and dare not easily emerge. Only then can I walk safely through my second life and step into my fourth life."

Jiang Bai's eyes flickered. The Forbidden Zone Supreme was a good thing. As long as you killed it fast enough, you could get the Longevity Immortal Essence, cultivation experience, and even hone your combat skills.
