My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World
Chapter 26 Rootless
This is also the Rootless Tribulation among the three tribulations of the Boundless Sacred Body.
The so-called rootless calamity is because the immeasurable holy body is too defiant of heaven and has boundless supernatural powers, so its roots must be severed and its bloodline and karma severed.
For example, Zhao's father and mother must not continue to exist.
If they continue to exist, Zhao Xuan will definitely find a way to transform them into Boundless Holy Bodies as well.
Besides Zhao Xuan, they had two other sons. Naturally, they wanted their family to be together and enjoy happiness, so they would try to get Zhao Xuan to also transform their two brothers into Boundless Sacred Bodies.
These people have descendants, and their descendants are endless; surely they can all become immeasurable holy bodies.
This leads to the Rootless Tribulation, which presents you with a choice: whether to choose blood ties or the path of cultivation.
Moreover, you must make a decision immediately; there will be no time for you to coordinate.
This is also why Zhao Xuan cannot help them cultivate; the three treasures of Zhao's father and mother are locked away by fate.
The Heavenly Stems Squad is because they are servants, servants of the Way.
Therefore, one can receive the grace of the Tao.
Just like Haotian and Yaochi in the primordial world, they became the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress because they were servants of the Dao Ancestor.
Even further, even if Zhao Xuan had not cultivated the Boundless Sacred Body, Zhao's mother would still have died.
They might even die a more tragic death.
Back then, Zhao Xuan suddenly decided to leave Kaoshan Village. The following year, when he was preparing to return to Kaoshan Village to celebrate the festival with his parents, he suddenly decided not to go back because of a small matter.
This was a preordained premonition; if he did not leave, Kaoshan Village would surely suffer a great calamity.
For example, if the Akabane Cult's plan is thwarted, will they retaliate?
Will Zhao Mingcheng threaten Zhao Xuan with his father and mother in order to seize the sixty-year fortune of the Zhao Ming generation?
This is all possible.
But none of this happened after Zhao Xuan left.
The Akabane Cult wanted to find a backing village, but because the royal family had made preparations, their plan could not proceed.
They wanted to take revenge on Zhao Xuan, but since Zhao Xuan had gained the allegiance of ten Grandmasters of the Heavenly Stems Squad, it would cause them too much loss, so they let it go.
Without the pull of good fortune and without a backing village, Zhao Mingcheng could no longer use his parents to threaten Zhao Xuan.
These were all confessions made by Zhao Mingcheng in his letter, and calculated by Zhao Xuan using the power of the Ziwei Destiny and divine authority.
It was because the Crimson Feather Sect had mentioned Zhao Xuan before, and his Ziwei Destiny had sensed it.
As for whether Zhao Xuan's destiny brings misfortune to other close relatives, that is certainly true.
Zhao Xuancheng practiced the sacred way of military strategy, but he was gentle and refined, and was once respected as a Confucian general.
As a result, he repeatedly broke down in front of Zhao Xuan, and even took it seriously, constantly increasing his power to attack Zhao Xuan, which ultimately led to his death by crashing into Wei Lai.
Although they were not punished, they were secretly blacklisted by the Sheep clan.
This is no small matter. As mentioned earlier, each emperor in history was protected by the Twelve Divine Beasts.
This is because the Twelve Earthly Branches can guide the human race's fortune to one person.
In the beginning, the twelve Earthly Branches might each choose their own people, and then the conquerors would be gradually subdued by the Human Emperor, who would gather the fortune of many emperors.
Zhao Mingcheng has been blacklisted by the Sheep Clan, which will add an extra step for him if he wants to become the Human Emperor.
Now Zhao Xuancheng dares not refer to himself as an ancestor in front of Zhao Xuan, but rather as a fellow Daoist.
Although he had sensed everything all along, Zhao Xuan still couldn't help but feel sad.
For this reason, he guarded the graves of Zhao's father and mother for ten years, and in those ten years, he built a tomb for them in their final resting place.
Using the power of reincarnation as a guide, their souls are preserved.
He used the power of all things (the collective name for all the power within Zhao Xuan's body) to reintegrate the souls of the two into their bodies.
If that's all there is to it, then the newborn Zhao's father and mother are nothing more than living corpses, or even zombies.
Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered the immeasurable supernatural power talisman he had kept for nearly two hundred years, which allowed him to transform into a human form.
He infused the power of the supernatural talismans into their bodies, recreating the universe and forming a new spiritual embryo for rebirth.
Perhaps hundreds of years, perhaps thousands of years, perhaps tens of thousands of years..., a soul and bloodline will be born within the spiritual embryo of heaven and earth, unchanged, but lacking memories, severing the sacred bond with Zhao Xuan.
The Tomb of Rebirth is guarded by a serpent that has attained perfect enlightenment through the Three Jewels, with half of its body severed and brought to perfection. A stone tablet stands there, inscribed with the author's sacred insights: "The Song of Rootlessness."
The song goes:
Rootless calamity, rootless birth, from ancient times, achieving a sacred name.
Calamity is not calamity, life is not life; the Great Dao is ruthless and difficult to understand.
Rootless, rootless, illusion and truth are not empty.
Calamity is calamity, life is life; only when it becomes immeasurable can it be empty.
Whether it's calamity or love, let's talk about the present after all eternity has passed.
It took another ten years to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Three Treasures.
Fifty years later, Zhao Xuancheng achieved the Great Perfection of the Three Treasures and transcended the third tribulation of the Immeasurable Holy Tribulation, the Tribulation of Obstruction of the Path, also known as the Tribulation of Dao Hatred.
On the day of your attainment of enlightenment, the one hundred most outstanding Saints who have not yet achieved the Boundless Saint Body throughout the ages will manifest through the power of Heaven to debate with you on the Dao.
Ask yourself where you fall short. If you can withstand the onslaught of these people, you will attain immeasurable holy health.
You can't resist. Perhaps next time someone faces a tribulation that hinders their path, you will be among them.
On that day, the thunderclouds in the ninth heaven's thunderstorm layer had condensed into an endless black expanse, with a thickness of ten thousand meters.
Zhao Xuancheng stood beneath thunderclouds with a twelve-story pagoda above his head.
He declared: "I, Zhao Xuancheng, entered the rank at the age of seven, crossed the ninth rank to the Grandmaster realm in a hundred days, became a Great Grandmaster at the age of twelve, and became a god at the age of thirty."
Now, at the age of 720, I have finally achieved the Great Perfection of the Three Jewels. To cultivate the sacred path of military strategy, one must fight the most intense battles in the most dangerous places and defeat all enemies.
Lightning tribulation, come and fight!
The many divine beings who came to witness the calamity were stunned and speechless.
This is not a reliable reference.
Wouldn't undergoing tribulation through thunderclouds increase the intensity of the tribulation and put more danger on yourself?
Zhao Xuan, who was hiding to the side to support Zhao Xuancheng, scoffed.
Forget it. If you really have the guts, give me back your one-element heavy water barrier.
Besides, what are you pretending to be with your boundless supernatural powers and strong physique? Are you sure the thunderstorm layer is the home ground of the lightning tribulation and not your home ground?
After Zhao Xuancheng shouted "Come and fight!", boundless thunderous power flashed and gathered in the thunderclouds in the sky. After each flash of thunder, the thunder transformed into figures wearing dragon robes.
These are the most outstanding among those who have not yet achieved the Boundless Holy Body.
Human Ancestor Sui, Human Ancestor Chao, Human Ancestor Zi, Human Emperor Xi, Human Emperor Yan, Human Emperor Ji...
Indeed, among all those who failed to achieve the Boundless Sacred Body throughout the ages, the most outstanding individuals were the ancestors and emperors of the human race.
The most numerous are from ancient and prehistoric times.
It's not that these people lack the qualifications to achieve the Boundless Holy Body, but rather that time doesn't allow it. The resources required to become the Boundless Holy Body are too numerous, and the power of faith was rarely explored in ancient and prehistoric times.
Therefore, for the sake of humanity, these people must improve their cultivation level in order to gain stronger combat power.
Without the Boundless Sacred Body, it is difficult to achieve the True Emperor Realm. However, these people have all briefly stayed in the Human Emperor Realm under the blessing of the human race's fortune. They can also ascend to the Human Emperor Realm again by paying a price.
Many of these people are not dead yet, but are now in a deep sleep.
But it's almost certain that these people are all at the Emperor Realm.
The Heavenly Tribulation is the projection of these people's power during the Fourth Realm, manifesting it as lightning.
The four realms of antiquity and the four realms of prehistoric times, hehe...
Zhao Xuancheng dared not be careless. The twelve-tiered pagoda above his head transformed into a towering structure, from which twelve military formations emerged.
The total number of people exceeds 100,000.
This demonstrates Zhao Xuancheng's military prowess, his ability to command troops on the battlefield.
The Hundred Schools of Thought originated in ancient times. In ancient times, there was no concept of awakening supernatural powers through talismans, but that does not mean that these people did not possess supernatural powers.
Upon reaching the sacred realm, they can also transform their power into supernatural abilities.
Each of the hundred schools has several methods for cultivating supernatural powers.
If a practitioner today has sufficient knowledge of the various schools of thought, he can cultivate the supernatural powers of all schools, also known as the divine powers of the holy path.
The twelve-tiered pagoda above Zhao Xuancheng's head is called the "Vessel for Entrusting the Dao".
After the three treasures are perfected, each goes about its own business. The question then becomes how to integrate the essence, energy, and spirit.
The traditional solution has always been to create a powerful artifact, incorporating the three treasures into it, and then using the artifact to suppress them, causing them to passively merge together.
If the sacrificial vessels are of low quality, it will be difficult to integrate the Three Treasures if you rashly incorporate them.
This process is irreversible.
This is also the tribulation of the Dao in the three tribulations of the Boundless Holy Body.
During the fusion process, this powerful artifact will transform from tangible to intangible, becoming a treasure for cultivators to rely on for their spiritual path.
It can continuously improve along with the cultivator's realm.
In other words, even if they fail, the cultivator will still have an additional magical artifact that can be continuously improved.
The ancient humans were known for their fiery tempers. The flames in the hands of the Fire Ancestor transformed into a sea of fire, rushing towards Zhao Xuancheng. Then, a bird's nest appeared in the hands of the Nest Ancestor, shimmering with boundless light. Next came the bone needles in the hands of the Zi Ancestor, the music of the Xi Emperor's zither, the alchemy furnace of the Yan Emperor, and the sword of the Ji Emperor…
Zhao Xuancheng's treasured possession is called the "Soldier-Nourishing Tower".
There are twelve layers, and each layer contains 18,000 divine weapons, namely knives, spears, swords, halberds, bows, shields, maces, hammers, daggers, tridents, lances, and spears.
Each divine weapon is made of divine metal and rare treasures, forged with thunder and fire, and imbued with the spiritual power of battlefield aura.
Each divine weapon can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create a divine weapon master to serve it.
That is, there are a total of 129,660 divine weapons, and 129,600 divine weapon masters.
Those are the twelve military formations.
If Zhao Xuancheng hadn't been inside the thunderclouds, with his strong physique and ability to absorb the continuous power of thunder, he wouldn't have been able to create so many divine weapons all at once.
The army, consisting of 129,060 divine warriors, included an elephant cavalry formation. The divine warriors were heavily armored and wielded weapons such as hammers, halberds, and axes, with a heavily armored elephant beneath them.
There was a cavalry formation, and the divine soldiers, dressed in light armor and carrying bows, rode large birds formed from lightning, circling in the sky.
There are also water riders, riding flying fish formed from lightning.
Tiger riders, wolf riders...
As the twelve armies shifted their formation, a thick fog enveloped the entire thundercloud, obscuring everything except the sounds of fighting, clashing weapons, and howling wild beasts...
This is a military strategist's elaborate deception formation, the so-called "crossing the sea under cover of darkness."
Zhao Xuan was not worried about Zhao Xuancheng's safety at all.
To be honest, the "obstruction of the path" sounds scary, but it's not that bad.
Without the permission of those former emperors, how could the Heavenly Tribulation manifest the power imprints of these emperors?
It must be understood that emperors cannot be insulted. One hundred emperors with the fortune of the emperor, and at least one hundred imperial artifacts, are equivalent to at least two hundred powerful emperors. Even the power imprints are not something that can be played with by future generations of killers.
At the same time, these emperors and powerful figures were all human, and they would not really obstruct the path of their descendants. When a genius appeared among the human race, these sages would be overjoyed, so why would they obstruct the path?
It's about the human race playing along with the Heavenly Tribulation, taking the opportunity to transcend endless time and reveal their principles and laws to future generations, while also helping them forge and upgrade the artifacts that embody the Dao.
This is also why Zhao Xuancheng set up the Heaven-Deceiving Array—to obscure the perception of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Of course, if you're a complete idiot and don't even have the means to deceive the heavens like the Heaven-Deceiving Array, then don't blame your ancestors for being heartless.
We cannot allow the Heavenly Tribulation to discover our scheming, which has lasted for millennia, because of you...
