My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World
Chapter 49 Southern Barbarians
As for flying, Zhao Xuan looked at the towering Tai Sui flesh wall and gave up the idea.
Why did the Tai Sui flesh wall only grow to ten thousand feet? One reason is the constraint of the spirit of Beichuan, which not only increased its size but also its quality.
Secondly, there is misfortune above ten thousand feet.
Back then, the Great Emperor of Burial Heaven drove the gods and saints to the Heavenly Realm, which was originally located on Earth.
It wasn't until humanity began exploring the stars that they realized how vast the world was.
Subsequently, in the early period of the near-ancient era, great human cultivators began to leave Earth. For the safety of Earth, Emperor Wu Geng of the Shang Dynasty gathered all the great human beings and used his great supernatural powers to exile the celestial realm from Earth.
From then on, spatial rifts began to appear from time to time in the vast sky above Earth. This was because the celestial realm had been exiled, and the space where the celestial realm was originally located was unstable.
Empress Qin came to transform the land, setting up the Seven Stars Divination Formation to bring the spatial power of the four directions (east, west, south, and north) into the Central Plains, thus completing the space of the Central Plains sky.
However, the vast sky above the four regions became a forbidden zone, even more dangerous.
Therefore, Zhao Xuan's attempt to fly in from ten thousand feet above would be an extremely risky move.
Furthermore, Zhao Xuan's mastery of the power of the void actually makes it easier for him to cause changes in space under these circumstances, making him even more dangerous.
As for sensing and avoiding it in advance, that's basically impossible. There are countless spatial rifts everywhere, making it impossible to escape.
If going to heaven is impossible, then the only option is to burrow underground.
Zhao Xuan regained his physical form and began contemplating the possibility of escaping underground.
However, Zhao Xuan did not know the technique of escaping underground.
If escaping underground were easy, the Five Elements Great Escape wouldn't have become one of the Thirty-Six Divine Powers of the Heavenly Gang.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers are the most mysterious of the thirty-six Heavenly Divine Powers.
The earth contains water veins, mineral deposits, tree roots, and magma. To travel long distances underground, one must integrate the five elements of earth-遁 (escape techniques).
They also need to have strong senses to avoid creatures deep within the earth.
The Five Elements Great Escape can be viewed as five different escape techniques, or it can be viewed as a single escape technique.
The Five Elements Great Escape Techniques can be combined. The technique of combining the four elements' escape techniques with Earth Escape as the foundation is called Earth Escape Technique, also known as Earth Travel Technique.
The difference between Five Elements Escape Technique and Five Elements Great Escape is that Five Elements Escape Technique is an independent escape technique, while Five Elements Great Escape can be combined.
Zhao Xuan doesn't know the Five Elements Great Escape, but he does know the Five Elements Escape Technique.
A vine appeared in Zhao Xuan's hand; it was the root of a snake vine.
Upon receiving Zhao Xuan's command, the tendril, nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, rapidly grew deeper into the earth. Then, it changed direction and extended towards the direction of the Burning Star Fire.
Avoid water veins, mineral deposits, tree roots, and other plants along the way.
After growing for several kilometers, the roots of the serpent vine sent a message that they were burning. Zhao Xuan used the Wood Release technique and disappeared along the roots of the serpent vine.
When Zhao Xuan reappeared, he felt that the surrounding temperature exceeded one thousand degrees.
They knew they had reached the flame layer of the Burning Star Fire.
For this reason, the two Yin spirits that had been following Zhao Xuan have disappeared.
The characteristic of the Fire element is activity, and the Burning Star Fire, as one of the five supreme forces of the Fire element, is even more active.
The characteristic of Yin energy is stillness and stagnation, which clashes with the power of fire.
Although the quality of Yin energy is slightly higher, the sheer size of the Star-Burning Fire is simply too enormous.
The Yin energy controlled by those Yin spirits is insignificant in the face of the Star-Burning Fire.
Zhao Xuan continued to move forward, and soon saw a flock of red birds flying in the flames.
These red birds are the incarnations of the Burning Star Fire.
Unlike the three elements of water, earth, and metal, the elements of fire and wood tend to be more active.
Therefore, the flames of the Burning Star will split into clones and move around everywhere.
Zhao Xuan seized the opportunity and used the Primal Heavy Water, which transformed into a barrier that enveloped a small red bird before being retrieved into Zhao Xuan's sleeve.
Just as Zhao Xuan put the little red bird away, he heard a piercing cry.
The flock of red birds merged into a crimson phoenix, which spat out a huge fireball at Zhao Xuan.
The enormous fireball burned through the surrounding void, revealing a black passage.
Zhao Xuan's divine sense frantically warned him, and a sense of impending death surged into his heart.
Zhao Xuan immediately used the Flower Blooming Moment technique, and a golden auspicious cloud ten thousand feet in size appeared above Zhao Xuan's head, with millions of golden flowers floating in the cloud.
The surrounding fire energy suddenly decreased because the fire elemental power around them was absorbed by the flower in an instant.
The fireball collided with the golden auspicious cloud, and the ten-thousand-foot-long golden auspicious cloud was instantly burned down to only a few feet, barely enough to protect Zhao Xuan's body.
Zhao Xuan quickly used Fire Release to escape, and then used Wood Release to leave the flame layer.
A furious roar came from behind, and it took a full hour for things to calm down.
Whether it's the Tai Sui Blood Wall or the Burning Star Fire, although they are spiritual, it's only to maintain their vitality.
Ultimately, they all belong to the Earth Spirit's body and power, and the Earth Spirit naturally wouldn't allow them to consume each other.
So as long as you escape, you'll be safe.
Zhao Xuan took out the One Yuan Heavy Water, and saw a red bird struggling inside.
Zhao Xuan mobilized the power of reincarnation and the power of water to merge them into a power of sinking.
The bird, struck by the power of oblivion, transformed into a ball of red flame, its spirit utterly destroyed.
With a single sweep of his Golden Flower Spirit Transformation technique, Zhao Xuan extracted a red power from the red flames and absorbed it into his dantian.
The Hokage, having lost its red power, trembled slightly before going out.
After Zhao Xuan collected the power seed of the Burning Star Power, he prepared to go to the Southern Barbarian Lands to collect the Void Power.
The power of emptiness is one of the supreme powers of the Wood element.
The power of the Wood element is full of vitality, but the power of emptiness is the supreme spiritual power of the Wood element.
The power of emptiness means that all life force is extinguished; by mastering the power of emptiness, one can deprive living beings of their life force.
It's very similar to Zhao Xuan's Golden Flower Spirit Transformation, except that the power of emptiness is directed at the wood element.
Although it only targets the power of the wood element, the existence of living beings in the world is due to the complete presence of the five elements.
When a certain element is stripped away, the five elements of a living being become incomplete, and it will quickly perish.
The concept of supreme power is an absolute concept.
Absolute damage, absolute defense, and absolute control against inferior forces.
The damage from the Supreme Power is rule-based; as long as the rules cannot be negated, the damage cannot be recovered.
Only the supreme power can oppose the supreme power.
The Five Elements are not only the basic elements that constitute the world, but also the operating rules that govern the world's processes.
The supreme power is the state in which a certain rule in a certain field is executed to its limit.
However, just like with poison, it's irresponsible to talk about toxicity without mentioning dosage.
The same applies to supreme spiritual power; it is the most potent poison.
At the same dosage, they can cause the greatest damage.
It is called poison because the level of supreme spiritual power is too high, and it is impossible for a cultivator to absorb it with magical power.
Their very existence causes continuous harm to practitioners.
It's like sticking an iron needle into a block of tofu.
Supreme spiritual power is like an iron rod to tofu to a cultivator's magical power.
Other cultivators can also comprehend and use supreme spiritual power, but they cannot store it within their bodies as their own power.
This will lead to an evolutionary process during its use.
However, Zhao Xuan was able to absorb it into his body and use it as his own power.
This is the power of the Wuji version of divine abilities.
Golden Flower Enlightenment can help Zhao Xuan open the Golden Flower and bear the Dao Fruit.
In this process, all the power will merge with Zhao Xuan, becoming one entity.
According to the original plan, the next step was to go to the Southern Barbarians to obtain the power of emptiness.
However, things are unpredictable. Just after Zhao Xuan obtained the power of the Burning Star, he received a soul message from the Serpent Vine.
Zhao Xuan's plan has succeeded. The battlefield in Han is now a huge quagmire. Even if you don't get stuck in the quagmire, you'll be thrown out of the mud by the people in the mud.
But Zhao Xuan's goal wasn't to get the people on the shore covered in mud; he wanted to drag everyone into the mud and then drown them.
The Han Kingdom is now defunct in name only, and the Chu Kingdom has also suffered heavy losses after a century of depletion.
The State of Chu has dragged the State of Qi into a quagmire once again.
The four states of Qi, Han, Yan, and Wei formed an alliance of offense and defense, but Han was punished by the imperial court and needed to be destroyed.
The states of Qi, Yan, and Wei could not help, but the state of Chu dragged Qi into a quagmire.
By drawing Qi into the war, Chu gave Wei and Yan a reason to join the war, and weakening other states would be helping Han.
The State of Wei launched an attack on the State of Zhao, and the State of Yan sent troops to aid the State of Qi.
Apart from Qin, the other six states were embroiled in constant warfare.
At this point, the Qin state became the only state that did not participate in the war.
The Qin state used fire everywhere, and used various siege weapons and elixirs as strategic resources to make a fortune from the war.
The six states weren't fools; after being taken advantage of by Qin, they soon realized what had happened.
So the six states turned their guns on Qin, dragging Qin into the quagmire of war as well.
Furthermore, because the Qin state made a fortune from wars in its early years, it is now the most powerful state.
Therefore, the five states other than Han formed an alliance and decided to destroy Qin first.
This alarmed the strategists of Qin, who began to travel around persuading others to form alliances.
The three great powers were already very hostile to each other, so naturally they would not form an alliance.
The Qin state had no choice but to try to form an alliance with the other three states.
But the three kingdoms weren't fools; if Qin won, they would be the ones to suffer.
Therefore, the prerequisite for the Three Kingdoms to form an alliance with the Three Kingdoms was that the Han Kingdom could exist.
At this time, the states of Qi, Yan, and Wei ceased their attacks on Qin, and in response, Qin began sending troops into Han.
Ostensibly, it was to eliminate the Han state, but in reality, it was to resist the Zhao and Chu states.
The states of Qi, Yan, and Wei also sent troops into Han with the same purpose.
The reason why the seven kingdoms have maintained a generally peaceful state for thousands of years is that, firstly, none of the seven kingdoms wanted to fight in foreign lands, and secondly, none of the seven kingdoms wanted to fight on their own soil.
Operations in foreign lands place enormous demands on logistics; if logistics cannot keep up, soldiers in foreign lands will find it difficult to exert their combat effectiveness.
Fighting on home soil would cause enormous damage to the homeland, and even if victorious, post-war reconstruction would consume a great deal of resources.
Therefore, the war strategy pursued by all seven kingdoms was to advance gradually.
The war should take place on the border near the enemy's territory, which would be closer to the homeland and make logistical transport easier.
It is neither on the country's territory nor will it cause any harm to the country's land.
However, Zhao Xuan, who came from another world, knew about another method of warfare: proxy warfare.
Now, Han State is Zhao State's proxy state in the war.
Over the years, the people and soldiers of Han have long been changed by Zhao Xuan. On the surface, they are Han people, but their civilization has been assimilated by Zhao, and their hearts are with Zhao.
The nobles of Han Kingdom are now merely figureheads, waiting only for the opportune moment to destroy the ancestral temples and completely take over Han Kingdom.
With the Qin state entering the fray, the four generals of Zhao naturally sought Zhao Xuan's advice on the next move, so they had Sheman inquire with Zhao Xuan.
However, Zhao Xuan still needed to collect the power of emptiness and seek the "Burial of Heaven Technique," and did not want the war to start too quickly.
So the messenger snake vines told Zhao Xuancheng and the other three to continue stalling.
However, Zhao Xuan could not simply let everyone give up such a great opportunity, so he cut off the five Tai Sui and used the power of the void to send them to the snake vine, allowing the four generals Zhao Xuancheng, Zhao Minxing, Zhao Junlei, and Zhao Tianming, along with Zhao Ningde, to condense their own bodies.
This was used to prevent the main body from being driven off Earth during the later stages of the war for unification.
One can remain on Earth in one's physical form to continue perfecting cause and effect and to acquire fortune.
The three bodies among the nine bodies of the human race—the reward body, the response body, and the karmic body—existed to perfect cause and effect.
Luck and karma are inherently one.
Luck is the power manifested through the interaction of cause and effect.
Individuals have their own fortune, families have their own fortune, nations have their own fortune, and ethnic groups have their own fortune.
The concept of "qi yun" can be understood separately as "qi" (vital energy) and "yun" (luck/fortune).
The characteristic of Qi is its fluidity, which indicates that the flow of Qi itself is also constantly in motion.
"Fortune" refers to destiny, illustrating the immense and irresistible power of luck.
The fortune of heaven and earth is fixed. To influence the flow of fortune, one must rely on cause and effect.
Only cause and effect can influence destiny; therefore, cause and effect and destiny are one.
Once one reaches the sacred realm, cultivators can see through the threads of cause and effect.
In order not to affect their cultivation, cultivators in the Holy Realm will clear their own karmic threads.
In this way, even if they leave Earth, they will not be affected by cause and effect.
However, as the main branch of the royal family, the karmic ties between themselves and their family are too deep to be severed.
If things could be done slowly at other times, but at this critical juncture, with the possibility of being expelled from Earth at any moment, how can we understand cause and effect?
On Earth, one understands cause and effect; the subjects of cause and effect are oneself and the State of Zhao.
Once you arrive on Earth, if you don't understand the cause and effect with the Zhao family, that cause and effect will transfer to the great cultivators of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family on Earth are just a group of low-level cultivators; they can understand the cause and effect by giving a little benefit.
The Zhao clan outside Earth are either at the Saint Realm or the Emperor Realm, so understanding the cause and effect would require a great deal of effort.
But whether it's Zhao Xuan or Zhao Xuancheng, their causal relationship ultimately stems from the Zhao clan of Earth.
Using a clone to bear the cause and effect, so that the cause and effect remain on Earth.
In this way, using the time it takes to condense clones to make the four generals and Zhao Ningde stay for a while can be considered a legitimate reason for their actions.
And just as Zhao Xuan said at the beginning, it would be best to fight for a thousand years or even ten thousand years.
The longer the battle lasts, the greater the benefits for Zhao Xuan and the State of Zhao.
It would be even better if they could fight for ten thousand years and Zhao Xuan could find all seven secret techniques.
