My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The thunderbirds that formed from lightning relentlessly pecked at his eyes, the magma beasts that formed from lava devoured his flesh and blood, and the wind blades that formed from black wind tore him to pieces.

These lightning bolts, magma, and wind blades are all condensations of the power of the cave.

Logically speaking, the power of a grotto-heaven should not be able to harm its master.

The fact that these thunder beasts, magma, and wind blades can harm the mountain can only be said to be because the mountain allows it.

Even so, it is an ironclad rule that the power of a grotto-heaven cannot harm its master.

So these forces both harm the mountain and constantly nourish it to restore it.

Therefore, the mountain is constantly being injured and constantly recovering.

They will never die, but they will constantly experience all kinds of suffering.

The limits of a cultivator's tolerance for pain are even lower than those of ordinary people, after all, cultivators are many times more sensitive than ordinary people.

However, practitioners can sever the nerves that transmit pain in time when they are injured, and they can recover in time.

The mountain, though a self-punishing grotto, did not sever the nerves transmitting pain. It endures pain constantly.

It can be said that Shan's heart is already dead; it can no longer feel pain and is now just a mindless walking corpse.

Zhao Xuan decided to help Shan end this suffering.

As soon as Zhao Xuan finished speaking, a talisman radiating endless mystery appeared in the air, echoing the black and white Yin-Yang mystical light.

That supernatural talisman was a talisman with the immobilization supernatural power that had reached the level of immeasurable supernatural power. With a flicker, the supernatural talisman transformed into a huge Xuan Ghost.

As soon as the Xuan Gui appeared, it exuded an aura capable of suppressing all things in the heavens. It was a different kind of suppression, a suppression that would knock the clouds down to the mortal realm.

The Xuan Gui appeared, and countless golden rays of light filled the entire space. The chains emerging from the Taihuang Zhenshi Pagoda slowed down as if on slow motion.

The black and white yin-yang light transformed into a black serpent that coiled onto the shell of the black tortoise, forming a complete image of the Black Tortoise.

The black serpent arched its head, assuming an attack posture, and endless black and white Yin-Yang light condensed in its mouth, transforming into a sphere shaped like a Tai Chi symbol.

After the Tai Chi sphere was formed, it flew towards the King Shrine in Thailand.

Because the principles of the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda were all suppressed by the fixed-body mystic light, the Taiji sphere entered as if it were in an empty space, instantly concentrating the main body of the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda.

The main body of the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda showed no reaction. The Tai Chi sphere seemed to have traversed endless void and appeared in the cave within the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda.

The blow landed on the mountain, which was being tortured inside the cave.

A phantom appeared in the cave, attempting to mobilize its power to resist the Taiji sphere. However, the spirit of the Taihuang Zhenshi Pagoda appeared in the cave and shook its head slightly at the Heavenly Dao of the cave.

The Tai Chi sphere envelops the mountain, and the mountain's body is silently assimilated, dissolved, and disappears.

Zhao Xuan bowed deeply to the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda, "Junior Zhao Xuan respectfully invites Senior's spirit to return to the Great Dao."

"Hey," "Hey"...

Several sighs rang out, and several figures appeared beside the Tai Chi sphere.

After bowing deeply to Zhao Xuan, they slowly disappeared.

The golden chains that had been emanating from the King Pagoda of Thailand had all disappeared, and the entire pagoda had turned gray and lay on the ground like a piece of waste rock.

Zhao Xuan waved his hand and the black snake disappeared, while the black tortoise transformed back into its divine talisman form.

The magical talisman flew towards the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda. The pagoda, which had previously shown no resistance, began to shine again, like a puppy trying to please its master.

A magical talisman was rolled up, and the Taihuang Zhenshi Pagoda flew into Zhao Xuan's hand.

Zhao Xuan reached out and lifted it, making his arm feel heavy, but the Taihuang Zhenshi Pagoda turned its mysterious light and then seemed to lose its weight, quietly staying in Zhao Xuan's hand.

Zhao Xuan probed his divine sense into the Taihuang Zhenshi Tower, and found that the cave heaven inside the Taihuang Zhenshi Tower began to collapse, and countless spatial cracks appeared in the cave heaven.

However, golden light appeared in the cave, and the expansion speed of those spatial rifts was as slow as a tortoise.

Zhao Xuan carried the Taihuang Zhenshi Pagoda back to the East Sea Barrier. A beam of black and white light struck the barrier, causing it to silently melt away and create a large hole.

The inspiration of the East Sea, who was refining the spiritual energy of the stars, was startled when he sensed that the formation was under attack.

However, after spotting Zhao Xuan, he lowered his head guiltily and continued refining the star energy.

Zhao Xuan waited for a while but the Spirit of the East Sea did not appear, and smiled silently.

After the East Sea barrier was restored, Zhao Xuan appeared in a crystal palace carrying the Thai Emperor's World-Suppressing Pagoda.

As soon as Zhao Xuan appeared, the Crystal Palace erupted in commotion.

Thousands of transparent water spirits appeared in the Crystal Palace, and upon seeing Zhao Xuan, they quickly bowed.

Zhao Xuan waved his hand, "Summon your lord to come forward. I have something to discuss with her."

"Yes." A water spirit whose aura had reached the Emperor Realm quickly agreed.

Meanwhile, the other water spirits began to busy themselves with serving tea, setting up banquets, and dancing.

Zhao Xuan sipped his tea, watching the beautiful dance, and smiled without saying a word.

This Crystal Palace is the resting place of the spirit of the East Sea.

These water spirits were created by the spirit of the East Sea using the power of illusion to transform the water of the East Sea.

They all have high cultivation levels, but they lack combat power.

After waiting for an hour, four figures appeared in the Crystal Palace: one dressed as an old woman, one dressed as a mature woman, one dressed as a general, and one dressed as a scholar.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly stood up and bowed, and the four of them returned the bow.

The five then exchanged smiles and took their seats separately.

"I heard that the Great Sage recently went to the Dark Sea. How come you have time to come to the Crystal Palace for tea and to watch the dance?" the old woman said, raising her cup as she sat at the head of the table.

Zhao Xuan quickly raised his glass in response, saying that as one of the five great earth spirits, he could disrespect the other four.

However, we cannot disrespect the spirit of the Central Plains, after all, the spirit of the Central Plains is equivalent to the mother of humanity after the Qin Emperor's era.

"Mother Earth, my journey to the Dark Sea is for the slumbering human grotto within it..."

Zhao Xuan began to recount his considerations and some of his experiences.

"Now that the master of the cave in the Taihuang Zhenshi Tower has returned to the Great Dao, although I have some means, the destruction of the cave is still irreversible. Therefore, I would like to ask Hai Ling'er for help to make this cave appear in the East Sea, so that the geniuses of my human race can enter and seize the opportunity."

Zhao Xuan said

"Alas, what a pity for one of my human race's great powers. In that case, Hai Ling'er should help," said the spirit of the Central Plains.

“In that case, I will ask the Earth Mother to oversee this matter, and I will continue my journey to the Dark Sea to search for the grotto-heaven,” Zhao Xuan said, handing over the Taihuang Zhenshi Tower to the Earth Mother.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the King Pagoda of Thailand flew into her grasp.

As for the weight of the Thai King's Pagoda, no matter how heavy it is, it cannot compare to the weight of the human race's ancestral temple.

The Earth Mother is the spirit of the Central Plains, bearing the human civilization for seven emperors' reigns. The weight of the human race's destiny cannot be compared to the small Taihuang Zhenshi Tower.

Moreover, the Forbidden Magic Stone is, in a strict sense, an earth-elemental spiritual object. The Breath of Earth is the ancestor of all soils, and the Earth Mother naturally wields the power of the Breath of Earth, which is the natural enemy of the Forbidden Magic Stone.

After saying goodbye to the Earth Mother and the other three, Zhao Xuan continued his exploration of the Dark Sea.

As for the Spirit of the East Sea, Zhao Xuan knew its thoughts when the four Earth Mothers appeared.

He sneakily kicked Zhao Xuan, thinking he had gained the upper hand, so he was afraid Zhao Xuan would retaliate.

So when Zhao Xuan opened the array barrier of the East Sea, he pretended not to see it. Since Zhao Xuan had come to the East Sea Crystal Palace and could not hide, he invited the four Earth Mothers to come and make peace.

But everyone here is smart enough to know it was just a joke, so they exchanged knowing smiles and understood.

It was simply that the spirit of the East Sea felt it was in the wrong and was embarrassed.

The spirit of the Central Plains is revered as the Earth Mother, and among the five great earth spirits, she assumes the role of the mother of the family.

Kitagawa's spirit is named Yukihime, and she is equivalent to the eldest sister in the family.

The spirit of the Western Wilderness is named Jiang Chen, which is equivalent to the eldest brother in a family.

The spirit of the southern barbarians is named Qing Shi, which is equivalent to the second younger brother in a family.

The spirit of the East Sea is named Hai Ling'er, which is equivalent to the youngest sister in the family.

Therefore, the four earth spirits cherished the spirit of the East Sea.

As for why the spirit of the East Sea was finally born, it was also because of the Dark Sea.

Humans grew up in the Central Plains, so the Central Plains were the first to receive true names and become spiritual beings.

The land of Beichuan is imbued with the life force of the scorching fire of the stars, which then continuously disintegrates, merging the life force into the land of Beichuan. This is the second spirit of the land of Beichuan.

The Western Wilderness is the source of the power of destruction. Humanity has been at war since ancient times, and the power of killing is attracted by the power of destruction. The third spirit of the Western Wilderness is a spiritual being.

The Southern Barbarian Lands are affected by the power of returning to silence, and the Eastern Sea Lands are affected by the Dark Sea, making it difficult for them to communicate with spirits.

It was also the arrangement of the spirit of the Central Plains that granted the true names of the Southern Barbarian Land and the Eastern Sea Land, allowing the two places to communicate with each other through the luck of the human race.

The true names of the five great earth spirits are Central Land, East Sea, Western Wilderness, Southern Barbarian, and Northern River.

However, after communicating with spirits, one cannot directly use one's real name to see people, lest one tarnish the real name and affect one's fortune.

Therefore, they each had their own names.

Compared to the power of returning to silence, the power of the Dark Sea is far more troublesome, which is why the East Sea was the last place to be connected to the spirit, and Hai Ling'er was the last to be born.

In addition, since the powers of illusion and water have no fixed state, Hai Ling'er has an innocent, lively, cute, and mischievous personality.

Who wouldn't like a girl like that?

So when Hai Ling'er invited everyone, everyone knew it was a joke, but they still came.

However, Zhao Xuan had also discussed future plans with the four Earth Spirits, including the Earth Mother.

Suitable grottoes will be moved to their respective areas, and then they will be asked to train the human race.

With experience, Zhao Xuan found it much easier to find and suppress the cave heavens.

It took five hundred years to move nearly three hundred grotto-heavens back to the Four Desolate Lands.

The reason it takes so long is for sustainable development.

The situation at the Thai King's Pagoda is a special case, as the Lord of the Cave Heaven has absolutely no intention of communicating with it.

Even the spirit of the artifact and the Dao of the Cave Heaven could not communicate.

The mountain escaped its mission by being tortured, but those manifestations of authority did not see it that way.

For them, such a living death was worse than simply disappearing.

Therefore, when Zhao Xuan killed Shan with the Tai Chi sphere, the other avatars of authority did not stop him.

The spirit of the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda also prevented the Heavenly Dao of the Cave from intervening.

Dongtian Tiandao did not object.

It is because these manifestations of the mountain's authority have long been fed up with the main body's cowardice and escapism.

Zhao Xuan saw this, so he simply gave them a way out.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan did not want to see Shan living like that; it would be an insult to the emperor of the human race.

However, Zhao Xuan also gained a lot. Not only did all four true forms take shape, but they also reached a certain level.

Even the Five Elements' system of birth and death, constructed from the highest spiritual power of the Five Elements, can receive extraordinary enhancement.

In particular, the compatibility between the Xuanwu True Form, the Body-Fixing Mystic Light, and the Black and White Yin-Yang Mystic Light is very high.

The true form of the White Tiger also has a high compatibility with the black and white Yin-Yang Mysterious Light.

Zhao Xuan transformed the Black Tortoise into two forms: the Black Tortoise and the Black Serpent. The Black Tortoise form was imbued with a fixed-body light, while the Black Serpent form was imbued with the black and white dualistic light.

Furthermore, by using the power of the White Tiger's true form, the power of the Black and White Yin-Yang Mystic Light was multiplied several times. Not to mention that the mountain had already lost its self-awareness, the other authority clones offered no resistance.

Even if they resisted, it would be useless; all that would happen was that the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda and the entire grotto would be melted away.

Why is the Thai King's Pagoda so obedient? It's because Zhao Xuan truly has the ability to destroy it.

Of course, the disappearance of the spirit will cause the collapse of the grotto to affect the mystery of the Thai King's World-Suppressing Pagoda.

At the same time, the King Treasure Pagoda in Thailand has also been reborn. The spirit of the King Treasure Pagoda is the embodiment of the power of the mountain, which has been fused with the spirituality of the forbidden divine stone.

The mountain's authority has now vanished, but the spirituality of the forbidden magic stone remains undamaged.

On the contrary, because the inner world within him began to collapse, he was able to refine the power of the inner world into himself.

Who knows, it might be able to be upgraded to a spirit treasure at that time.

Zhao Xuan rushed back because the grotto inside the Thai King's Pagoda was about to collapse.

Other grotto-heavens are not like this.

In five hundred years, Zhao Xuan discovered three hundred grotto-heavens, two hundred of which were ancient and prehistoric imperial realm grotto-heavens, merely residing in imaginary space.

Such a grotto-heaven doesn't need to be subdued; as long as one has sufficient magical power, it can be moved out.

The remaining one hundred grotto-heavens, seventy of which are ordinary Emperor-level grotto-heavens, are merely residing on some kind of spiritual object.

Such grotto-heavens can be subdued separately. As long as you can subdue the spiritual creature, you can take it along with the grotto-heavens.

Upon seeing this grotto-heaven, Zhao Xuan had the two-dimensional light of Bai Yin Yang circle around the spiritual object, and the spirituality within the object automatically submitted.

After all, the spirituality within a spirit doesn't want to disappear.

Next are the twenty-five grotto-heavens residing within Dao artifacts.

After observing with the Candlelight Nine Yin Eyes, Zhao Xuan discovered that the Emperor Realm beings in these grotto-heavens were indeed Emperor Realm beings who had entered old age.

Therefore, we cannot use overly drastic methods.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan always used the invocation technique to awaken the spirit of the artifact and then communicate with it.

If they don't communicate properly, beat them up; then you can try to communicate.

If they still don't communicate properly, I will use the Immobilizing Light to suppress them, and the Yin-Yang Light to clear a path into the cave, where they can communicate with those listening to the Dao within.

Those who don't communicate properly will be beaten up, and those who still don't communicate properly will have their divine order disrupted.

You can communicate with the spirit of the artifact again. If it is disobedient, the spirit's authority will be dispersed. You can also communicate directly with the spirit's spirituality.

However, most of them can be communicated with, but a restricted area must be designated within the cave to avoid disturbing the sleeping body.

Zhao Xuan agreed to all of them.
