"Thank you, Emperor!"
Qin Feng waved his hand, then grabbed the old Celestial Venerable's head and held it in his hand: "No need for thanks. I can't leave his body to you; I'm taking it with me."
Qin Feng weighed his head, making the old Heavenly Venerable, whose eyes were wide open in death, look into his eyes.
"Old brother, I promised to take you into the Immortal Realm, and I will keep my word."
Qin Feng whispered, took a step, and headed back towards the Undying Mountain.
Fuxi did not stop Qin Feng; his rotten head, devoid of its primordial spirit, was left only to be mercilessly blasted into blood and gore.
At most, the skull can be removed and used as a rare material to forge weapons.
Inside the Immortal Mountain.
A series of divine thoughts swept over Qin Feng as he returned.
Qin Feng solemnly smashed a small hole in the Immortal Source and casually threw the old Celestial Venerable's head into it.
"Feng Tian, you've crossed the line," the Stone Emperor coldly snorted, issuing a warning.
Qin Feng had expected this, and remained completely calm: "I have never overstepped my bounds. From beginning to end, I have always been the Emperor of the Human Race, and I will naturally consider the needs of the Human Race."
“I will enter the Undying Mountain, but I will not instigate the Dark Turmoil. If you instigate the Dark Turmoil, that is your business. Why should I join you?”
At this point, Qin Feng added, "Although I am considering the interests of the human race, once I enter the Undying Mountain, I must abide by our agreement. If others target the Undying Mountain, I will take action."
"If Fuxi attacks the Undying Mountain in the future, I will fight with all my might to defend the dignity of the Undying Mountain Forbidden Zone!"
The Stone Emperor scrutinized indifferently: "That's for the best. I'll wait for the day when you and Fuxi fight to see the true outcome!"
Qin Feng said no more, certain that the Stone Emperor would not emerge to cleanse the sect.
"Better to die than to die, my friend"—an age-old, unchanging principle.
Qin Feng turned and walked towards his immortal abode, glancing at the Stone Emperor's location out of the corner of his eye.
“I’ve already made a deal with Fuxi. I’ll become Ye Hei’s apprentice and put on an act until your Stone Emperor collapses.”
Qin Feng murmured to himself, not at all worried about the infighting between them in Fuxi's later years.
Upon returning to the Immortal Abode, there was the Heaven-Sealing Array that deceived Heaven.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, his relaxed expression suddenly turning serious.
His hair, already gray, now looked even more withered.
Qin Feng plucked a single hair, devoid of any life force: "We've gone too far. This extreme sublimation has resulted in a truly terrifying rate of lifespan decay."
Chapter 17 Lifespan Decreases Sharply, Wrong Path
The great emperors of antiquity could command the submission of all paths.
The power of Lingxiao cannot be sealed by anything in the world.
Only after severing himself can he eke out a living in the Immortal Source.
But when one reaches the pinnacle of enlightenment and attains the highest Dao fruit, the laws of time are enough to take away the life of any emperor.
Qin Feng truly reached the pinnacle of enlightenment, only then realizing the terrifying price that came with self-inflicted wounds.
His white hair was intentional; though his head was full of white hair, it exuded vitality.
Now his hair is white, and although he tries his best to control it, it is withered and lifeless.
The sharp decline in lifespan is a tangible and visible phenomenon.
"This damn life, my Heaven-Sealing Technique, and the Immortal Source's suppression, still have flaws. Being too active is ultimately not a good thing."
Qin Feng sighed to himself, "The pressure came in a flash. If I don't work hard to live out my third life and don't start a dark upheaval, I can only lie in the Immortal Source and sleep soundly."
"But... whether I launch a dark upheaval or eke out a living in the Immortal Source, how can this be my path? My Dao heart has been lost, how easy is it to become an immortal!"
Qin Feng composed himself.
At that moment, he cooled down on the spot.
His divine sense trembled as he scanned the universe and spacetime.
On the ancient star Gouchen, Dao Guo once again wandered to this ancient star.
Unlike before, in a mountain hollow, Dao Guo slept soundly on a boulder, in a daze, affected by his true form.
"There's something wrong with how I navigate this world!"
Qin Feng realized that his methods of worldly affairs had gone astray.
In his mind, many memories of Ye Hei, the Ruthless Emperor, and the rebellious life in the mortal world flooded into his heart.
"Ye Hei and the Empress have both followed similar paths, experiencing countless ages of dreams and tempering their hearts in the mortal world, but my path is different from theirs."
Qin Feng whispered, "The Empress walked the mortal world with the Dao Fruit, letting the wind and rain blow her way back to her true self. Ye Hei sealed his cultivation, and countless lives were lost, making him no different from ordinary people. But I am greedy for the mortal world, and the Dao Fruit still has extraordinary methods."
Upon reaching this point in his analysis, a glint of light flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.
Unwittingly, the mundane laws of a certain birdman who was currently holed up in a strange world also surfaced in his mind.
"That phoenix-man, whose true form is a celestial phoenix, has transformed into its foundation. I wanted to undergo a transformation in the mortal world, but I transformed in the wrong direction."
Qin Feng suddenly understood: "Therefore, in this life, I cannot live out my next life by going through the mortal world through the Dao Fruit. The methods are different, the paths are different, and my path requires a long time to accumulate."
next moment.
Qin Feng moved and emerged from the Immortal Source once more.
The relentless guillotine of time has slashed at him again and again.
Her hair, once full of white, was now becoming increasingly dry and brittle, strand by strand, visible to the naked eye.
"If I want to get out of here, staying hidden forever is not my way."
Qin Feng made a decision in his heart: "The more you cherish your life, the less likely you are to succeed. Just like my old friend Shi Huang, who survived for millions of years, he was ultimately nothing more than a withered bone on the path to immortality. How pitiful and lamentable."
……
Today, the Earth is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources.
Since Fuxi attained enlightenment and became emperor, this ancient star has become a sacred place that many cultivators yearn for.
Qin Feng arrived at the summit of Mount Tai, where the misty atmosphere was endless, unlike the tourist attractions like the Jade Emperor Peak of later generations.
"In the past, Mount Tai was so majestic that even the sun, moon, and stars paled in comparison. Now, however, it is far inferior. Those true emperors could travel back in time and see the chaotic past."
Qin Feng sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that someone as weak as me actually became an emperor. I don't have enough strength to go back in time. I can only wait until I become stronger to come and see the baby."
A single step can cover a thousand miles, allowing one to travel the world.
Several days later, Qin Feng had traveled through all the mountains and rivers on Earth.
This isn't the first time, but each time brings different insights.
Kunlun Mountain, the Pool of Immortality.
Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains stand majestically.
"An endless array, with the power of heaven and earth, drawing on the spiritual energy of the earth, no wonder this place became a land of Dharma decline in later generations."
Qin Feng stayed in this place for ten years.
For ten years, Qin Feng did nothing, as if in a meditative state, simply watching the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converge towards the Immortal Pool.
On this day, Qin Feng regained consciousness.
With one step, he entered the Pool of Immortality.
A celestial light emanated from the scene, shimmering and colorful, enveloped by a misty haze, resembling a fairyland that engulfed him.
Qin Feng used his unique magic to activate the ten thousand dragon-head peaks on this land, causing them to spew out dragon saliva that flowed into the Immortal Pool, nourishing his body and replenishing his current state.
Qin Feng remained motionless, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
……
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight thousand years have passed.
Qin Feng was awakened. After nearly ten thousand years of accumulation, the dimness on the altar had been greatly repaired, and some immortal substances were faintly present in his body.
Immortal matter is the fundamental reason why people in the mortal world can live forever.
In the ancient immortal era, the world was rich in immortal matter, so even a great emperor like Qin Feng could easily live for millions of years.
The universe is flawed; to survive, one must condense immortal matter oneself.
Currently, Qin Feng possesses immortal substances within his body, but these are insufficient to sustain him through a third life.
A gaze turned toward the Big Dipper.
There, boundless vital energy filled the sky, and a figure towered high above the nine heavens—the Great Emperor Fuxi.
"So soon, this life has come to an end!"
Qin Feng sighed slightly: "Fuxi has finally reached the point of taking the elixir of immortality. None of his supreme colleagues took advantage of his later years in his first life to try to kill him. They were all too cautious."
"There's a saying in the mortal world: 'Take a gamble, and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.' What if Fuxi doesn't have the elixir of immortality and just dies peacefully? Wouldn't that mean we've missed the perfect opportunity to ambush him?"
As time passed, Fuxi's figure disappeared from the Big Dipper.
Before long, Fuxi appeared at the Immortal Pool and happened to overhear Qin Feng's teasing.
"Your Majesty, this is not fair of you. You're probably hoping someone will come and kill me in my old age!" Fuxi chuckled.
Qin Feng stood up and laughed, "It's perfectly reasonable that you used yourself as bait back then, and now you're replicating that in your later years."
Fuxi remained silent, staring at Qin Feng's full head of white hair, catching a glimpse of a small section of white hair that had withered and lost all vitality.
In the next instant, Fuxi condensed a ball of essence blood: "Now, my second life is full of energy and blood. I ask the Great Emperor to drink my imperial blood to prolong his imperial life!"
Qin Feng waved his hand: "There's no need for that. I haven't reached that point yet. Through thousands of years of seclusion, I have already figured out a path."
"Now, I have reached a critical moment. You don't need to focus your attention on me. Just do what you need to do. You are the emperor of this era, and you have your responsibilities!"
Fuxi saw that Qin Feng was indeed unwilling to drink his imperial blood.
With a sigh, the Emperor's blood was sealed away.
"Since the Great Emperor has already embarked on the path to a third life, let us congratulate the Great Emperor in advance on his success and that he may live out his third life."
