Chapter 1617
"Cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao is not a mere illusion. In this world, there exist mysterious substances that can allow us to transcend our mortal selves and inquire into the path of immortality. This is the tenet of our sect. Today, I will teach you the methods of refining elixirs and medicines..."
Deep in the mountains, a group of ancient humans dressed in Taoist robes are conducting the most savage experiments in the Daoist arts...
……
If the world were to see his world, it would surely be astonished.
Such a vivid historical panorama and such a magnificent picture of civilization can only be found in the legends of the great ancestral gods.
However, the great ancestral gods possess complete forbidden worlds, which is something they could only achieve when they attained immortality or even supreme status. Li Lan, on the other hand, is only a quasi-immortal!
……
Li Lan was lost in thought, like a silent observer watching all the changes in his own world.
He saw an imperial army break through the defenses of another nation, cavalry rampaging across the land, slaughtering countless lives!
He saw that in the bustling capital of Kyoto, news of victories from the front lines became a source of inspiration for talented men and beautiful women to compose poems and couplets, embracing their beauties and singing to express their aspirations...
He saw, deep within the palace walls, the wicked empress drowning the son of her concubine with her own hands…
He also saw the aged king, and looked at the cinnabar and miraculous medicines offered by the weapon refiners. He remained silent for a long time, but finally took them.
He also saw countless people living in the streets and alleys, barely clothed...
Wild beasts howl in the mountains, soldiers fight among mortals, kings, merchants, officials, cultivators, hermits...
He observes everything in this world and comprehends the Tao that is condensed within it.
All these paths will eventually form the "Heavenly Dao" of his forbidden world. When the Dao is perfected, it will be the "Heaven-Shocking" realm, and he will enter the realm of "Immortality".
……
Just as Li Lan was focused on comprehending the Dao.
In a back mountain of the Chu Yuan clan, the Supreme Elder Chu Hao quietly arrived and entered a cave alone.
The cave was pitch black, without any light. A barrier had been lit up. He released his aura in front of the barrier, and the barrier opened immediately.
He entered the barrier and found the place littered with scattered bones, including human and animal bones, with even signs of gnaws on them.
A chilling, malevolent aura swept over us, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees. From the depths of the cave came the howls of vengeful spirits, plaintive and heart-wrenching, sending shivers down our spines.
It's hard to imagine that such a sinister and evil place could exist in the primordial ancestral land, which is like a sacred and pure land.
"Brother, how have you been lately?"
Chu Hao sat down and asked a question into the depths of darkness.
Four or five pairs of eyes glowed with a ghostly green light, and a head covered in fleshy tumors emerged from it. Its face was extremely ugly, and it crawled out like a spider, with seventeen or eighteen small fleshy arms like those of an infant.
He has fallen into an indescribable state!
If the rest of the Yuan Chu clan knew this, they would be greatly surprised, because this person was none other than Chu Hao's elder brother—Chu Dao!
Chu Dao was once the holy son of the Yuan Chu clan, with unparalleled talent. Unfortunately, he sensed that someone in the chaotic world had taken a crucial step, so he stepped in to stop him.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by the Heavenly Emperor.
Everyone in the Yuan Chu clan thought he was dead!
But only Chu Hao knew that his brother had not died completely, but had gained another form of life through a strange power.
Over the years, he would periodically send fresh blood offerings to support his brother.
"Has the path of the Ancestral God been successfully followed? The other side is already impatient."
Chu Dao's voice was hoarse and shrill, making one's eardrums ache.
"not yet."
Chu Hao shook his head. "However, the Gate to the Other Shore appeared once, and was even seen by our clan's Holy Maiden, Chu Ruoxi... She said that the guides within the gate have become ominous, and even the sacred Other Shore world has become a land of evil calamity..."
