"The burial ground where Cao Yusheng was buried must be the most central place in the burial ground, and there must be more than just a few immortal corpses in this place."
Qin Feng sketched out a blueprint in his mind.
Cao Yusheng, the Heavenly Venerable Who Transcended Tribulation, is also known as the Underworld Venerable, the Underworld Emperor, the Source Emperor, and Duan De.
His body bears the mark of reincarnation, having undergone nine lifetimes of reincarnation, ascending to immortality in the mortal world.
In the mythical era, the scourge of corpses raged. Qin Feng knew this, and ultimately it was because of Cao Yusheng's resurrection, through which he communicated with spirits and once again proved his Dao.
Therefore, many people in that era studied the Samsara Seal in order to seek immortality.
However, the burial ground was a place that could be called a forbidden zone for life even in the chaotic ancient times, and it was naturally not a place that ordinary people could easily set foot in.
Many enlightened beings in the mythological era were infected by the Corpse Calamity and ultimately became the Corpse Calamity themselves, their souls lost on the path to immortality.
"Perhaps, studying the Reincarnation Seal can also be a method. Ye Hei has done this before, and this method is also a clear path to immortality."
Qin Feng thought to himself, "However, I should also be cautious, otherwise I may end up like Fellow Daoist Lingbao, ultimately disappearing into the annals of time."
……
With a 'boom', divine flames burst forth on the altar, creating a dazzling fire lotus.
The giant golden egg soared into the sky, and the thumping sound of its heartbeat clearly reached Qin Feng's ears.
"It's already successful?"
Qin Feng, who had been sitting in meditation for decades, immediately understood upon seeing this situation. He unleashed Dao patterns, and this place became a forbidden zone, free from external interference.
The Taiyin Human Emperor said, "His aptitude is quite good. With the help of Fellow Daoist Lingbao, he has already reached this stage in just a few decades. He may be born ahead of schedule."
The old man in green said, "This egg has the potential to become an emperor. Fellow Daoist Lingbao may value this opportunity and therefore do his utmost to help it become an emperor of this era."
On the giant golden egg, the shell was broken.
The loud cry of the golden crow echoed through the heavens.
A golden crow, as large as a mountain, burst out of its shell. It was enormous, with golden feathers all over its body, flowing with celestial radiance.
"Finally, I have waited for this lifetime!"
Soon, the Golden Crow transformed into human form, standing at the highest peak of the Earth's core world, and cried out in the sky: "In the past, to avoid being hunted down, I destroyed my foundation and failed to transcend the tribulation. In this life, I shall stand at the pinnacle of the imperial path."
Old Golden Crow was wild and untamed, his heart filled with unparalleled grief and indignation as he thought of the past.
If it weren't for the Supreme Hunt, how could I have failed my tribulation? I should have already attained the position of Ancient Emperor, looking down upon the universe and reigning supreme over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"What I lost in my past life, I will take back in this life!"
The old Golden Crow roared, "If I become emperor, I will settle accounts with you, you dark ants, and you shall all grovel before my imperial might."
Grief, pain, and an unstable foundation.
Old Golden Crow had been holding back for too long, and finally let out a torrent of pent-up frustration.
Qin Feng broke through the forbidden formation, his aura overflowing and unintentionally filling the entire Earth's core world.
The Earth's core was shaking, displaying the true power befitting a great human emperor.
The old golden crow suddenly awoke, and the temperature dropped on the spot.
The next instant, his golden eyes saw Qin Feng, the Yin Emperor, and the Taiyang Emperor, who were enjoying tea at the stone table.
There was a magic array there, so I didn't notice it.
At this moment, the magic array shattered, and the aura of the Great Emperor was revealed without any concealment.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Qin Feng, also known as Fengtian. During the ancient times, I was the first emperor of the human race, and people respectfully called me Emperor Fengtian. In my later years, I could not defy the heavens and committed suicide by entering the Undying Mountain."
Qin Feng introduced himself: "Now, I am also considered the Supreme Being of the Undying Mountain, the so-called Forbidden Zone ant you mentioned."
The old golden crow fell from the dome.
They were still quite far from Qin Feng and his companions.
Golden eyes focused on Qin Feng.
"Am I being camped?"
Old Golden Crow was dumbfounded: "Back then, in order to protect himself, he destroyed his own foundation, just for the sake of rebirth. He might as well let me find this unique treasure land."
"Having just undergone Nirvana and rebirth, have you now encountered the Dark Sovereign of the Undying Mountain, a forbidden zone of life?"
Old Jinwu's heart trembled, and in just a moment, he had already thought of many things.
What is it like to be at the peak of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor? What is it like to be just one step away from becoming an Emperor?
Without becoming an emperor, one remains an ant, utterly insignificant compared to those who have truly attained enlightenment.
"My path is over!"
The old golden crow looked up at the sky and sighed, gazing at Qin Feng with a look of resignation.
The next instant, the rules on his body rippled, the Dao patterns surged, and the power of a Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven was poised to explode at any moment.
Since I have no chance to prove myself, I'll fight you to the death today.
The old Golden Crow made a decision to use his power as a Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven to challenge the Great Emperor of the Mortal Realm and to defy the Daoist.
"Old Golden Crow, I think you need to calm down."
Qin Feng waved his hand slightly, and the forbidden technique of sealing the heavens rippled outwards, landing smoothly and steadily beside the old golden crow.
The aura of a quasi-emperor at the ninth level that the old golden crow had been forcefully summoned was completely suppressed without any resistance.
Old Golden Crow: “…”
I have just been reborn from the ashes, and I have the ambition to attain enlightenment and look down upon the world.
How can I remain calm when guarding a corpse?!
Qin Feng instantly saw through the old golden crow's thoughts, flicked a cup of fragrant tea, and flew towards the old golden crow.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng's voice rang out: "Old Golden Crow, do you want to become an immortal?"
Chapter 40 Your Majesty, Your Heart is So Black
Do you want to become an immortal? I want to attain the Dao and become an emperor!
Old Golden Crow was slightly bewildered, inwardly grumbling, but dared not show the slightest abnormality, meeting Qin Feng's extremely calm gaze.
Fragrant tea leaves drifted in, filling the air with their aroma.
Old Jinwu picked up his teacup and drank the hot tea.
My limbs and bones were extremely cold, and I was unable to move them at all.
Qin Feng continued, "I possess the method to become an immortal. In my later years after my second life, I severed my Dao fruit and entered the Undying Mountain. Now, I have lived my third life and am once again the Emperor of the Mortal Realm."
"Seeing your rebirth from the ashes, you possess the bearing of a great emperor. Would you be willing to serve under me? If you attain enlightenment and transcend tribulation, I can vouch for you. No one in the forbidden zones may hunt you down again, ensuring your tribulation will be without worry."
Old Golden Crow pondered: "Is it really that simple, without needing to do anything? Do you want me to cut myself into the forbidden zone in my old age and collude with you?"
No need.
Qin Feng replied, "When I conquer the path to immortality in the future, you will walk with me and face the darkness!"
The old golden crow fell silent.
The Yin Emperor and the old man in green calmly examined the situation.
"My final question is, do you wish to become an immortal? I have a method for achieving immortality, a way to allow you to live indefinitely, one life, two lives, three lives, until you ascend to immortality."
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Old Golden Crow immediately gave the most positive response.
He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his face solemn, and declared in a resounding voice: "Your Majesty, please accept my bow. I am willing to submit."
"If Your Majesty needs a mount, this old man is ready to serve you faithfully!"
Taiyin Emperor: "..."
The old man in blue: "..."
Qin Feng was speechless. Looking at the old Golden Crow's expression, he held back for a long time before silently uttering a sentence in his heart: "This is a bit... very much like the old Golden Crow."
Qin Feng waved his hand: "I don't need a mount, only a companion on the same road. I have a method for achieving immortality, which can point you in the right direction. As for how to achieve immortality, you need to figure it out yourself and eventually walk alongside me."
The old Golden Crow was stunned for a moment: "May I ask the Great Emperor, how does one achieve immortality, how does one become an immortal?"
Old Jinwu is quite outgoing.
With a flash, he was already close to Qin Feng's stone table.
Having received Qin Feng's approval, he took the last seat, looking at Qin Feng with eager eyes and a burning desire in them.
There's no other reason than Qin Feng's self-destruction, which means he has already lived through his third life.
To have reached this level by severing one's own body is beyond the reach of even the supreme beings of forbidden zones; following him is no loss.
"Wandering through the mortal world, through nine lifetimes of reincarnation, through countless ages of dreams, through rebirth and nirvana, all are methods to achieve immortality. How one survives these trials depends entirely on one's own destiny."
Qin Feng calmly said, "Next, there is a place I wish to visit. Fellow Daoist Lingbao reminded me that there is a chaotic ancient tomb in the underworld, where there are immortal corpses. Perhaps we can explore the method of immortality."
The old Golden Crow was slightly taken aback: "...Great Emperor, so you're preparing to go to the Underworld?"
Suddenly, the old golden crow felt incredibly cold throughout its body.
The name of the underworld is awe-inspiring throughout the world. There is only one phrase: "Looking down upon the ages, the underworld is the final resting place of all spirits."
All living beings in the world are terrified.
"I have ideas and I'm planning them," Qin Feng replied.
The Taiyin Emperor said, "If you are going to the Underworld, you need to be careful. Fellow Daoist Lingbao reminded me that the Underworld is incredibly mysterious, and the consequences of acting recklessly are unimaginable."
Qin Feng nodded: "Understood, therefore planning is necessary. This trip can be included in the plan. Now that I have met Fellow Daoist Lingbao and obtained the true understanding of the Lingbao Scripture, I also need to return to the Undying Mountain to properly comprehend the Dao and decipher the method of the fourth life."
As they spoke, Qin Feng recounted how Lingbao Tianzun had ultimately helped the old Golden Crow.
The old Golden Crow looked at the celestial fire that was beginning to dim, and compared it with what Qin Feng had just finished saying about the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable.
"So it was this old man who stole Fellow Daoist Lingbao's hope for rebirth."
The old Golden Crow, reborn at the Immortal Platform, bowed respectfully: "This old one respectfully bids farewell to the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. Thank you, Celestial Venerable, for helping this old one to be reborn and return from the ashes countless years ahead of schedule!"
"If I were an immortal, I would surely resurrect the Heavenly Venerable to avenge the cause and effect of today."
