Standing atop Dragon Head Peak, Zhou Xuan took out the Myriad Origin Cauldron, which had been bathed in the blood essence of the Supreme Emperor Stone, and the Supreme Emperor Seal he had forged himself.
All of them were placed in the Immortal Pool, which gathers the essence of the ninety-nine dragon treasures of Dragon Mountain.
The Myriad Origin Cauldron, which had been fiercely detonated by Zhou Xuan and made a great contribution, absorbed the boundless dragon treasure essence from the land of its birth, gradually mending the cracks on its body.
Forged from the chaotic stone marrow, and bathed in the blood essence of the Stone Emperor, it revealed the supreme imperial seal of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man roaring across the sky, and also devoured the essence of the Immortal Pool without showing any weakness.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan took out rare treasures from the ancient life star of the Big Dipper and various forbidden zones that he had extorted.
First, he put several immortal medicines that could allow the flawless emperor to live another life together with the True Dragon Immortal Medicine rewarded by the system.
Then, Zhou Xuan tossed aside the Dragon Pattern Black Gold, Eternal Blue Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, Divine Mark Purple Gold, and other supreme imperial materials.
Finally, Zhou Xuan shattered the wisps of divine rainbow, crushed the Primordial Life Stone and other items containing boundless essence, took out a Stone Emperor Blood Essence, mixed it into a pill that emitted boundless essence energy, and swallowed it.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The moment the pill enters the mouth, it unleashes an inexhaustible and terrifying source of energy.
At the same time, all of Zhou Xuan's divine treasures opened, and within each supreme divine treasure, it seemed as if a deity resided, chanting in unison:
"Use Qi to guide the spirit, and the spirit to form the image. Every gesture and movement carries the power of a giant elephant. The human body is composed of 840 million particles... The types of elephants are infinitely varied. The giant elephant is young, transforming into a dragon elephant. The dragon elephant is green, transforming into a primordial elephant. The primordial elephant is strong, transforming into a divine elephant. This is the great achievement."
As the incantation for the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was chanted, the vast source energy released from the pill Zhou Xuan had swallowed unleashed...
It was directly broken down into the most primordial and basic energy particles by the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, which was at the level of a Second Emperor.
As energy particles surged in, the number of dragon-elephant particles that Zhou Xuan had created from the giant elephant particles instantly increased dramatically.
Zhou Xuan, who is cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique at the level of a Second Emperor with the combat power of a 12th-level Flawless Great Emperor, is making extremely gratifying progress in his cultivation.
In just over a month, Zhou Xuan, starting from the Yuanxiang microparticles, transcended the Longxiang microparticles and reached the level of the Yuanxiang microparticles.
"Om!!"
Just as Zhou Xuan was preparing to press on and cultivate the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, at the level of a Second Emperor, to its ultimate perfection.
Suddenly, Zhou Xuan felt a slight tremor in his heart. In that instant, he clearly sensed that the Supreme Emperor Seal he had placed in the Immortal Ascension Pool had undergone a change.
Under his deliberate control, within the Supreme Emperor Seal that had never given birth to a deity, countless paths intertwined, radiating brilliant light as spirituality condensed from nothingness. This thing was actually about to give birth to a deity?!
Chapter 28 The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force is Flawed; Little Nannan's Cultivation Begins
The gaze shifted to the Immortal-Pregnant Pool.
It gathers the essence of ninety-nine ancestral dragon veins and tens of thousands of true dragon veins.
The Pool of Immortality still seems to never be filled, remaining only about ten feet long and half a foot wide.
However, with the continuous infusion of the essence of heaven and earth and the essence of the dragon treasure, the vast energy actually turned into liquid and gathered in the pool.
Divine light permeated the pool, where myriad flowers bloomed. The broken Origin Cauldron of All Things, engraved with various patterns, including birds, beasts, fish, insects, the sun, moon, and stars, absorbed the essence in the pool to repair its own cracks.
However, Zhou Xuan's gaze did not fall on the broken immortal artifact cauldron at this moment.
Instead, it landed on the side of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, where the Yin and Yang Great Daos intertwined, sacred phenomena flew about, and even some divine elephants suppressing the prison's power patterns filled the vessel's body, with three thousand chaotic torrents hanging down from top to bottom like the Milky Way.
With the Yin-Yang Divine Eye activated, one could see the core of the seal, where endless Dao patterns and infinite ultimate Dao power were mixed and intertwined, and a phantom of a divine embryo emerged from the core of the endless Dao patterns.
The moment the divine embryo manifested its ethereal form, it devoured all the essence of the surrounding world like a whale swallowing everything in its path.
In the blink of an eye, the essence of the dragon treasure within the Immortal Pool sank more than half an inch.
The moment the essence within the Immortal Pool was swallowed up, the illusory image of the divine embryo, woven from countless Dao patterns, within the core of the Supreme Emperor Seal became even more solid.
Zhou Xuan could even see the wispy, blood vessel-like energy circuits emerging from within and outside the great seal forged from the Chaos Stone Marrow.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan also clearly sensed that the illusory divine embryo within the seal was radiating a sense of closeness to him.
However, Zhou Xuan, who sensed the closeness of the Chaos Seal, showed no warmth on his face. Instead, he revealed a look of alarm as if facing a formidable enemy.
Having gained insights from the Taiyin and Taiyang regarding all the classics he created, Zhou Xuan naturally understood what kind of beings the deities within the ultimate imperial weapons were.
The imperial weapon that gave birth to the deity within the vessel can be considered an extension of the life of an enlightened being, and can almost be described as possessing 'life'.
The problem lies precisely in the word 'life'.
The Chaos Seal forged by Zhou Xuan condensed his entire cultivation of the Great Dao.
If there is one being in the world who understands Zhou Xuan best, then besides the system and Zhou Xuan himself, it is undoubtedly this great seal that Zhou Xuan forged himself.
'If the Chaos Seal, which knows me best, successfully gives birth to a deity, wouldn't that mean my true combat strength has been exposed?!'
Sensing the Chaos Seal and the divine embryo's illusory form's affinity towards him, Zhou Xuan's eyes widened, and he thought to himself:
'How can such a thing be allowed?!'
As soon as the thought formed in his mind, Zhou Xuan reached out and pressed down towards the Chaos Seal.
Grab it and refine it instantly!
The Supreme Emperor Seal, constructed from Chaos Stone Marrow, was originally forged by Zhou Xuan, so naturally it has no ability to resist its master, Zhou Xuan.
In an instant, the overwhelming Great Dao within the Chaos Emperor Seal, the overwhelming divine power that crushed the universe, and the illusory divine embryo deep within the Emperor Seal...
It was then directly refined by Zhou Xuan, returning to its original state and transforming into boundless divine energy, which was poured into the Chaos Emperor Seal and the vast Great Dao.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, had a slight glint in his eyes. He then activated both the Taiyin Dao and the Taiyang Dao.
"Pong!!!"
The origin of the Taiyin and Taiyang Dao Dao transformed into the raging Yin-Yang Dao Fire. As the Chaos Seal floated and sank within the raging Dao Fire, Zhou Xuan opened his mouth and swallowed the raging Dao Fire and the Chaos Seal together.
Using himself as a furnace, he reforged the Chaos Seal.
Having just swallowed the seal, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, a technique at the level of a Second Emperor.
The next day, Zhou Xuan resumed his cultivation.
Zhou Xuan, who had pushed the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, a skill at the level of a Second Emperor, to its current limit, frowned slightly as he assessed his own condition.
Having gained insights from the cultivation of the two ancient emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, Zhou Xuan sensed that something was amiss with the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.
Although during his cultivation, Zhou Xuan clearly sensed that the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique was unmatched by the Taiyin True Scripture and the Taiyang True Scripture in terms of both its conception and its exquisite nature.
However, after reaching the ultimate state of cultivation.
Zhou Xuan clearly sensed that the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique he cultivated possessed the power to elevate his combat strength to the level of a Mortal Immortal, or even further.
However, the subsequent cultivation chapters leading to the Heavenly Emperor Realm and even the Immortal Realm abruptly ended, as if from a precipice.
The feeling of being blocked halfway through a smooth road made Zhou Xuan feel frustrated and his brows furrowed.
"Huh~!!"
Looking at the system description of the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force" at the Second Emperor level on the system interface, Zhou Xuan exhaled a deep breath and thought to himself:
"Although the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique is a treasure of immortality that can enable cultivators to cultivate to the level of immortals or even higher."
"However, the information I have obtained so far can only allow me to raise my combat power to the level of a Second Emperor."
According to Zhou Xuan's calculations, and based on his own cultivation progress,
After consuming all the benefits of the 12th level of flawless emperor-level combat power, it will take him more than two hundred years of painstaking effort to push the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force he currently possesses to the level of the second-generation emperor, which is beyond further advancement.
"The advantage of combat power has been exhausted. All that's left is to slowly absorb the essence of heaven and earth, develop the microparticles in the human body, and enhance combat power."
At this point, Zhou Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the system interface.
Looking at the system interface, Zhou Xuandao saw that he had gained all of the Southern Heavenly Emperor's insights over the past ten years without revealing his Great Emperor's combat strength.
"The combat strength of the Second Emperor alone would require me to spend a full two hundred years of painstaking effort,"
"I don't know how many years of arduous cultivation I will need after obtaining all of the insights of the Southern Mausoleum Heavenly Emperor to elevate my combat power to the Heavenly Emperor level."
At this point, Zhou Xuan spoke with a hint of insatiable greed:
"Why doesn't the system just reward me with a higher cultivation level?!"
"In that case, I won't have to endure such arduous training!"
Shaking his head slightly to dispel the distracting thoughts, Zhou Xuan stood up and stepped down.
The next instant, Zhou Xuan's figure appeared where Xiao Nannan was.
Perhaps it is because of the complete fusion with the counterpart existence in the other world,
Seeing the serene and peaceful expression of the little girl he had sealed within the artifact with divine essence during his battle with the Stone Emperor...
Zhou Xuan clearly sensed that his previously restless heart instantly became calm.
"Without cultivation, one's lifespan is no more than a hundred years. Even with a divine medicine that grants ten thousand years of life, one's lifespan is still only ten thousand years. One cannot live forever, let alone protect oneself."
Looking at the little girl's serene appearance, Zhou Xuan, feeling completely at peace, spoke:
"Therefore, we must let the little girl cultivate!"
"Crack!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the divine source that had sealed Xiao Nannan shattered instantly. Under Zhou Xuan's precise control, the fragments of the divine source, which were radiant with light and exuded boundless essence and energy, did not harm Xiao Nannan in the slightest.
At the same time, a wisp of sacred essence was released by Zhou Xuan and merged into Xiao Nannan's body.
The moment the essence of the Holy Body merged into her body, she wore a flowing, ethereal dress, her entire body cleansed by the Holy Body's essence. Her skin was as white as snow, crystal clear, and fragrant, like a little girl from the Moon Palace.
Her eyelashes fluttered gently, and her large, pure eyes, like black gemstones, were moist and pitiful as she looked at Zhou Xuan, calling out softly:
"Brother~!"
"Nannah."
With a slight wave of his hand, the little girl, as beautiful as a moon goddess, floated over and landed in Zhou Xuan's arms. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and softly said:
"My darling little sister, why are you crying?!"
"Nannan just misses her brother."
The little girl, her soft black hair brushing against Zhou Xuan's chin, spoke with a pitiful expression:
"Nannan doesn't want to be separated from her brother anymore."
"Brother doesn't want to be separated from Nannan either."
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan, his face full of tenderness, raised his hand and gently stroked the little girl's soft hair, saying:
"However, people all have a lifespan; without becoming an immortal, there is no way..."
