Chapter 181 The Supreme's Helplessness
Chapter 181 The Supreme's Helplessness
At this time, Ye Xiu was sitting opposite the Immortal Emperor.
"Congratulations, Master. You have lived another life and have hope of becoming an immortal!"
The Immortal Emperor said with a hint of envy in his eyes that in a world without immortal substances, living four lifetimes backwards was an unimaginable thing. Even in the fairyland, such an amazing person had not appeared for a long time.
“Li’er, you are not bad either. With your qualifications, it is only a matter of time for you to reach my level!” Ye Xiu praised.
"Master, why are you here this time?" The Immortal Emperor asked. They were master and disciple. Although they had not seen each other for more than ten thousand years, they had a good relationship in the past. So he asked directly without any probing.
“To put it in context, we have known each other for over 100,000 years!” Ye Xiu sighed, and then continued, “I know your greatest wish is to enter the fairyland and return to your hometown. This time I came to you to discuss entering the fairyland!”
Ye Xiu didn't say any unnecessary words and directly stated the purpose of his visit. Because he knew that although the Immortal Emperor had changed from the original work, entering the fairyland and returning to his homeland were still his biggest concerns.
In this lower world lacking in life-promoting substances, even though he had become the emperor respected by all races, ruling over the entire universe and controlling an era, this was not what he wanted.
Moreover, he is different from the local creatures. For him, who was born in the fairyland, as long as he does not die, it is inevitable that he will practice step by step, step into the fairyland, and become a real fairy phoenix.
Falling to the mortal world was originally an accident, which interrupted his original life trajectory.
Just imagine, he originally had a starting point that was countless times higher than that of billions of creatures, even countless amazing geniuses who could stir up an era. What they pursued all their lives, to enter the fairyland, was just what he had when he was born.
However, an accident caused him to fall from the high and mighty fairyland that countless human supreme beings longed for but could not reach to the mortal world.
Having to leave his loved ones, he still has to fight for survival with countless living beings in the mortal world. Such a struggle may not be possible even if he spends his entire life on it. How can he not feel unbalanced?
If he is not given a clear hope, he might still go back to his old path and waste his years struggling in the long world.
“Entering the fairyland? Master, have you made preparations?” The Immortal Emperor was surprised. At the end of the mythological era, Ye Xiu had already told him that entering the fairyland was an extremely difficult thing. Without becoming an immortal in the mortal world, it would be impossible to open the gate to the fairyland.
As for Ye Xiu's statement, after he became the Supreme, ruled the universe, and suppressed an era, he also knew the difficulty of entering the fairyland.
Even the Heavenly Court and the Emperor at the end of the mythological era established the Heavenly Court, controlled the entire universe to refine the Nine-Transformation Immortal Pill, invited dozens of supreme beings to be born together, and attacked the path to immortality at the peak of their power.
But in the end, he ended up with failure in his immortal journey, the collapse of heaven, and the fall of the supreme being.
On that day when he was on the road to becoming an immortal, he saw with his own eyes that whether it was Ye Xiu, Emperor Zun, Wuliang Tianzun, or even several supreme beings who were born together, they all rushed into the crack of the portal to the immortal realm when the immortal barrier was broken.
But it ended in failure in the end, they failed to truly break through the Immortal Realm, and lost several supreme beings.
Now, when he suddenly heard Ye Xiu mention entering the fairyland, his heart suddenly froze. Could it be that his master had found a true immortal path at a time unknown to him, and could lead him into the fairyland?
Ye Xiu did not answer the Immortal Emperor directly, but stood up, looked at the boundless universe, and slowly said: "Do you know why no supreme being has truly broken into the fairyland since this mythological era?"
"It's not the right time and the right place, so the fairyland is not open to the outside world." The Immortal Emperor answered subconsciously. He was born in the fairyland and naturally knew the rules of opening the fairyland's portal. If it wasn't the right time and the right place, the fairyland's portal would naturally not be open to the nine heavens and ten earths.
"This is just one of the reasons!" Ye Xiu said calmly. The answer from the Immortal Emperor was within his expectations.
"The right time and the right place. All the Heavenly Lords of the mythological era, and even at the end of the mythological era, the Emperor and the Supreme Lords, including me and the Underworld Lord, have deduced that the right time and the right place will not be opened until millions of years later!" Ye Xiu said calmly. Only at the right time and in the right place can one enter the fairyland. It is unknown who first said this, but this statement has been around since the beginning of the mythological era.
This rumor has been circulating even in earlier times, and those supreme beings who had already achieved enlightenment in the mythological era, even though they had made deductions and came to this conclusion, still did not believe it.
So when they were at the peak of their lives, they all tried to break into the fairyland, but without exception they all ended in failure.
Even the nine great celestial masters, including Ye Xiu himself, had forcefully attacked the path to immortality when he was at the peak of his power in his second life.
Even though he was holding the immortal weapon Pangu Banner, he was still unable to break through the immortal barrier in the end.
“Li’er, everyone has their end. With millions of years, which supreme being can survive until that time?” Ye Xiu said with a sigh. Even if the supreme being cut himself with a sword, sealed his own immortal source and turned it into a forbidden area, it is impossible for him to wait until that time.
It’s such a long time that even if it’s the Immortal Source, it’s impossible for the Supreme to keep it sealed until that time.
Being sealed in the Immortal Source cannot stop the loss of vitality, but it will only make the process extremely slow. The higher the realm of a person, the more the Immortal Source cannot prevent the loss of life essence.
Even in the end, the Immortal Source could not stop the loss of the essence of life. At that time, the Supreme had no other choice.
Either you just pass away and return to heaven and earth, leaving only regrets and eternity in emptiness.
Either you try your best, try nirvana, live a new life, continue your glorious life, and then seal yourself again.
Or he could launch a dark turmoil, massacre all living beings, and seize their life essence to repair the cracks on the immortal platform.
He has already sealed himself as the source of immortality, turned himself into the supreme being of the forbidden area, and waited for such a long time. How could he give up and leave regrets behind?
Take the many supreme beings in the mythological era as an example. Even if they sealed themselves as immortals, they could only be sealed for a million years before they could no longer hold on.
Calculating the time, the supreme beings who have been sealed in the early mythological era will not be able to hold on by the middle of the ancient times. At that time, they will come out to the world, start a dark chaos, massacre all living beings and seize the essence of life.
As time went on, especially in the ancient times, not only the supreme beings of the mythological era, but even the self-proclaimed emperors of the ancient times might not be able to hold on.
This is also the reason why dark turmoil occurred frequently in the ancient times. Because by that era, more and more supreme beings could not hold on any longer, and the Immortal Source could not prevent the loss of their life essence, so they had to launch dark turmoil.
Nirvana and live another life?
The Supreme had thought about this before. If he could continue to live with his peak combat power, who would be willing to cut himself off and seal himself into the immortal source for a long sleep?
But this is not an easy thing to do. All the supreme beings have thought of using all means to achieve nirvana and rebirth in their second old age.
However, their life essence was being lost too quickly, and the chance of failure was as high as 90%. No supreme being was willing to risk his own life to try.
When that time comes, they will use all the methods that can stop or alleviate the loss of vitality, such as the life-extending essence, the elixir of immortality, the elixir of nirvana, etc.
As for sitting in meditation and dissolving the world, how is that possible? Those supreme beings have been waiting for millions of years. If they persist, they will reach the right time and place. How can it end like this?
So, all that was left was to launch a dark turmoil, obtain the life essence of all living beings, slow down the loss of one's own vitality, and wait for the right time and the right place.
