Fortunately, he has strong personal strength and many back-up plans. Moreover, the ancient curse was cast by a True Immortal-level being and is aimed at True Immortals and Immortals. Otherwise, even with many back-up plans, he would not be able to escape death.
Three thousand years ago, Genjin went out to sea again. This time, he encountered a living creature, a powerful True Immortal cultivator, covered in blood. It seemed that he had just experienced a fierce battle and his injuries had not yet fully recovered. He stood alone on a deck, drifting with the waves.
The waves were rolling and surging, causing the deck under the immortal's feet to shake violently, giving people a feeling that they might fall off at any time.
He saw Hengjin steering the ancient ship from afar. When he saw Hengjin's realm at the pinnacle of humanity, this true immortal was shocked.
Because the minimum requirement for sailing in the sea is to be a true immortal, he has never seen a human being go to sea.
Afterwards, the True Immortal waved his hand and sent a message to Genjin, asking him to give him a ride and that he would reward him handsomely after returning to the dam world.
Hengjin should have rejected this request, because the creatures in the Sailing Sea cannot be trusted. They will turn to war at any time and change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
However, the True Immortal was covered in blood, his breath was weak, and his injuries had not yet recovered. Meanwhile, Guangxian was in his peak state, so he was not afraid of him turning against him. This was a good opportunity for him to test the results of his practice.
So, Genjin steered the ancient ship closer, opened the defensive barrier, and allowed the immortals to board.
At first, the seriously injured immortal looked grateful, and kept thanking and promising to reward him handsomely after reaching the shore.
Later, after he found out the truth about the ancient ship and confirmed that there was only Gengjin and no other living being, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Zhenxian's eyes.
However, he was very cautious and careful. It seemed strange no matter how you looked at it that a human creature was sailing alone on an ancient ship in the sea of boundaries.
He kept probing with words, intentionally or unintentionally trying to find out the whole story of what had happened.
Genjin naturally knew what this creature was thinking, and he was very "cooperative" and "told everything".
Finally, the True Immortal confirmed that there was no problem and they could start.
He unknowingly came behind Genjin, revealing his fangs and true face.
"Boy, I have to say that you are very brave to follow your elders to such a place. It's a pity that your elders died suddenly, and you are the only one left alive.
I don't think you can survive in the Boundary Sea, so I will free you as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhenxian rushed over like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He felt that before Genjin's elders died, they must have left all the precious things to Genjin, so he wanted to snatch them away and keep them for himself.
However, I have been waiting for a long time, waiting for this moment.
He turned around, and a huge millstone of chaos appeared on his fist, turning the heavens and crushing time and years, which was extremely terrifying.
A great war broke out. In an instant, the ancient ship shook and the void exploded. This was a war of counter-attack that had never happened before. The enemy was a wounded and bloody immortal.
This battle was extremely fierce. The fact that this immortal creature could sail in the sea of boundaries was enough to show how extraordinary he was. Even if he was injured, he was no match for any human being.
However, Guangjin's combat power has already reached the level of immortality. After various bloodline powers were integrated by the bloodline fruit, they achieved a qualitative transformation and leap, almost shedding colorful bone marrow and blood. Coupled with the second level of the Immortal Sutra, he already has the strength to fight.
The two fought for thousands of rounds. The injured immortal looked at the creature in front of him and couldn't help showing a look of shock. Is this really a human being? Why is it so powerful?
That colorful, faintly seven-colored terrifying energy and blood was so huge that even the True Immortals felt trembling and fear. It was simply a monster.
In the human realm, he possessed the five-colored blood that only the immortal king possessed, and when he was striving to reach the peak of the extreme way, he almost broke through to the seven-colored supreme realm. Although he failed and wasted a lot of time, his blood power was further enhanced and he was already very close to the seven-colored supreme realm.
That is the sign of a giant. Once you step into this field, relying solely on the power of qi and blood, you can fight across levels and cause chaos in the world.
After a brutal battle, the True Immortal was killed on the spot by Genjin.
Before dying, the Zhenxian shouted unwillingly, angrily accusing Gengjin of lying. There was no such thing as being taken to sea by elders. With Gengjin's strength, he was more than capable of going to sea on his own.
In response to this, Hengjin simply responded with one sentence.
"This is the Sea of Boundaries. Do you believe everything others say? You will learn from your mistakes. However, you don't have a chance anymore. Be careful in your next life."
After saying this, the True Immortal was beheaded and died unwillingly.
The first time he slaughtered an immortal, he felt extremely excited. He used humanity to defeat the immortals. How many people throughout history could have achieved such an accomplishment?
Looking back now, all the efforts were worth it and I got the due rewards.
A thousand years ago, Genjin went out to sea for the last time. This time, he encountered crazy and bloodthirsty dark immortals. There were many of them, with bloodshot eyes and insane minds. When they saw Genjin, they rushed towards him like hungry wolves and started hunting him.
This battle was the most brutal one since he reached the pinnacle of Jidao. He used all his skills, brought his powerful blood and body to the extreme, and fought a bloody battle with those dark immortals who were in a state of madness.
He fought desperately, shooting down one True Immortal after another, until his energy ran out and he was taken away by the shadow of Luo Mo and returned to the dam world.
Since the number of Dark True Immortals was astonishing, almost reaching double digits, Genjin was unable to slay them for the second time. He only shot them down and dropped them into the Sea of Boundary. Given how powerful these Dark True Immortals were, this level of power was not enough to take their lives.
As for Genjin himself, not only was he exhausted and on the verge of death, he was also seriously injured, and both his body and soul were on the verge of collapse.
After returning to the dam world, he had been recuperating and gaining enlightenment until today, five hundred years later, when he finally woke up.
"are you awake?"
Luo Mo also opened his eyes and looked at his disciple with concern in his eyes.
Over the past ten thousand years, he had witnessed all kinds of heaven-defying actions, sailing through the sea of boundaries, attacking immortals, fighting eight dark immortals alone, and persisting to the end...
It is hard to believe that this is what a human being does. What ordinary immortals cannot do, Qianjin has done.
As his master, Luo Mo was proud of him and at the same time, had high expectations for him.
Genjin nodded, then stood up and bowed to Luo Mo as a master and disciple.
For a full ten thousand years, Luo Mo had been guarding the embankment, protecting him and saving his life more than once, allowing him to roam freely in the waters near the boundary sea.
This kind of kindness is hard to describe.
Luo Mo smiled and shook his head: "As long as you can grow up and become the Immortal King, it will be the greatest reward for your teacher."
Afterwards, he told Hengjin that from the Immortal King's perspective, Hengjin still had room for improvement and there was no need to rush into the immortal realm.
Because over the years, Gengjin has been getting stronger, as if there is no limit, and there has been no situation where he is stuck at a bottleneck and unable to move forward.
This shows that the current practice of Taoism has not yet reached the true pinnacle of humanity. Although this is a little unbelievable, Luo Mo is convinced that this conclusion is correct.
In this case, then we should continue to strive for the pinnacle of humanity and see how far we can go. Once we have truly reached the pinnacle and there is no further to go, it will not be too late to strive for immortality.
Genjin nodded. He thought so too. Although he could now fight against immortal creatures, he was still lacking something and could not maneuver freely.
"You can go deeper into the sea. This time, I will go with you."
Chapter 254: The Epochal Artifact
As he spoke, Roma released a huge warship, which was filled with the aura of the Immortal King, and landed on the vast sea of boundaries.
The master and his disciple boarded the ship and set out on their journey to the sea boundary.
This is a long and wonderful journey. The sea of realms is vast and boundless. Even a strong immortal king would need to spend countless years to cross it. During the journey, one can see all kinds of strange sights that cannot be seen in the heavens and myriad realms.
It is also an extremely dangerous journey. Throughout the ages, countless people have gone to sea, including true immortals, immortals, immortal kings, immortal kings... too many of them, all pouring into this ocean and crossing to the other side.
During this process, the strong men tried every possible means to become stronger and defeat the king to become the emperor. Various tragedies occurred, and no one who crossed the sea boundary did not experience a great war.
Just like Gu Wudi’s master, the owner of the Cross Yin-Yang Forbidden Zone, he was originally a powerful giant. He crossed the sea, fought all the way, and finally returned after a hundred battles. He was so seriously injured that he disintegrated and passed away. Only a wisp of inextinguishable obsession remained in the world.
Luo Mo drove the boat and took Gengjin deep into the sea of boundaries to help him find an opportunity for a breakthrough, which naturally involved a battle.
Sometimes, when encountering true immortals and immortals, it is Hengjin who takes action to conquer them. Sometimes, when encountering a hostile immortal king, a dark king or a king who has fallen into madness, it is Luomo who takes action to resist.
He never fights to the end, he just wants to scare the enemy away, because in a king-level battle, if the difference in strength is not big, it will take a long time to decide the winner.
Even if Luo Mo did not bring along the burden of Gengjin and went out to sea alone, he would not consume too much energy in a battle, which would increase his risk of death, unless the opponent was determined to fight him to the death and there was no way to avoid it.
Time flies by, and thousands of years pass in the blink of an eye.
It is now 20,000 years old, and is still in the realm of humanity, having not yet set foot in immortality.
However, he did not waste these ten thousand years, but spent them in the tempering and conquest of the power of the sea boundary.
It should be noted that the environment of the Sea of Realm is of great help to the Immortal King in honing his Taoism, not to mention any human being.
With the help of many parties, Guangjin's Taoism has been steadily improving, gradually approaching a peak. His combat power has also undergone earth-shaking changes. When competing with the True Immortals, he is no longer so powerless, and becomes stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
During this process, all aspects of Genjin's characteristics were widening at the speed of light.
His body was too powerful, with blood power close to the Seven-Color Supreme Realm. His extremely strong body and bones were like a blazing sun, suppressing his other characteristics.
In comparison, Genjin's soul is much weaker, and his magic power is far less amazing than his physical body.
As time goes by, the difference between what is cultivated and what one actually possesses inevitably arises. The gap between innate and acquired cannot be truly eliminated, and the same is true for this body.
He couldn't abandon the physical body refined by the Yin-Yang Furnace and follow the path of the primordial spirit like the divine body did.
Because the soul is the harbor and source of a living being's consciousness. Without the soul, the physical body will lose its leadership and will become confused.
From this perspective, Yongjin is not the true pinnacle of humanity. Without the acquired cultivation of the primordial spirit, he cannot reach that level.
However, compared with ordinary supreme beings, his soul stands out from the crowd and is powerful enough, but not as amazing as his physical body.
This is the essence of life, everything is as expected.
In the bounded sea, on an island of considerable size, Luo Mo brought Genjin to the island.
They are not the only creatures on the island. There have long been ancient kings sitting cross-legged on the island, practicing silently.
"Lomo? Long time no see."
The ancient king opened his eyes and spoke to Romo.
Obviously, he and Luo Mo are old acquaintances, otherwise, Luo Mo would not have brought his apprentice to the island. Such behavior would be understood as a provocation in the Boundary Sea, thus triggering a war.
"Long time no see. If I remember correctly, it has been eleven eras since we last met." Luo Mo responded.
The ancient king grinned when he heard this. He looked dry, stiff, and lifeless, like a stone statue.
"Yes, it has been eleven eras, and you are still as charming as ever, but I suffered a setback in the sea of boundaries and had to return early." He sneered and said so.
"Brother Dao, you are wrong. The king who returns from the sea boundary is stronger than the king on the other side of the dam boundary no matter what." Luo Mo shook his head.
The ancient king did not respond, but just smiled bitterly, as if he was thinking of the battle in the Sea of Boundaries where he suffered a setback.
"I see a dark storm brewing in the depths of the sea. I think the reckoning will come soon. What are your plans, brother?" Luo Mo asked tentatively.
The creatures on the island are not immortal kings from foreign lands, but kings from other realms. However, their mother realm was destroyed more than ten epochs ago, and now that they have returned, they have no place to stay. The island under their feet is just a stopover for them. When the dark storm comes, they will still have to return to the heavens and all realms.
Therefore, Roma wanted to invite this creature to settle in the foreign land.
"I know what you want to say, but the ancient world where you are is surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides. It is already overwhelmed. If you join them, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?
Besides, the death of an outsider is not a pity. Since ancient times, countless kings have become stepping stones for others and died in vain without any clear reason. I don’t want to be like this.”
"Brother Dao, you are overthinking. Our world is different. All the kings are united as one. We treat all the kings from outside sincerely and never let them take the lead.
As for what Brother Dao said, that our world is unable to take care of itself, that is nonsense. The giants in our world, Kundi, Wushang, Pu Mowang, Chi Wang, etc., are so powerful that even the fairyland dare not invade. How can they be unable to take care of themselves?
If Brother Dao joins, there will be no worries during the Great Reckoning, and we will be able to get through it safely. Moreover, our world has abundant resources, a complete interface, and the World Tree is in charge. It is a rare place to stay. I hope Brother Dao will seriously consider it. "Luo Mo said seriously.
