第2111章不朽不灭唯吾独尊

Chapter 2111 Only I am Immortal and Indestructible

As she spoke, Qing Ying told Lin Xun a story.

A few months ago, after Lin Xun defeated Great Emperor Baqi, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect sent out Skyborne Sword Emperor and the Earth Treasury Realm sent out Heavenly Buddha Emperor to kill Lin Xun.

These two were both terrifying beings who were a part of the Three Ultimate Assassins. Both of them were stronger than Great Emperor Baqi, and they were best at assassination.

Despite that, both of them had been blocked before they could get to their target.

The ones who had taken action were Heaven-Dooming Martial Emperor and Big Yellow, who were under the command of the Lord of Copper Sparrow House.

Upon learning this, Lin Xun felt a chill down his spine. He had realized that his Second Senior Brother had already secretly helped him resolve a huge calamity!

It was also at this time that Lin Xun learned the identities of the drunk man and the big yellow dog who had taken him in on the Uncertain Blood Sea.

Now, he had a better understanding of his Second Senior Brother’s intentions.

It was not that he would not see him, but instead he just wanted to see how capable he was!

In addition, the Nirvana of Transcendence that was going to appear in a year was a test.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xun asked, “You had once told me that if I came to find you, you would tell me something that will only prove to be beneficial to me. What is it?"

Qing Ying smiled and said, "Your Second Senior Brother, Senior Zhong Qiu, was in this hidden realm years ago. He became an Emperor and stepped on the supreme path. You are now a third level supreme quasi-Emperor. You must be preparing to become an Emperor. The benefit I spoke of is related to this."

Even though Lin Xun was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this admission. This was related to becoming an Emperor?

This was something he had never expected!

"Was this also arranged by my Second Senior Brother?" Lin Xun asked.

Qing Ying nodded and said, "It is indeed related to Senior Zhong Qiu, but this matter is also related to someone that you did not expect."

Lin Xun was stunned, "Please enlighten me."

"Array Emperor Lu," Qing Ying uttered those three words gently, and her starry eyes showed her respect for that person from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Xun's hand, which had just picked up the teacup, suddenly froze in mid air as he said, "Who are you talking about?"

Qing Ying said seriously, “Array Emperor Lu, that is, the same Mister Lu who raised you."

Lin Xun's emotions were like the raging sea, and his eyes became blank and erratic. How could Fog Obscured Alm’s Dark Lair and, this fortune related to becoming an Emperor, have anything to do with Mister Lu? R̃åŊÒ𝐁ĘŠ

At this moment, he could not help but be stupefied.

Over the years, Lin Xun had confirmed that Mister Lu, who was being hunted down by Yanxing, was not dead, but he did not know where Mister Lu had gone.

No clues were available!

Qing Ying's unique and pleasant voice that had a hint of magnetism rang out, "Array Emperor Lu, who is also called the Uncrowned Emperor by the many experts, has another identity that most people do not know of. That is, he is the founder of Fog Obscured Alms.

"If it hadn’t been for his guidance, Fog Obscured Alms would have never been as widespread as it is now across the entire Ancient Nebula Road.

"Even Senior Zhong Qiu believes that if it weren't for the fact that his cultivation stage had limited him, Array Emperor Lu’s achievements in the Great Dao would not be any inferior to his!

"After all, in the ancient Dao War of Emperors, Array Emperor Lu, with his quasi-Emperor cultivation, was able to set up the All-Heaven Ninth Array, Killing Array of Punishment, destroying five Emperors and severely injuring another eight, causing the entire starry sky to tremble.

"Therefore, if Array Emperor Lu really became an Emperor, how powerful would he be?”

At the end, a hint of yearning and awe crept into Qing Ying’s voice, which revealed her inner respect and admiration toward this man.

Lin Xun listened while in a daze.

What came to his mind was the old man who had a bad and perverse temper when he was in the mine prison during his childhood. That Mister Lu was extremely demanding towards him in regards to the art of runes…

It turned out that he was not only the master of Zhao Yuanji, the emperor of the Ziyao Empire, but also the founder of Qinglu Academy. Furthermore, he had also left the inheritance of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations in the Rune Master Association.

In addition, he was also called the Uncrowned Emperor and had once been famous in the Ancient Nebula Road, while also being the founder of Fog Obscured Alms in the Underworld!

Lin Xun finally asked, "What is your relationship with Mister Lu?"

"Me?" Qing Ying thought for a moment and said, "Since I was old enough to understand things, I have helped him take care of all the affairs of Fog Obscured Alms. I wanted to worship him as my master, but he never agreed to it. However, he did not stop me from reading some books related to runes that were written by him."

There was a trace of melancholy in her beautiful eyes, "In my heart, I have always regarded him as my father, or my master, but he seems to have only regarded me as a maid who does things for him..."

Lin Xun fell silent.

He couldn't say anything about this matter.

"Later, after the ancient Dao War of Emperors ended, he disappeared. Senior Zhong Qiu also went to search for him, but he couldn't find him. It was only in recent years that I learned that he had gone to a place called the Ziyao Empire."

Qing Ying looked at Lin Xun, "Young Master, you should understand now that after the Dao War of Emperors ended, Array Emperor Lu went to the place where you had grown up when you were young."

Lin Xun couldn't help but sigh.

How could he not understand?

"Here are the records and insights written by Array Emperor Lu in the past, all of which are related to the art of runes. I have been holding onto them for all these years, and now it is time to give them to their rightful owner."

Qing Ying took out a recording slip carved out from the bone of an ancient beast and handed it to Lin Xun, "It contains the All-Heaven Ninth Array, Killing Array of Punishment, and also another incomplete array deduced by Array Emperor Lu, which is called Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing.

"Although it is only an incomplete array that has not been completely perfected, its power is far superior to the Killing Array of Punishment!"

Lin Xun held the slip in his hand. Using his spiritual consciousness, a line of dense dao rune array patterns, diagrams, and text annotations appeared in his mind.

Whether it was the dao runes or words written there, they all gave Lin Xun a long-lost sense of familiarity. He didn't have to think at all to know that this had been written by Mister Lu himself.

"Thank you very much."

Lin Xun took a deep breath, put away the slip, and cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

Qing Ying smiled and said, "Why thank me? My duty is to work on behalf of Array Emperor Lu."

The two then drank tea and talked about other things.

Lin Xun soon learned that Xi had been rescued by his Second Senior Brother Zhong Qiu and was now recovering in a safe place.

Yanxing, the purple-clothed woman, had been lucky enough to survive and had disappeared. According to Qing Ying, Copper Sparrow House was searching for the whereabouts of this woman. As long as they found her, they would kill her as soon as possible.

However, Qing Ying also said that Zhong Qiu suspected that this woman had left and had used the taboo power to seek help from Heavenly Emperor Shi.

In any case, after learning that Xi was fine, Lin Xun's heart, which had been tense with worry, finally relaxed as he felt an unprecedented relief.

At the same time, Lin Xun also learned some secrets related to the Calamity of Ruin.

When this descended, the Nirvana of Transcendence would appear. This was a world related to the Eternal Supremacy Path, which was derived from the origin law power of the Ancient Nebula Road.

This also meant that the taboo law power controlled by Heavenly Emperor Shi could not intervene with it!

Unlike other secret worlds, the Nirvana of Transcendence was also likely to have the laws of reincarnation. The tests faced by the people who entered it were likely to be extremely dangerous.

Once one entered reincarnation, there were only two possibilities. Either one could sink into it and lose their sense of self, or one could reach an extreme transformation and achieve a great revival of their own dao, so as to escape from the predicament.

In addition to the test of reincarnation, the Nirvana of Transcendence was also full of extremely terrible tribulations with foreign demons and experts from other areas sniping at people.

This was because the Eternal Supremacy Path was too powerful. Once someone stepped upon this path, they would be able to assert “only I am immortal and indestructible” in the Emperor Stage!

After learning these secrets, Lin Xun couldn't help but be shocked. Previously, he had learned some information about the third coming of the Calamity of Ruin.

Unfortunately, most of it was vague, and no one could explain why.

For example, the core purpose of the Magnificent Lotus Event currently being held in Thousand Star City was to discuss some secrets and matters related to the Nirvana of Transcendence.

Such inside information would never be spread to the outside world.

At this time, everything Qing Ying told him was undoubtedly inside information, which Lin Xun had never known of before.

When Lin Xun thought that the Eternal Supremacy Path was related to the law of reincarnation, and would attract attacks from the outer demons and outside foreigners, his heart began churning.

Just this phrase "only I am immortal and indestructible" showed that it was indeed too heaven-defying and crazy. It wasn't surprising that everyone in the world would covet something like this.

"However, before the third coming of the Calamity of Ruin arrives, all of this is just speculation. After all, the Nirvana of Transcendence has never appeared in the past, so no one dares to claim that they know what will happen there."

Qing Ying continued, "The only thing that can be certain is that if you want to have the opportunity and qualifications to enter Nirvana of Transcendence there are two conditions.”

"Which two?" Lin Xun asked.

"The first is to be a cultivator who has embarked on the supreme path. Regardless of the level of cultivation, even if one is a cultivator of the lower five realms, one is qualified to enter."

She paused and then said, "The second is for those who have stepped into the Emperor Stage. As long as their strength is within the ninth realms of the Emperor Stage, they can enter."

As soon as Qing Ying finished speaking, Lin Xun's heart sank. Emperor Baqi was an eighth-realm Emperor. The kind of power he possessed was extremely terrifying, so Lin Xun had to rely on external tricks to defeat him. If a ruthless expert at the ninth level of the Emperor Stage also participated in the competition inside the Nirvana of Transcendence, who could be their opponent?

In fact, in the Ancient Nebula Road, there may be quite a few old monsters at the ninth level.

However, when Nirvana of Transcendence appeared, how could these old monsters refuse the temptation of becoming "only I am immortal and indestructible"?

Even if other experts participated, how could they compete against such old freaks?

It was no different from seeking death!

Qing Ying seemed to guess what he was worried about and whispered, "Young Master, there is no need to be anxious about this. The stronger one is, the more terrible the dangers one will encounter there. If ordinary cultivators are just fireflies, then these old monsters are bright lights, which will attract the most terrible dangers to them."
