These days, the Eastern Wilderness is in turmoil, and too many things have happened, especially in the Northern Region.
First, the human race's supreme expert, Nangong Zheng, killed three Holy Lords in succession. Then, a powerful figure named "Bodhi Patriarch" appeared out of nowhere, who not only obtained the Qilin Divine Medicine Seed but also cut out the legendary Fighting Holy Ape.
The outside World was in an uproar, but Nangong Zheng didn't care and didn't bother to pay attention.
Soon, Nangong Zheng's deity returned and handed the Qilin seed to Nangong Zheng's true form before disappearing into his Dao Palace.
"I finally got the Kirin seed!"
Nangong Zheng was satisfied and smiled, holding the Qilin seed in his hand, which emitted a dazzling purple light.
At this moment, the Qilin seed continuously absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, as if it is being reborn, breathing in and out vital energy like the undulating waves of the sea.
"As expected of a Qilin seed, even as a seed, it possesses such astonishing power!" Nangong Zheng smiled.
The number of immortality herbs that cover the sky is limited, and he now has two in his possession.
The elixir of immortality was extremely important to him because he needed it to cultivate a completely new system, making each one incredibly precious to him.
With the help of the Emperor's humanoid elixir of immortality, he took that crucial step and entered the Qi Refining stage.
However, the Qilin Medicine he has now is just a seed, which is not enough to help him cultivate, so he will put it away for now and wait for it to grow a bit more.
"What other miraculous medicines could we devise?"
Nangong Zheng fell into deep thought, considering the possibility of obtaining other elixirs of immortality.
In the novel "Covering the Sky," there are many divine medicines, including the Divine Phoenix, True Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Nine Wonders, and the Peaches of Immortality.
However, the easiest things to obtain are only humanoid figures and the Qilin elixir of immortality. Apart from these two items, the others seem to be difficult to acquire, especially some elixirs of immortality, which seem to be impossible to obtain in forbidden zones at present.
"Enough, enough. Let's focus on overcoming the Dao first. Without strength, everything is just empty talk!"
Nangong Zheng's realm is the pinnacle of Immortal Two, which is the ninth step of the second level of the Sendai realm.
He was naturally unwilling to stop there and wanted to go further, to get ahead of others, before the World changed.
Today's Beidou has no shortage of leaders from the second level of Sendai, but it is rare to see figures from the third level of Sendai.
Most of the sect leaders in the second game are trapped on this step, possibly for two or three thousand years, until their lifespan is exhausted.
This is why those old holy masters who were about to pass away disregarded everything and entered the seven forbidden lands of life in search of the elixir of immortality.
Nangong is currently aiming to break through to Immortal Level 2 and enter Immortal Level 3, the Dao-Slaying Realm!
The Immortal 3rd chapter severs the path of cultivation, leaving no way to follow the path. Many people dedicate their entire lives to it, only to waste their time and make no progress.
At this hurdle, there's not much difference between cultivating for ten years and a thousand years. If one can gain some insight and has great perseverance, one might break through in a single day. If one doesn't understand, one will be stuck for a lifetime until the end of one's lifespan.
Even the stunning Peacock King and the former Nangong Zheng have been trapped in this hurdle for many years.
Of course, it wasn't just them. Since ancient times, the Path-Slaying Trial in Immortal Three has blocked countless peerless geniuses with extraordinary talent.
Ancient records state that several extraordinary geniuses perished at this level, failing to break through to the Dao and being annihilated in the great calamity. Otherwise, perhaps several more supreme emperors would have been born.
Moreover, there were rumors that a great emperor of the human race almost perished at this hurdle, which shows how difficult it is to sever one's path!
In this one's case, talent is not the decisive factor; the stronger a person is, the greater the obstacles they may encounter.
At this moment, he was somewhat confused. He had clearly reached the bottleneck of the Dao of Severing, so what exactly should he sever?
He pondered quietly, for this concerned his future path, and he had to be cautious.
Cut off my ego, is it to sever the shackles of self, or is it an obsession? At this moment, Nangong Zheng was confused.
Nangong Zheng pondered for a long time but had no clue, and then walked out of his secluded cave.
The moonlight was cold, and the land was barren and desolate. He wandered under the moonlight for a long time, and before he knew it, he had come to an oasis.
Green mountains and clear waters are a rare sight in the vast northern region.
Nangong Zheng looked over and discovered that this place was home to a small sect called "Xuanyue Cave!"
Xuan Yue C"ve is filled "ith ravines and streams, ancient trees that block out the sun, and fairy vines that form bridges that span the cliffs, creating passageways.
On a whim, he stepped into the Xuan Yue Cave's territory and walked across the vine bridge.
This place is full of cliffs and ancient caves, giving people a sense of a hidden paradise and mystery.
What surprised him most was that this place had a special aura, with dragon-shaped mist flowing around it, creating an extraordinary atmosphere, as if some great figure had lived here.
Nangong Zheng sensed something and stepped out, arriving at a secluded place.
This place is barren, with towering cliffs and desolate landscapes, devoid of anything, yet it evokes a sense of timelessness and endlessness.
Ahead lies a broken stone mountain with an ancient cave on it. Time flows like water, and emptiness is like sound, seemingly flowing out from there.
Nangong Zheng stepped out and entered the ancient cave, where he saw a cliff face with several lines of ancient characters worn away.
"Is the Way vast and unknowable? Is the heart unrestrained? Are things ever-present and unrestrained?"
"These are... ancient characters left behind by the Great Empe"o" Wushi!"
He was startled. He remembered that Ye Fengchu had visited Xua" Yue Cave in the original novel and had discovered ancient characters left by Emperor Wushi.
This is the cave dwelling where the Great Emperor Wushi once stayed; no wonder it is so extraordinary!
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, but the traces left by the Great Emperor Wushi remain, allowing people to perceive his majesty.
"The Dao is vast and unknowable…" Nangong Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, feeling lost." The Great Dao is formless and boundless; how can one grasp it?
He stood there for a long time, touching the cold stone wall with his hand. The ancient characters on the stone wall, worn smooth by time, had faded considerably.
However, at this moment, Nangong Zheng was immersed in an extremely ethereal state.
It was as if a shattered historical scroll was unfolding before Nangong, with a phantom figure appearing and disappearing, its light flickering uncertainly.
"As vast as the ocean, as insignificant as a speck of dust..."
After an unknown amount of time, his entire body radiated an immortal, divine light; his pores widened; and he became like a jade figure, immaculate and pure, as if he had undergone a baptism.
At this moment, Nangong Zheng seemed to have lived for countless years, or perhaps in a past life. He seemed to have traversed hundreds of thousands of years and light-years to be in the same place as Wushi.
Past and future are all part of the Tao; everything that happens has its own meaning, and the past and present are all on the same canvas!
"I am the Dao, why should I sever it?" Nangong Zhengming understood that the Dao follows the natural way.
He doesn't need to reverse the" cutting, nor does he need to cut himself; instead, he transcends and doesn't need to cut himself; instead, he transcends and doesn't need to cut himself.
Immediately, he ascended into the sky and arrived at the outer reaches of the Northern Region!
