Chapter 1585: Eight-Nine Cultivation Technique, Destruction Before Renewal

Chapter 1585: Chapter 1585: Eight-Nine Cultivation Technique, Destruction Before Renewal

Suddenly, Yang Yan’s expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated backward.

Just a moment ago, a withered hand had grabbed Yang Yan.

In a desperate moment, Yang Yan directly wielded the World-Ending Demon Spear.

The owner of the withered hand murmured, "Wish Power, Void Gold?"

Yang Yan felt a dizzying sensation and was instantly taken into the tomb by the owner of that hand.

As Yang Yan awoke, he instinctively broke free from the owner’s hand and retreated to the side, watching the other vigilantly.

It was only then that Yang Yan realized that inside the tomb was a small world.

Though desolate, it was extremely complete.

Yang Yan finally saw the true face of the owner of the hand.

Although the hand was extremely withered, the person seemed alive, their body full and their Spiritual Sense vast.

Yang Yan was startled; this person was the fifth-generation ancestor.

However, he had not expected him to appear before him in this manner.

The man murmured, "Never expected that after so many years, someone could have such endurance like me, Jian Qingchen, abolishing their cultivation to start anew."

Upon close observation, Yang Yan discovered that although Jian Qingchen’s flesh was full, his entire body emitted an extremely dense death aura.

His vast Spiritual Sense was merely a lingering obsession...

Despite his wariness, Yang Yan respectfully said, "This junior merely experienced an accident, leading to the loss of cultivation, not a deliberate restart."

Jian Qingchen’s hollow eyes stared at Yang Yan, piercing deep into his heart and soul.

After a long moment, Jian Qingchen laughed softly, "Not bad, not bad! Excellent bone structure, a strong body, worthy of receiving my legacy."

Suddenly, Jian Qingchen shifted his tone, "Descendant, what is your view on the current cultivation path?"

Though puzzled, Yang Yan answered truthfully, "The current cultivation path is extremely perfect, and as a junior with shallow cultivation, I haven’t noticed any issues."

Jian Qingchen laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Unexpected, unexpected that people are so confused. If the current cultivation path was correct, why are Immortal Emperors so rare and Immortal Monarchs few and far between?"

Yang Yan’s heart subtly moved, quietly asking, "Was the cultivation method once altered by certain entities?"

"But if it was altered, why have the people of the current era not detected any anomalies and let this flawed cultivation method spread?"

Jian Qingchen sneered, "The world’s rules were set by the strong. The Ancient True Immortals fell to extinction long ago."

"And those close to True Immortals, who hid during the True Immortal battles, after their deaths, cooperatively established the ancient covenant. They thoroughly transformed the original cultivation system of the world!"

Yang Yan had been through so much recently, each revelation more shocking than the last, but now upon hearing this secret, his heart had become numb, without ripples.

Yang Yan mulled it over, puzzled, "Wouldn’t those who can cultivate to the Immortal Emperor level realize this? Why do they not change the cultivation system?"

Jian Qingchen coldly smirked, mockingly, "Hmm! Which among those who became Immortal Emperors were not calculating individuals? Why would they tolerate others standing at equal status with them?"

"Now it’s hard to become an Immortal Monarch; Immortal Emperors are few, towering above all. Why should they alter the cultivation system and threaten their reign?"

Yang Yan felt a chill in his heart.

But putting himself in their shoes, if he reached that realm, wouldn’t he be the same?

Yang Yan wasn’t a Saint, merely an ordinary individual climbing step by step through cultivation, but his feelings remained a simple mortal’s.

Thinking this, Yang Yan felt a touch of helplessness in his heart.

Jian Qingchen stared directly into Yang Yan’s eyes, "Are you willing to inherit my legacy? I can aid you in reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, and with the World Tree, you might have a chance to touch eternity."

Yang Yan, despite his longing, was well aware that there’s never a free lunch.

He calmly asked, "Why would you give this opportunity to me? Surely you seek something from me?"

Jian Qingchen snorted, "I won’t give my legacy for nothing. My demand is simple; when you achieve the Immortal Emperor status, I want you to kill all current Immortal Emperors!"

"Whether you restore the former cultivation system afterward is up to you. However, a piece of advice: don’t alter the current system until you’ve become an Immortal Emperor."

As he spoke, his hollow eyes exploded with a blood-red light, filled with deep-seated hatred.

Yang Yan felt a sense of awe.

Perhaps Jian Qingchen’s demise wasn’t simply due to exhausted lifespan.

Back then, with many Immortal Emperors awake, they probably played a considerable role.

Jian Qingchen looked at Yang Yan, a cold smile flashing on his lips, "Seems you’re not too foolish. Indeed! Back then, more than one Immortal Emperor took action. They feared I’d threaten their rule."

"Had I not understood the way of the Immortal Emperor, this trace of lingering thought wouldn’t exist."

Yang Yan couldn’t help but ask, "Can Immortal Emperors truly endure eternally in the world?"

Jian Qingchen self-mockingly replied, "It’s just one cosmic epoch. When the cosmos evolves again, under its rules, they inevitably become cosmic nourishment."

"Of course, you could also say they become another form of eternal existence. Although their bodies remain imperishable through cosmic evolution, they merely become invincible artifacts."

At this, Jian Qingchen glanced at the World-Ending Demon Spear in Yang Yan’s hand, "The spear you’re holding is forged from Void Gold, transformed from the flesh of an Ancient True Immortal controlling Space Origin from ancient times."

Yang Yan’s hand trembled slightly, nearly dropping the World-Ending Demon Spear.

To think the weapon he used for so long was made from the corpse of an Ancient True Immortal.

Yang Yan couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Jian Qingchen suddenly said, "I don’t have much time left; this lingering thought is about to fall asleep. Let me quickly impart the Eight-Nine Celestial Technique to you."

"This technique requires you to first dissolve your own cultivation, merging with your physical body, giving birth to a Power of Nothingness between the cultivation and the flesh. You’ve completed the first step."

"You’ve generated a Power of Nothingness within. All that’s left is to use the Eight-Nine Celestial Technique I impart to you, destroying your physical body nine times, thus achieving the Immortal Emperor physique."

"The reason for the rarity of Immortal Emperors is the lack of corresponding techniques to refine the body after True Immortals, making the body unable to withstand the Rule Origin, hindering breakthrough."

Yang Yan curiously asked, "Didn’t those Ancient True Immortals who fell leave behind corresponding techniques?"
