The three of them took the Heavenly Emperor's Immortal Treasure and did not return it, Su Jie went even further, providing the Kunlun Mirror to Emperor Tianwu, giving him the capital to contend against the Heavenly Emperor.
For the Heavenly Emperor, these actions ant that Su Jie and the others were walking the path of their own destruction. As long as the Heavenly Emperor won, he would not spare Su Jie and the others, and they were all well aware of this.
"Damn it, how is the Heavenly Emperor still alive? I thought he perished along with the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother."
Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate's face was gloomy, the series of unexpected events in the Heavenly Palace ca too suddenly.
The Heavenly Emperor, the strongest immortal, had not fallen, but was in the Heavenly Palace, sleeping and healing.
The Human Emperor died, but was revived through possession by Tian Wu, and even engaged in a fierce battle with the Heavenly Emperor.
"The ancient tis are too distant, the records are unclear. If we had known the Heavenly Emperor was alive, we wouldn't have entered the Heavenly Palace for anything, and now we've caught his attention."
Su Jie sighed, then took out a strand of Hongng Immortal Light, a smile appearing on his face.
Fortunately, Su Jie did not co away empty-handed from his entry into the Heavenly Palace. Those strands of Hongng Immortal Qi, related to the secret of immortality, were worth the risk to attempt.
Su Jie tried to absorb this strand of Hongng Immortal Qi.
Currently, Emperor Tianwu and the Heavenly Emperor were still in fierce battle, and no one could guarantee that Emperor Tianwu would ultimately be victorious.
If the Heavenly Emperor won the battle, he would undoubtedly beco a lamb to be slaughtered.
The only hope lay in the Hongng Immortal Qi.
Only by becoming an immortal could he have the confidence to face the Heavenly Emperor.
And Su Jie was not the only one with this thought; the three Xingyue Heavenly Venerates also pinned their hopes on the Hongng Immortal Qi. Their eyes showed excitent as they longed for this costly Hongng Immortal Qi, and they began to absorb it spontaneously.
The Hongng Immortal Qi was intangible, like a hazy moonlight reflection, emitting a dreamy and enchanting halo.
When Su Jie attempted to absorb it, the strand of Hongng Immortal Qi slowly began to perate into Su Jie's body.
Boom!
Like the explosion of a galaxy, Su Jie's True Spirit seed to be split into two, then four, then eight, continuously splitting and rging into the Tao River.
At this mont, Su Jie's perspective was continuously elevated. With a macro overhead view, he saw the entirety of the Tao River.
The mighty Tao River encircled the Universe, expanding every mont by light-years to the exterior. But this expansion of the Universe, one could say, was the expansion of the Tao River.
It was precisely the continuous extension of the waters of the Tao River that provided constant support for the ever-expanding Universe.
Compared to the Ancient Tis, the Universe had expanded significantly. The immortal wars that erupted in the Ancient Tis probably devastated and hard this Universe severely, the effects on Spiritual Energy and other cultivation resources lingered to this day, which explains the significant decline in both number and quality of cultivators since the battle at the Heavenly Palace.
His mind racing, Su Jie discovered his thoughts beca incredibly powerful as he observed the truths of the Universe from a macro domain.
He saw the fundantal laws contained within the Tao River, the foundations of the Tao, understanding the operational rules of the world, the Chaos Ten Thousand Paths, seeming to be madly comprehending and analyzing everything.
Especially the Chaos Ten Thousand Paths rooted in the Tao River, which fused into each other, evolving into Chaotic Qi Flows, thus forming the Tao River.
Moreover, Su Jie looked through the phenona to get to the essence, seeing the faint existence of the Primordial Origin within the Tao River, with leaves and roots and tree trunks, as if paving the riverbed of the Tao River, supporting its existence.
At this mont, Su Jie made many connections. In the Primordial Universe, where there was no concept of ti, the Hongng Immortal Tree couldn't withstand the pressure of the expanding vast Universe, causing its trunk to break and collapse, leading to the fragntation of the Primordial Universe.
Due to the death of the Hongng Immortal Tree, the Primordial Origin scattered throughout the Universe, transforming into the boundless Tao River, thus allowing the Universe to give birth to Chaos Laws, granting new life out of destruction to the Primordial Universe, reinforcing it instead.
The Hongng Immortal Qi Su Jie was absorbing was transford from the power of the Primordial Origin of the Hongng Immortal Tree, sharing the sa source as the Hongng Immortal Tree.
This also explains why, in the Tao River, immortals could sever Hongng Immortal Qi and integrate it into the Power of the Root of the Dao, using it as their strongest force against enemies.
Essentially, the Tao River is what the Hongng Immortal Tree beca after its death, the Hongng Immortal Qi is part of it, inevitably obtainable from the Tao River.
Enlightennt dawned on Su Jie's heart. For a cultivator to beco immortal and accomplish the final leap of Crossing Dao Heavenly Venerable, they must comprehend Chaos Ten Thousand Paths, integrate them into their Tao Root Source Law, separate it from the Tao River, and form a standalone small Tao River with its own system, or it can be seen as a tributary of the Tao River, a naturally evolved small universe.
If the current Tao River is what the Hongng Immortal Tree transford into, then becoming immortal requires carving one's own path.
To go with the ordinary is to remain mortal, to oppose is to beco immortal!
Emperor Tianwu's words echoed in Su Jie's mind: cultivators can only grow along the Tao River, but immortals can travel against it, creating their own path, eventually becoming broader than the Tao River.
The Hongng Immortal Tree is like nature's trees; if you walk along the Tao River, no matter how far you go, you are only branches and leaves of the Hongng Immortal Tree, incapable of surpassing the tree itself.
But if you choose to cut yourself off, severing your ties with the Hongng Immortal Tree, like a willow, oak, gardenia, or Arhat Pine, taking root from cuttings, then one day, you may grow taller than the parent tree.
Being an immortal is not just about a change in strength.
Essentially, every immortal can be seen as a small Hongng Immortal Tree, with unlimited potential for future growth.
Understanding this concept happens in an instant, and Su Jie finally begins to take action, attempting to comprehend and integrate the Chaos Ten Thousand Paths.
The Chaos Ten Thousand Paths are a virtual notion, representing those fundantal Chaos Laws within the Tao River, akin to the immutable mathematical theorems of the Universe, such as the most well-known Pythagorean theorem, where the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
These Chaos Ten Thousand Paths Laws are like those mathematical theorems, forever established within the Tao River.
Humans use mathematics to understand the world, while immortals use the Chaos Ten Thousand Paths Laws as tools to calculate, deduce, and analyze, aiding their comprehension of the essence of the Tao River, understanding the Primordial Origin. Only by first learning to imitate can one make a cut.
It is unrealistic to expect soone unfamiliar with the Tao River to create a separate small Tao River after making a cut.
Just like you couldn't expect an elentary student to break through a world-class mathematical conjecture.
At this mont, Su Jie's thoughts were expanding, continually comprehending the Chaos Ten Thousand Paths, using these tools to aid in understanding the Primordial Origin.
But it was easier said than done, as Su Jie's path was not easy.
The Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother, born in the Ancient Tis, likely ca from the sa source as the Hongng Immortal Tree, which bore fruit as the Hongng Immortal Tree, facilitating their swift understanding of the Chaos Ten Thousand Paths and achieving immortality shortly after being born.
However, a cultivator like Su Jie found it much harder to comprehend, even with the help of the Hongng Immortal Qi, he only understood a few dozen Chaos Basic Laws, re drops in the ocean compared to the vastness of fundantal laws.
Once the Hongng Immortal Qi was thoroughly digested, Su Jie opened his eyes, his gaze bright with spirit, looking at this Universe once more was completely different from before.
Su Jie saw the Universe's veins, saw the Universe's breathing growth, saw the truth of the Universe's operation, and even if only scratching the surface, it was intrinsically different from the past.
Previously, the Universe Su Jie saw was like the colorful world seen by animals like cats and dogs, in only monotone black, white, and gray. Whereas in human eyes, blooming flowers are multicolored, lush trees are green, the vast sky is blue, and the world is brightly colorful.
This true understanding of the world, although it didn't significantly enhance Su Jie's combat power, was actually crucial. Only by seeing the true world could Su Jie walk his own immortal path.
