Chapter 3 The Carefree Celestial Venerable
"Hahaha………"
On the ancient star Ziwei, the Holy Lord of the Heaven-Mending Path laughed loudly, tears of excitement streaming from his eyes.
The Heaven-Mending Dao is an extremely small lineage on the ancient Ziwei Star. Its members are no more than fifty years old, and the strongest among them is only a Saint, who only broke through in recent years.
But now, everything is about to change. The Lord of Mending Heaven has recognized the person undergoing tribulation in the desolate edge of the universe.
He and Jiang Ling were fellow disciples, but after Jiang Ling reached the second level of immortality, he left Ziwei Star and went to the depths of the universe.
More than two thousand years have passed, and the Lord of Mending Heaven has become a saint, able to see the situation at the edge of the universe through the magic array.
Rumble!
On the other side, someone else triggered a great tribulation of enlightenment, their vast and boundless aura suppressing the entire universe.
The sky was filled with silver snakes illuminating dozens of star fields, the celestial light was dazzling, and a five-colored celestial phoenix spread its wings and soared high, colliding fiercely with the heavenly tribulation.
"It's Yu Zhe!"
"He also triggered a heavenly tribulation!"
Soon, someone discovered that the person undergoing tribulation in another remote corner of the universe was none other than the Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix Yu Zhe, who had been favored by many.
"With the appearance of the Heavenly Heart Mark, he couldn't sit still any longer!"
"But I'm afraid we've lost the initiative!"
Jiang Ling has already survived most of his tribulation, and the illusory immortals surrounding him are constantly disintegrating. It's only a matter of time before he completely defeats those illusory immortals.
Many people believe that Jiang Ling, who has already undergone a tribulation before, has the greatest chance of successfully undergoing this tribulation.
"That's not necessarily true. Besides the trials set by Heaven, there are also human trials that lead to enlightenment!"
A self-proclaimed peak Quasi-Saint expert spoke up, remaining calm and not in a hurry to undergo tribulation.
Human Calamity!
Upon hearing this, many people realized that in ancient history, many people who were about to attain enlightenment were thwarted by others and failed at the last minute.
Especially the supreme beings in the forbidden zone, because they have experience in overcoming tribulations, they know very well when to make a move to instantly stop others from achieving enlightenment.
boom!
Just then, many people witnessed a scene that left them speechless: a pitch-black hand ignored Jiang Ling's tribulation of attaining enlightenment, letting lightning strike its hand, and directly slapped towards Jiang Ling.
At this moment, Jiang Ling was fighting with the illusory immortal. Caught off guard, she was struck by the black hand and her body exploded.
"How dare you!"
"kill!"
A surge of blood mist appeared, and Jiang Ling reappeared, her body reformed. She stared at the pitch-black hand with icy coldness.
The next moment, ignoring the attacks from the immortal phantom, Jiang Ling enhanced his combat power, wielded the Annihilation Fist, and slammed it towards the pitch-black hand.
"Destroy the Dao, destroy the world, destroy the past and present!"
Jiang Ling roared, unleashing the Annihilation Fist to its fullest extent. The sea of thunder and the illusory immortal figure both dimmed under its power.
With a single punch, it seemed to annihilate the world and obliterate the river of time.
"The underworld is the final resting place of all souls, the place of death and judgment!"
A strange black light flickered on the pitch-black hand, along with black runes that did not belong to this era, as it met Jiang Ling's Annihilation Fist.
"A loser hiding in the shadows dares to speak of life and death, and to discuss immortality. The heavens are without principle."
Jiang Ling continued his attack. He saw the Carefree Celestial Venerable rapidly approaching from afar, and he couldn't afford to continue entangled with the Supreme Being of the Underworld.
The Supreme Being of the Underworld could only mobilize one hand, which could not change his fate of attaining enlightenment. But the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Venerable was different; he mobilized his true body, and his supreme divine power was vast and boundless.
The Seven-Colored Melting Flame spewed out a dazzling flame, which landed on the Netherworld Supreme's hand along with Jiang Ling's attack, causing the black runes on the large hand to dim considerably. This extremely powerful and yang flame was precisely the Netherworld Supreme's nemesis.
At the same time, Jiang Ling's attack landed on the dark hand. The myriad paths vanished, and the entire star field became a lawless and lawless place. The runes wrapped around the hands of the Underworld Supreme also quickly dissipated, unable to resist Jiang Ling's attack.
boom!
The pitch-black hand disintegrated. Although he was a supreme being, he had not yet reached the ultimate sublimation, and the combat power he displayed was merely an alternative path to enlightenment.
Facing Jiang Ling, who is currently undergoing a great tribulation to attain enlightenment, unless his true form appears, he is no match for Jiang Ling.
"Heaven-Burning Flame!"
An angry voice came from the depths of the universe; it was the supreme being of the underworld who had previously intervened to stop Jiang Ling.
His arm was destroyed, and he suffered the consequences.
"The Supreme King Yama!"
In the underworld, many spirits trembled as they looked at the enormous black shadow.
Jiang Ling also saw the enraged Supreme Being in the Underworld, but he only glanced at him and then ignored him, because the Carefree Heavenly Venerable had arrived in front of him.
Rumble!
The rules on the Annihilation Fist dissipated, and the Heavenly Tribulation reappeared, even more violent than before.
A man dressed in an ancient Taoist robe appeared from the void, holding a treasure bottle made of immortal tears and green gold in his hands.
A branch of a precious herb, shaped like a human body, was inserted into the mouth of the bottle.
"The Carefree Celestial Venerable!"
Jiang Ling looked at the Taoist and spoke. At this time, although the Celestial Venerable of Freedom was old, his blood and energy were still quite abundant.
During the great war in Heaven ten thousand years ago, he gained many benefits, including fragments of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and numerous divine liquids.
"The Celestial Venerable of Freedom, he truly is an ancient being. I never imagined that after all this time, he would still be alive..."
"It seems we don't need to take action. The appearance of the Carefree Celestial Venerable means this person has no chance. What a pity."
"I wonder how much power the former carefree Celestial Venerable still possesses."
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone of Life was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to terms with it.
After all, they were also enlightened beings from the mythological era, and some of them, like the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable, were even Celestial Venerables from the mythological era.
They themselves were able to continue to this generation as supreme beings, and they believed that other celestial beings also had the means to survive to this day.
Throughout the entire mythological era, there were more than just nine celestial deities.
However, these nine individuals reached the pinnacle of a certain path, creating unprecedented supernatural abilities and becoming far stronger in combat than ordinary supreme beings.
Most importantly, the Nine Heavenly Venerables promoted the spread of Taoism throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, enabling more beings to cultivate, and made great contributions to all beings in the universe. That is why they are praised by the world as the Nine Heavenly Venerables.
Besides them, there were other enlightened beings in the mythical era, such as several enlightened beings from the Kunlun lineage. All in all, there were about fifty or even more enlightened beings in the mythical era.
boom!
A great battle broke out, with Jiang Ling facing off against Xiaoyao Tianzun. Jiang Ling was incredibly violent, using all sorts of methods to suppress Xiaoyao Tianzun.
"Incredible! To fight to this extent with the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable before even attaining enlightenment—that young man is no ordinary person!"
Even the supreme beings in the restricted area were shocked to see this.
"This is understandable. The Carefree Celestial Venerable hasn't reached his full potential, so his combat power can't be considered that of a true supreme being!"
Someone spoke up and offered an explanation.
"Not bad, as expected of an innate Dao body, it is indeed powerful, even stronger than an innate Dao embryo!"
After hundreds of moves, the Carefree Celestial Venerable wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, praised the move, and his eyes became even more fervent.
Jiang Ling's physique can be called the Innate Dao Body, which is similar to the Innate Dao Embryo. The two are the same physique, but women are called Dao Embryos and men are called Dao Bodies.
The same constitution, different names, and constitutions are also divided into male and female!
The Dao is divided into Yin and Yang. The same physique can manifest different potentials in different people. Compared to the innate Dao embryo, Jiang Ling's Dao physique is stronger. There are no shortcomings in the physical body, and she is naturally close to the Dao.
However, since ancient times, there has never been a physique called "Innate Dao Body" in any historical records, because in the past, Innate Dao Embryos always appeared in women.
Jiang Ling's possession of such a physique is likely a unique case in this era.
"Is that so? I'll show you the true power of the Dao Body later!"
Jiang Ling spoke, her eyes growing even colder. Compared to the other supreme beings who only wanted to hinder his path to enlightenment, the schemes of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable were far more vicious.
Even now, Jiang Ling could see the burning desire in his eyes; he wanted to possess Jiang Ling's body.
Based on the amount of life force he has left, he can last at least two or three hundred thousand years.
In addition, when the Heavenly Court was destroyed, he seized a lot of precious medicines from the Heavenly Court's treasury, enough for him to last for another 100,000 years.
Even so, it would be extremely difficult to survive until the path to immortality opens a million years later.
Now, he has set his sights on Jiang Ling's body, intending to use Jiang Ling's identity to once again reign supreme and live a glorious life.
At the end of the mythological era, the Carefree Celestial Venerable once entered the Underworld and briefly became its master. Later, he even discussed the Dao with the Underworld Venerable, exploring the methods of reincarnation and rebirth.
However, because the Underworld Lord himself lost his way while verifying the method of reincarnation, he, like many supreme beings, backed down and did not continue to try the reincarnation seal in the underworld.
However, he also benefited greatly in the underworld, acquiring the method of possession.
"Young man, don't be so arrogant. When we rule the world, you won't even be born yet!"
The Carefree Celestial Venerable spoke, completely disregarding Jiang Ling's words.
"Hahaha, yesterday is like flowing water, gone forever. We've already cut ourselves and fallen from our supreme position, yet we're still talking about our past glory. How laughable."
Jiang Ling laughed loudly, the sarcasm in her voice was self-evident.
"Even if we are free to wield a single blade, we will ultimately return to our supreme status, something you, someone who has not yet attained enlightenment, cannot match!"
The carefree Celestial Venerable said nonchalantly, forming hand seals and continuing his attack.
