The Immortal Scripture, how exceedingly rare and precious it is!
It is a priceless treasure, beyond the worth of any amount of celestial stones, divine artifacts, or ancient medicines. Even the phrase “worth cities” falls short—far, far short.
For not even cities, nor entire ancient kingdoms, could be exchanged for it. How could mere mortals ever hope to lay eyes upon an Immortal Scripture?
The Age of Immortals has passed, the path to eternal life shattered. The few true immortals that remained have all perished, and the scriptures they left behind have vanished. Save for a handful of ancient legacies, they are nearly impossible to find.
Thus, the emergence of an Immortal Scripture immediately caused an earth-shattering uproar!
Shi Hao sat cross-legged, contemplating the scripture and comprehending the Great Dao. Instantly, he was deeply entranced. Within his body, three strands of immortal qi surged forth, coalescing above his head into a resplendent and intricate Dao Flower.
Then, the Dao Flower dispersed, transforming into mist-like threads that seeped into every inch of his flesh. It gathered once more, repeating the cycle, baptizing his body!
The Immortal Scripture had begun its work, slowly refining his very essence—this was a divine blessing, granting him immense benefits.
And this was only the beginning!
One could see that the scene unfolding there was world-shaking.
Unbelievable phenomena manifested, stirring the hearts of all who witnessed them!
A True Dragon emerged, its scales cold and metallic, coiling through the heavens as it swallowed the sun and moon. With a single motion, it severed the starry river. Then, an Undying Phoenix cried out, its flames surging, incinerating the heavens. Deities trembled, and all living beings bowed in reverence.
Moreover, vast showers of immortal light erupted, swirling around Shi Hao, cleansing his flesh and making it even more resilient, inching toward indestructibility!
The aura of the immortals blotted out the sky, and auspicious signs defied the mortal world!
Many were left dumbstruck. What kind of heaven-defying scripture was this? To witness it even once would bring boundless benefits in this lifetime. The urge to seize and study it was overwhelming.
“Truly an extraordinary scripture! This was left behind by a peerless expert of the Immortal Ancient Era, a spark of inheritance for future generations!” sighed an elderly sage from the cliffside.
They were among the most elite of the Nine Heavens, and thus could immediately discern that this scripture contained the true essence of the Great Dao, concealing supreme divine abilities—an unimaginable treasure.
On other peaks, the younger generation snapped out of their daze, their expressions shifting. This ancient jade scripture was too incredible, igniting greed in their hearts.
Some cast cold glances, their minds scheming. This was a celestial tome—obtaining it could alter the course of a cultivator’s life, elevating an entire clan to prosperity.
With this scripture, one could forge an unprecedentedly powerful lineage. If nurtured properly, it could ensure a clan’s brilliance for generations!
Even Lan Xian, Da Xu Tuo, and others were moved. Though they themselves possessed profound legacies and astonishing backgrounds, the sight of the Immortal Scripture still stirred them.
The Little Heavenly King’s gaze was especially piercing, his eyes flickering with symbols of order, as if attempting to peer through the scripture and uncover its secrets. He walked the ancient path—how could he not covet such a scripture?
Especially since he was hailed as invincible among his generation, standing at the forefront of his peers. He yearned to reference ancient texts to push himself even further!
Blessed with unparalleled talent and fortune, he already possessed celestial scriptures—but who would refuse more? Especially when cross-referencing could yield immense benefits.
In an instant, countless burning gazes fell upon Shi Hao, filled with envy, admiration, and hostility. Many wished to replace him and claim the scripture for themselves.
Undoubtedly, the Sacred Academy, Celestial Academy, and Immortal Academy also held supreme scriptures—otherwise, how could they attract the geniuses of the Nine Heavens? But not everyone was permitted to study them.
Shi Hao’s scripture was particularly extraordinary. Merely activating it had already begun refining his body—an inconceivable feat.
Not only those who followed the ancient path coveted it, but even those who walked the modern path grew fervent. With this scripture, one might forge an indestructible physique.
Even Qi Gu, Yi Yi, and the Little Sage from the Sacred Academy, usually indifferent, now watched intently.
Even Jin Zhan, a prodigy of his generation, turned his gaze. His pupils swirled with chaos, stars forming and collapsing—his own Dao manifesting. He studied the scripture with utmost focus.
For a moment, a terrifying battle intent surged before swiftly receding.
Jin Zhan calmed himself and abruptly turned away. But those who understood knew—he desired this scripture. Given the chance, he would seize it!
If even a practitioner of the modern path was so moved, how much more so the others?
Wang Xi, Princess Yao Yue, Lü Tuo, and others were visibly affected, silently observing Shi Hao and the glowing scripture before him.
Shi Hao opened his eyes and said, “Don’t tell me the Eternal Families lack scriptures from the previous era. For example, the Wang Family—if you offer the Pacification Art in exchange, I’d be more than happy.”
Wang Xi, standing atop a mist-shrouded peak in her flowing gown, her figure elegant and graceful, stiffened at his words.
This peak belonged to Jin Zhan, who now smiled faintly. “My clan also possesses ancient scriptures. Would you consider an exchange?”
Shi Hao nodded. “A few days ago, I met the Golden Matriarch. Though she is among the eldest of this era, her spirit remains vigorous. I’m quite interested in her secret techniques for tempering the body. If the Jin Family offers their ancestral scripture, a trade can be arranged.”
Two bolts of lightning shot from Jin Zhan’s pupils, splitting the void before him. His gaze was terrifyingly sharp.
Everyone knew the Jin Family’s origins were profound, their lineage ancient—like the Wang Family, they traced back to the previous era, standing among the strongest Eternal Families.
Moreover, the Jin Family was unique. Their scripture focused on body refinement and bone cultivation—an unconventional path.
Some even claimed that the bone inscriptions of the modern era were heavily influenced by fragments of the Jin Family’s scripture, shaping the foundation of contemporary cultivation.
Of course, such rumors were unverifiable, as no one outside the Jin Family had ever laid eyes on their ancestral scripture.
Many speculated that Jin Zhan, despite being a scion of an Eternal Family, chose the modern path because their scripture was compatible with it.
Though many coveted Shi Hao’s scripture, none dared act. Who didn’t know of his glorious feat of single-handedly defeating ten kings from the Foreign Realm?
Even reporting to their elders would be futile—several sages were present, lecturing on the scriptures. Who would dare cause trouble here? They would be crushed instantly!
Shi Hao cultivated in peace, meticulously studying each symbol, immersing himself in comprehension. This was the law of the Immortal Ancient Era—a complete and profound system of the Great Dao.
In the past, he lacked the qualifications to study it, as he had not yet reached the Void Path Realm and couldn’t even open the book, sealed by formidable power.
Such was the nature of Immortal Ancient scriptures—only those of sufficient attainment could comprehend them.
After reading the initial section, Shi Hao sighed softly. According to the scripture, only those who could open it through their own power had truly begun—this was the key to cultivating it.
In other words, the Void Path Realm was merely the starting point!
No wonder it led to immortality—the requirements were staggeringly high!
Yet, this didn’t mean the Immortal Ancient Era was entirely unattainable. The scripture mentioned that in the past, mentors would lay the foundation for cultivators, igniting their sparks.
Before cultivating this scripture, one needed the guidance of ancient sages!
The so-called “sparks” were the foundation of the Immortal Ancient path. Those with exceptional talent could cultivate immortal qi!
This scripture was tailored for those who had achieved immortal qi—without it, one couldn’t even read it. Truly, this was an abstruse ancient text.
Even in the Immortal Ancient Era, few youths cultivated immortal qi—they were the elite among elites!
Shi Hao studied earnestly, grateful to the Celestial Academy for teaching him the language of the Immortal Ancient Era. Without it, comprehension would have been impossible.
Upon the peak, the grand Dao’s immortal resonance boomed, and mysterious symbols spilled from the scripture, enveloping Shi Hao as he wandered through the ancient realm of Dao laws.
This was an entirely new world. Unlike the modern path, this scripture unveiled a fresh horizon for Shi Hao!
Though he had walked the ancient path before, he had done so blindly, forcibly cultivating three strands of immortal qi based on hearsay. Only now did he witness the full system.
Dao Seeds, Fire Seeds, Demon Seeds, Immortal Seeds—these were all the same, the foundation of the ancient path. The key was one word: Seed!
“Thankfully, I obtained this scripture. Had I continued blindly, the consequences would have been dire!” Shi Hao was startled upon reading further.
It was said that true experts must forge their own path and create their own laws—but only after assimilating myriad Dao laws, standing on the shoulders of giants to see further.
Clearly, Shi Hao wasn’t there yet. Without achieving immortality, how could he dare claim to create a system surpassing the ancients?
He already had immortal qi, forcibly condensed like a seed, which had sprouted and even bloomed into a flower above his head. Yet, it was rootless!
Fortunately, this scripture could remedy that.
“With a seed, one must first take root—not rush to bear fruit!” Shi Hao nodded, grasping the scripture’s essence.
His foundation was immensely solid. Having already cultivated three strands of immortal qi and using his body as a seed, he brimmed with immortal aura. Now was the time to soar!
Thus, the moment he activated the scripture, beams of light erupted within him, immortal mist rising as he radiated sacred brilliance.
Every pore in his body opened, his bones resonating like celestial music—or perhaps an invincible war anthem. It had truly begun!
His flesh underwent a transformation inch by inch, bathed in immortal resonance, undergoing a mysterious baptism akin to rebirth.
