Chapter 624: 440: Immortal King Perfection_2
At this moment, Chu Zheng had already made a decision in his heart. If it truly came to an irresistible situation, he would do his utmost to preserve Bai Nian's life.
Even if he couldn't save Bai Nian's life, the things that Bai Nian remembered must leave a mark.
At the very least, in the future, someone could know what he had done amidst the current turmoil.
As for leaving a name, he no longer held the obsession he had at first, but still harbored a bit of hope to leave something for those who come after.
The Great Universe is endlessly reborn; the path he has walked will eventually be traveled by others who follow.
With his precedent, perhaps those who come after, when placed in the same situation as him, might make different choices.
...
...
Chu Zheng arrived at a corner of the Cave Heaven World, sat cross-legged, and began to sort out his Divine Soul.
His state, ever since the Heart Burning Corridor, had been subtly off, especially concerning matters of Song Lingxue; his emotional fluctuations were too large, far exceeding the boundaries they should have, almost to the point of being unable to remain calm.
He couldn't even discern whether these emotional fluctuations were due to Xue Qing or Song Lingxue.
This inevitably made him think of the Dao Seed within his body.
The Heart Burning Corridor unearthed hidden memory fragments, which perhaps had already invisibly affected him, something he had yet to perceive.
After a long while, Chu Zheng's emotions gradually calmed, serene as still waters.
He subtly turned his palm, gathering the rosy light, and the Longevity Immortal Fruit with an Innate Immortal Mark appeared in his palm, then he unhesitatingly pushed it into his mouth.
The moment the Immortal Fruit entered his throat, it did not melt like an ordinary Immortal Fruit but suddenly exploded!
Like a compressed cosmos full of stars forcibly poured into his throat.
Immeasurable, vast energy, mixed with condensed Immortal Dao Law Fragments, erupted with a roar.
Brilliant rosy light burst out from Chu Zheng's seven orifices, changing the very color of the heavens and earth at that moment.
Encased within the Immortal Fruit, the Innate Immortal Mark nurtured by heaven and earth turned into a streak of flowing light at the moment of the fruit's explosion, ignoring all barriers, instantly entering Chu Zheng's Sea of Consciousness, merging with the Primordial Spirit.
Boom!
Instantaneously, within Chu Zheng's Sea of Consciousness, a giant sound reverberated as if the world was being split open; the barrier of the Great Immortal Venerable Realm was as fragile as paper under this overwhelming wave, instantly pierced through.
In just a few days, under the catalyst of the Immortal Mark and the infusion of the Immortal Fruit's boundless origin, Chu Zheng's aura rose steadily, like a primeval ferocious beast freed from all constraints, stepping into the pinnacle field that can overlook myriad immortals.
Early Stage Immortal King!
A unique Supreme Law perception belonging solely to the Immortal King, overriding all previous knowledge, surged like a river releasing a flood, continually washing over Chu Zheng's Divine Soul, almost reshaping every bit of his understanding of immortal power and the world's origin.
The Supreme Law signifies that all the laws of the heaven and earth have reached their zenith; beyond that, only time and space remain.
Reaching this step, the Innate Immortal Mark within the Longevity Immortal Fruit was only in the initial stages of integration into Chu Zheng's body; the energy it contained was far from being exhausted, having only consumed the tip of the iceberg.
After stepping into the Immortal King Realm, the energy unleashed by the Immortal Fruit became even more violent, almost transforming into a chaotic torrent capable of tearing apart the Star River, surging and roaring through his meridians that had been broadened exponentially, propelling him toward the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao's extremes.
The three Immortal Marks in the depths of the Primordial Spirit simultaneously radiated unprecedented glory, forming a subtle resonance with the Cave Heaven World.
Meanwhile, another dormant power within his body was also completely awakened by this extraordinary Immortal Fruit.
The path of Qi Refining, rising with the tide, proceeding in parallel with the Immortal Dao, quickly advanced into the late stage of the Mysterious Immortal!
Buzz——
A low Dao hum echoed from deep within Chu Zheng's brow; a spot of chaotic-colored light, like an ancient star suddenly illuminated after eons of slumber, slowly emerged from his brow, gradually condensing, and in a breath, transformed into a budded Ancient Lotus.
As soon as the newly born Ancient Lotus formed, it began to greedily absorb the purest Life Origin and Power of Creation from within the Longevity Immortal Fruit, growing wildly at a visible rate.
The two Ancient Lotuses that had already existed began to unfurl simultaneously, even feeding back Essence Yuan to nourish this new Dao Flower.
When the third purple Ancient Lotus fully bloomed, catching up with the other two Lotuses, a perfect and flawless Dao rhythm slowly spread from Chu Zheng's brow.
The three Ancient Lotuses, in a pinwheel arrangement, hovered above the Sea of Consciousness; the first Lotus rooted in the Sea of Consciousness, with petals as heavy as mountains, bearing Chu Zheng's immortal physique foundation.
The second Lotus swayed at the Sea of Consciousness center, with a golden godly light flowing like blood in its core, symbolizing inexhaustible Life Origin.
The newly born third one lay suspended in the sky, with Chaotic Qi steaming, Dao patterns circulating, representing his overwhelming divine intent that traverses heaven and earth.
The Three Realms of Profound Immortal blossoms into three Dao Flowers, symbolizing that the physical body, Blood Qi, and divine intent have been cultivated to the utmost pinnacle of living creatures.
This is the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top; when Vitality, Qi, and Spirit all reach their peak, the next step is Five Qi Towards Yuan. In the path of Qi refining, this is the Golden Immortal Realm of non-birth, non-extinction, and eternal non-reincarnation.
But in the current era, Golden Immortals apparently cannot achieve birthlessness, extinction-free, and escape the limit of life and death.
When the Five Qi unite as one, one becomes the Primordial Golden Immortal, comparable to the giants of the Realm of Ancient Myths.
