Chapter 268 What did our Grand Elder do to you?
For the Qilin Ancient Emperor, there was no need for supernatural powers, laws, or runes; forging such a quasi-emperor weapon was actually easier.
As an ancient emperor, he could destroy billions of star rivers with a wave of his hand. He only needed to grab some star rivers to forge a quasi-emperor artifact.
After receiving the elixir, the Ancient Emperor Qilin couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in his mind: "My lord, there is something I don't understand. Without divine powers, runes, and laws, this quasi-emperor weapon will definitely be at a disadvantage in battles between equals. Why did you choose such a defective product?"
Xu Qing smiled and said, "The laws of the billions of universes are vastly different. At that time, normal weapons may be the defective ones."
"I see."
The Ancient Emperor Qilin nodded in agreement with Xu Qing's words, and the confusion between his brows disappeared.
With countless different laws of the universe, coupled with the suppression of the Great Dao, various supernatural powers and laws may not be effective elsewhere. On the contrary, pure power is more adaptable to change.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Ancient Emperor Qilin raised his hand and took all one million pills, putting them directly into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and then its medicinal power exploded within the body!
"boom!"
The million pills, each containing life essence comparable to that of a Great Sage, surged through his meridians, as if countless galaxies were exploding and burning within his body.
The scalding blood and qi spread through his limbs and bones, and the body of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, which had been somewhat withered by the erosion of time, was revitalized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his handsome appearance from his youth.
What shocked him even more was the crack left by his self-inflicted injury deep within his Sendai sea of consciousness.
The trace that allowed him to survive and seal himself within the Immortal Essence Liquid slowly melted away like thin ice exposed to the warm sun, enveloped by boundless life energy. The spiderweb-like patterns faded little by little until they disappeared completely!
"this?!!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide, raised his hand to touch his brow, and could clearly feel that the Dao injury at the Immortal Platform had been completely healed. His primordial spirit power surged like a raging sea, almost breaking through the shackles and leaping to its limit.
The scalding blood almost burst forth from his pores, and his physical strength returned to its peak!
He was all too familiar with this thrill—it was just as awe-inspiring when he took the elixir of immortality, entered his second life, and returned to the pinnacle of power! This was the power of the flawless emperor, the pinnacle of combat strength in the universe!
"This is practically a second life!" The Qilin Ancient Emperor's eyes were filled with disbelief. Returning to his peak was enough to shock him.
Even ancient emperors could only live one more life by taking the elixir of immortality. He had already used it once, and the elixir was no longer effective for him. If he wanted to activate the power of the Dao Fruit of the Flawless Emperor again, he could only do so by igniting the divine fire and undergoing the ultimate sublimation.
But now, a miracle has actually occurred, and he stands once again at the pinnacle of humanity.
What shocked him even more was that, with his level of attainment, he could clearly perceive changes in lifespan.
This time, his lifespan was extended by at least 70,000 to 80,000 years! That's almost several times the lifespan of a normal Extreme Dao expert!
"It's undead matter! These pills must come from a world full of dense undead matter!" A blazing light burst from the eyes of the Qilin Ancient Emperor. Recalling what Xu Qing had said about "other universes," he instantly understood the key.
He had heard that even before the mythological era, and even before the chaotic ancient era in which the Nine Heavenly Venerables were said to have lived, the mortal realm could still connect with the immortal realm, and saints could ascend to the immortal realm and become immortal through countless eons.
Even if they had stayed in the human world, the Great Sage of that time could have lived for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, far exceeding the fact that even the current peak of humanity only lives for a little over ten thousand years.
"If someone at my level can replenish so much lifespan, just how long do those sixth-tier cultivators live? Surely not every one of them can live for a million years?"
Thinking of this, the Ancient Qilin Emperor could not suppress his curiosity and bowed again, asking, "Sect Master, may I ask how long these sixth-tier cultivators lived?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing slowly extended one finger.
"One million years?" This number made the Ancient Emperor Qilin's heart skip a beat, and his voice became somewhat strained.
The lifespan of a normal Dao-slaying expert is only three to four thousand years, and even the peak of the Human Dao only lasts for a little over ten thousand years. If someone truly has a lifespan of a million years, that would be a world of difference.
"Wrong," Xu Qing said calmly, uttering a few words, "It's ten million years."
"Buzz—"
Upon hearing the words "ten million years," a deafening roar suddenly exploded in the mind of the Qilin Ancient Emperor. He was as if struck by lightning, and his entire body froze on the spot.
After a long while, the Ancient Qilin Emperor asked in a trembling voice, "—Ten million years? Could these all be cultivators from the Immortal Realm? Otherwise, how could they have such long lifespans?!"
Tens of millions of years—that's too long. Even the era of a figure like the Desolate Heavenly Emperor might not have been that long.
How could a Dao-Slaying cultivator live for 1000 million years?
This almost completely shattered the worldview of the Qilin Ancient Emperor.
The Ancient Emperor Qilin couldn't help but murmur in amazement, "The environments of different universes are indeed vastly different. Even cultivators who have severed their Dao can have a lifespan of tens of millions of years. Let alone tens of millions of years—if I could have a lifespan of a million years, even a pig could slowly grind its way to immortality, right?"
"Heh, heh heh." Xu Qing suddenly burst out laughing upon hearing this.
Are you mocking our Grand Elder again?
What did our Elder Meng Tianzheng do to you?
But this sounds so familiar; I think Ye Fan said something similar.
How can the people of Zhetian be so ignorant?
It seems we should develop the pig-pig inequality.
The Immortal Emperor and the Grand Elder are at the level of a pig, while Shi Hao and Ye Fan are at the level of one in n pigs.
Seeing Xu Qing suddenly laugh, the Ancient King of Qilin was somewhat confused and quickly asked, "Why is the Pavilion Master laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
Xu Qing's laughter gradually subsided, and her fingertips lightly clenched.
An immortal divine body suddenly appeared.
"This is the corpse of a seventh-level cultivator. Try to sense it."
Looking at the bodies of other cosmic cultivators that had materialized, the Ancient Emperor Qilin couldn't help but show curiosity as he carefully examined them.
"It is indeed the seventh rank—the power that this physical body can release is a hundred times stronger than that of a peak Dao-Slaying expert." The Qilin Ancient Emperor withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with solemnity. The lifespan of a sixth-rank cultivator of tens of millions of years had already overturned his understanding. Now, facing a higher-ranking cultivator, he also carefully observed for a long time.
Seeing that he had finished sensing, Xu Qing smiled and asked, "Now that you've identified him as a seventh-tier cultivator, why don't you guess how long he lived?"
The Ancient Emperor of Qilin lowered his eyes in thought, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his palm.
The lifespan of a sixth-order rank is ten million years, and a seventh-order rank should normally be twenty to thirty million years. However, the lifespan of a sixth-order rank ...
The ancient Qilin emperor, with his keen insight, pushed the multiplier to the maximum and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sect Master, in my opinion—it might be a hundred million years?"
He was shocked when he said it aloud.
One hundred million years! That's roughly the number of times an entire epoch has passed in the universe.
Can saints really live that long?
Even after he said it, he felt somewhat incredulous and couldn't help but wonder if Xu Qing might say he was overthinking it.
