Chapter 15: Heaven's Jealousy is also Heaven's Favor
After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Ye opened his eyes again.

The originally desolate and silent environment had completely disappeared, and in front of him was still the abyss of the ancient forbidden land. It was surrounded by mysterious forces, but none of them could shake him at all.

Xuan Ye sat cross-legged on the cushion on the avenue, motionless, as if he was still recalling his recent experience. That was not a glimpse of the future, but an illusion, a reflection of his inner world.

All cultivators will more or less have some so-called "inner demons", be it obsession, worry, or fear. Even Emperor Huang Tian, ​​Ye Fan, and Hen Ren cannot avoid this process.

Xuan Ye was originally a great emperor who achieved enlightenment through the power of time and space. He had just fallen into a deep state of enlightenment. The Taoist rhyme he exuded interfered with time and space, and naturally caused himself to experience that terrible scene.

Now, he has broken through the confusion of time and space, and personally dispelled the worry hidden deep in his heart. His Tao heart has become more solid and flawless, his eyes are firm and his gaze is awe-inspiring.

A period of time and space, a period of life, an ancient history that will never happen, that kind of perception of cultivation, that kind of understanding of life, for Xuan Ye, this is even more valuable than understanding the essence of the Emperor's Scripture, and is the supreme treasure gained on the road of cultivation.

"What emperor, what immortal emperor, I am the invincible one!"

Xuan Ye's faith was firm, and two blazing divine flames ignited in his eyes, releasing an incomparable and vast pressure. Then, he continued to evolve his own Tao and Fa.

His firm belief that I am invincible does not conflict with the fact that he is currently unable to deal with a Heavenly Emperor and a Mortal Immortal!

As time passed, Xuan Ye's Taoism became more and more unfathomable, which brought extremely heavy pressure to the Great Saint Body. You know, he is a person who can fight against the Changsheng Tianzun head-on and challenge the emperor!
"Is this the terrifying thing about practicing the two great ways of time and space? He doesn't feel like an emperor at all!" The Great Saint Body was shocked.

Xuan Ye's hair is snow-white, but he actually looks very young. Even if the time he spent in seclusion practicing is included, his age is only barely a thousand years old. Compared to other supreme beings of the same realm, his years of practice are not even a fraction of theirs.

Logically speaking, Xuan Ye at this time is still far from reaching his peak in the true sense, and the strength of his blood energy will rise rapidly with the passage of time.

However, the Great Saint Body could sense a trace of decay from him, as if the sun was gradually setting and no longer as hot as it was at noon!
This is really puzzling.

It is hard to imagine that a great emperor who had just achieved enlightenment not long ago would not have much time left. If this news were to spread, eleven out of ten people would probably not believe it!

Time is a magical thing. It will not stop flowing because of any person or thing. The long river of time rolls forward and never comes back.

The plants wither and grow, the flowers bloom and fade, the seasons cycle, the world changes, and in the blink of an eye, another five hundred years have passed and the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Of course, what has always been hotly discussed by cultivators of all races are still the two ancient supreme beings who have returned to the pinnacle of the ultimate way.

Ever since Emperor Xuan Shura refined the elixir 1,300 years ago and reached a consensus with all the major life forbidden zones, the human world has finally ushered in a long-awaited period of peace. For a long time in the future, there is no need to worry about the outbreak of dark turmoil.

As for the title of Emperor Xuan, it was first spread by an unscrupulous fat Taoist priest, who claimed that he and the contemporary emperor were brothers in life and death, and had a friendship worth risking their lives.

At that time, many people scoffed at the unscrupulous Taoist priest's statement. How could a mere tomb robber dare to establish a relationship with the great emperor of the time? For a time, countless creatures who claimed to be Shura followers began to hunt down the unscrupulous Taoist priest. But soon, the wind direction completely changed. A genius who lived in the same world as Xuan Ye in the past spoke up to confirm everything.

"When Emperor Xuan was young, his ways were rather wild. He and this Taoist priest did a lot of digging for ancient relics, so naturally they were hunted down."

The unscrupulous Taoist priest did not feel ashamed, but proud of it. He even openly and directly shouted to all the major Taoist sects, saying that anyone who dared to attack him would be disrespectful to Emperor Xuan.

This fat Taoist priest was naturally Duan De’s previous life, and his Taoist name was Chunliang.

He once heard Xuan Ye say that if he ever achieved enlightenment one day, he would definitely use the character "Xuan" as his name. The reason was simple, because there would always be such a person in the past and future, who was the Emperor of Heaven with a single word, which was very impressive.

From then on, people began to call Shura "Xuan Di", which was recorded in classics and passed down to later generations.

Apart from these minor episodes, generations of cultivators have risen in this world. Although there will no longer be another great emperor, it is possible to achieve a holy body!

Xuan Ye was unaware of the disturbances in the outside world.

Over the years, he spent most of his time sitting cross-legged in the abyss of the forbidden area, meditating and thinking. Sometimes he would sit for hundreds of years. If it were not for the circulation of his life breath, he would have been thought to have passed away.

However, he was showing more and more signs of decadence. Although no changes could be seen on the outside, both the Great Saint Body and the Ruthless Empress could clearly sense his inner decline.

"There is an innate curse in your true spirit, which greatly affects your lifespan." The empress revived, personally checked Xuan Ye's physical condition, and spoke slowly.

"What kind of curse is this that even the Great Emperor-level cultivators cannot remove it?" The Great Saint Body exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"In a sense, this is not a bad thing. I have lost eight or nine tenths of my life span, but I also possess talents that ordinary people cannot match. I have achieved the status of emperor at an early age. Who knows, I may be able to become an immortal earlier than the empress and seek eternal life." Xuan Ye was optimistic and said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint Body remained silent.

Throughout the ages, there are countless emperors and kings who, throughout their two lives as emperors, were unable to deduce the method of immortality that would allow them to live into a third life. It would be very difficult for Xuan Ye to live into his next life in such a short time!

God is jealous of talents!

At this moment, these four words inevitably emerged in the mind of the Great Saint Body. How cruel was God that gave Xuan Ye such a terrible talent, but deprived him of his life.

"That's not right. You still have the elixir of immortality and the elixir of life in your hands. At worst, you still hold a large amount of life source. You won't fall to this point!" The Great Saint Body suddenly reacted and asked.

As far as he knew, Xuan Ye before he became emperor was a Shura who was wanted by everyone in the universe. He could be called another ruthless emperor!
