Chapter 22: Refining the Elixir (First Update)
Xuan Ye stood above the sky, the five secret realms in his body glowing. The two rhymes of time and space intertwined, gradually turning into two extremely dazzling symbols, like two never-extinguishing suns, illuminating the entire human world.

He lived a second life. The Wheel of Life and the Immortal Platform, which were almost broken not long ago, had now become perfect again. All the decayed and decayed parts and the marks left by the years had been cut off completely.

There is no doubt that Xuan Ye's body and soul have undergone a thorough sublimation and transformation. Although his cultivation is still at the pinnacle, his actual combat power is obviously stronger than before.

He has been practicing for less than two thousand years, and his time and space have advanced in tandem. His Taoism has become unfathomable and his achievements are comparable to those of nature. Especially not long ago, he also separated himself from the Heart of Heaven and condensed a mark that is independent of all the Taos, gaining a deeper understanding of the Tao.

Xuan Ye looked up at the sky and opened his third eye. He could see an invisible sky curtain covering the sky. That was a rule that could only be observed by a very small number of emperors, such as Henren and Emperor Zun. It was also one of the reasons why it was impossible to become an immortal in this world.

The endless laws of the great way were all left behind by the powerful immortals who died in the blood and chaos of the past. There were even remnant marks of the Immortal King among them, which suppressed all the ways of heaven and earth, separated the immortals and mortals, blocked the way forward, and made it impossible for the living beings in this world to become immortals again.

For any cultivator in the period of Shrouding the Heaven, this was an extremely cruel reality.

If one wants to become an immortal, one must break through the sky of laws in order to escape from the cage and seek immortality. However, if one wants to break through obstacles and erase the imprint of immortality, one must have the power of immortality.

This is undoubtedly a dead end, so there has never been a war immortal in the world. Even the emperor Huangtian, who was once arbitrary and domineering, almost lost his life in the process of transforming into a war immortal.

Apart from this powerful but extreme way of becoming an immortal, the method of longevity generally sought by living beings in the world today is to live on again and again in this human world.

Of course, most of the supreme beings are stuck on how to live out their third life. Even in the entire ancient history, only a handful of creatures can become immortals in the mortal world.

In this kind of environment, those who survive life after life and become immortals in the mortal world will certainly have limitless prospects. They are the seeds of the true Immortal King, and may even be able to set foot on the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even higher levels.

At the moment, the reason why Xuan Ye wanted to observe the sky of laws was not to break through the suppression of the Great Dao and forcibly transform into a war immortal. That method was too tragic, and his ending would not be much better. It was more about comprehending the immortal rules and imprints, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

It is true that the existence of the Heaven's Jealousy Curse allows him to quickly impact on the next life, but compared to other people walking on the immortal path of the mortal world, Xuan Ye has much less time to hone his own Tao and Dharma and accumulate foundation. In the long run, hidden dangers may arise, leaving shackles for his future breakthroughs.

Therefore, he had to make some changes. Either refine the Taiyi Immortal Pill as soon as possible to completely eliminate the Heavenly Duty Curse, or find a way to quickly increase his understanding of the Dao and enrich his foundation.

"Alas, what a pity. This kind of rule imprint is too violent and disordered, and contains an astonishing murderous aura. If one wants to comprehend it deeply, it is bound to consume a lot of time and energy, which will not be worth the effort." Xuan Ye sighed lightly and moved his gaze away from the sky.

Apparently this works a bit, but not much.

"After this lesson, we will no longer be able to hunt down the Forbidden Zone Supremes and use the Eternal Night Magic to absorb their life source in the short term." He swept his eyes across several other forbidden areas and said to himself.

This move is similar to the method used by the Immortal Emperor to achieve longevity, and is definitely not the best choice. In the end, Xuan Ye secretly made a decision: he wanted to refine the Taiyi Immortal Pill!

The Xuan Ye of today is no longer the ordinary emperor who was afraid of the siege of the Supremes in the Forbidden Zone and was afraid of following in the footsteps of the Void Emperor. Instead, he is the Emperor Xuantian who can easily kill the Supremes and even threaten the life of the Forbidden Zone in turn. He is full of confidence!
In addition, he has Ying Chen, Gu Ji, Dacheng Shengti and others by his side, and has already taken the initiative in this silent war. Any supreme being in the forbidden area who dares to cause trouble at this time will end up dead!

In other words, he no longer needs to achieve a rapid breakthrough in the shortest time possible as he did before, but instead needs to slow down his pace, constantly polish his own path, check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, so as to make it perfect or even go to a higher level.

Then, Xuan Ye sat cross-legged in the void, took out an elixir and swallowed it.

Suddenly, immortal music rose and the great way resounded. Wisps of extremely vigorous life essence gushed out and flowed to every part of his body, nourishing every inch of flesh and blood. The five secret realms in his body were all glowing, and the sound of grand and unparalleled chanting was heard.

At this moment, the biggest change was in Xuan Ye's soul. After all, this Taiyi Immortal Pill was originally made by him to erase the curse.

Dense and numerous avenue patterns suddenly appeared on the golden soul figurine, one after another, as black as ink, like a swimming dragon, emitting an indescribable aura, eerie and strange.

This is the materialization of the curse of heaven's jealousy, which tightly binds Xuan Ye's true spirit and tries to strangle it.

Xuan Ye looked normal, as he was already used to it, and with a thought, his soul raised his hands, pinched the seal, and drew a huge amount of life essence into his sea of ​​consciousness. The surging divine matter continuously rushed towards the Heavenly Jealousy Curse.

boom!
In an instant, strange visions appeared frequently, mixed with faint roars like ghosts howling. The curses were like snow burned by flames, melting at an unimaginable speed.

At this moment, Xuan Ye only felt a long-lost relief, as if the invisible mountain that had been pressing on him had been moved away. His whole body underwent a transformation, and the door to the human body's hidden secrets opened wide, releasing even more terrifying potential.

In just a moment, his five secret realms all rumbled and underwent an extremely drastic evolution, containing extremely amazing divine power. This change was no less than when Xuan Ye lived in his second life, which meant that his combat power was once again enhanced.

In addition, Xuan Ye could also clearly sense that his sensitivity to the rules of the Dao had significantly increased a lot, and the image quality suddenly changed from low definition to blue light, which was completely incomparable.

This means that his already outrageous talent became even more abnormal after the curse was lifted!

Rumble!
As the last curse of heaven's jealousy disappeared, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in Xuan Ye's mind, and some images that had long been buried deep in his memory slowly emerged.

That was the scene at the beginning of his time travel, and also the origin of the curse of heaven's jealousy!
