Chapter 29: Set a Trap for the Supreme
After passing down the essence of cultivation, Xuan Ye no longer interfered too much in Wu Shi's decisions or influenced his will. He simply let him go and gave him enough freedom.

He can follow the original historical trajectory and walk the path of the "beginning of time", and finally complement it with the "end of time", making this Tao and Dharma reach perfection and transcend the Tao results of the previous life.

Similarly, he could have other choices. After all, there is still a difference between having no beginning and having no end. And considering his talent, his achievements would not necessarily be lower than before.

You know, in the Holy Ruins period countless epochs later, Wu Shi was an unrivaled warrior who was able to break through the Immortal Emperor by rebuilding the Great Avenue of Space!

All Xuan Ye can do is to answer his questions and guide him to comprehend the great truth, but he will never make decisions for him and plan everything in advance.

Soon, Wu Shi, who had officially entered the realm of cultivation, went down the mountain and walked on this ancient planet of life where the environment was becoming increasingly deteriorating.

While he was growing wildly, Xuan Ye was sitting cross-legged in the endless void on the top of Mount Tai, his mind immersed in the mark of his own avenue, overlooking the entire world.

He can see all kinds of living beings, birth, aging, sickness and death are everywhere, and he can also observe all things in the world and experience the pure and simple Tao and principles.

There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and the weather is cold and hot.

Xuan Ye was like an eternal strange stone, suspended in the air, surrounded by the dense light of the avenue, with clouds and mist, and dense chains of order hanging down.

hum!
Suddenly, a blazing river of time emerged, with waves surging and shining on it. It began to absorb the laws of heaven and earth and evolved into one brilliant rune after another.

These are Xuan Ye's understanding of the myriad laws of the universe. Some come from the sun, moon, and stars in the vast universe, some come from the mountains, rivers, and plants on the boundless earth, and some come from all living creatures in the major life star fields.

In this way, he observed and accumulated knowledge, taking the essence and discarding the dross, and entered into a state of spiritual practice.

During this period, Xuan Ye would occasionally wake up for a while, pay attention to Wu Shi for a while, glance at the major life forbidden areas, and then look at the arrangements he left at the nine space nodes.

Every time, he would make slight adjustments to the formation to make it more and more perfect. No matter what, this was related to whether Xuan Ye could live smoothly in the next life, and there was no room for any carelessness.

Nearly twenty years later, Wu Shi returned to the Taishan Taoist temple. At this time, he had become a saint. He had completely digested the Taoism that was sealed by Xuan Ye in the early years. His foundation was so profound that it was terrifying, and his combat power was far beyond his current level.

Perhaps due to the inertia of history, Wu finally embarked on the path of time, ready to explore the original mystery. Then, he was sealed up by Xuan Ye, to be born again in the future.

Before Wu Shi fell into "sleep", the master and disciple had a conversation, or to be more precise, Xuan Ye asked a few questions.

He once asked Wu Shi whether he was cultivating the great way of time or the way of "beginning"? If it was the former, why did he only pursue the way of the original beginning? If it was the latter, why did he only step into the realm of time and ignore the others? Could it be that space had no beginning?
It is true that whether it was the Immortal King Wuzhong in the past or the Great Emperor Wushi in the original, what they practiced was time, but there is no doubt that this has limitations.

Time passes and the years change.

Time is the least valuable thing in the world, yet it is extremely precious. In the blink of an eye, thousands and thousands of years have passed.

Xuan Ye has lived for nearly 20,000 years in this life. His vigorous energy has long since fallen from its prime under the power of time, and he is about to enter old age. Originally, according to his estimation, after refining the Taiyi Immortal Pill and removing the Heavenly Jealousy Curse, he would probably be able to live for about 30,000 years, and at least 10,000 years to live.

But there is always some gap between theory and reality.

The cracks in the immortal road are not so easy to break through!

Even if it is opened at the right time, it is filled with unimaginable murderous intent. When the road to immortality was opened in the post-ancient times, many extremely sublime forbidden area supremes died and their souls were destroyed.

The current Xuan Ye is no longer an immortal in the mortal world, nor does he possess a body of the Ten Evils Level like the Emperor Huang Tian at that time. When he deeply explores the space nodes and forcefully breaks into the cracks in the immortal road, his body will more or less be left with some Taoist injuries, which reduces his lifespan.

But fortunately, he has a solid foundation and will not die young like the Void Emperor. He can still hold on and slowly recover, but that's all.

During these last few years, Xuan Ye first left behind many backup plans in order to deal with possible accidents that might occur during his transformation, and then "buried" himself in the ancient star of Honghuang, buried under the center of the supreme formation.

That’s right, the location he chose to place the center of the formation was the big star under his feet, a veritable place for raising corpses and communicating with spirits, which itself condensed a lot of the good fortune of heaven and earth.

Emperor Xuan has been in the world for more than 20,000 years. The entire human world has always been in a period of peace. All major life forbidden areas are silent, and generation after generation of powerful people are born in the outside world.

What amazed everyone the most was that after Wu Yu achieved the immortal golden body, this lineage welcomed several more powerful people one after another. It was simply a miracle!
Such a magnificent scene could not help but make all creatures feel moved. If Emperor Xuan had not appeared, these several indestructible golden bodies would be able to hold up the sky.

It is a pity that the Western Emperor and his wife, who confronted the ancient force of the underworld, both passed away.

It is said that some kind of accident happened to Wu Yu in his later years, which brought misfortune, so that many powerful Yao Chi masters were affected and died sadly.

Later, he voluntarily died at the hands of the Western Emperor, who buried himself together with him before his death, sealing it off completely. Only then could the rest of the people, led by the contemporary Queen Mother of the West, move out of the old site and build the present sacred land of Yaochi.

Of course, these are all illusions. With the Taiyi Immortal Pill refined by Xuan Ye, even the curse of heaven's jealousy can be removed, so the misfortunes in old age are naturally nothing to worry about.

All of this is just a preparation for completely pacifying the major life forbidden zones in the future. Xuan Ye used to use himself as bait to set traps, so isn't it normal to let a group of people fake their deaths now?

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years.
Although Xuan Ye never showed up in the human world, the supreme masters of the forbidden areas did not dare to act rashly, for fear that this was another trap set by the emperor of the time, using themselves as bait to hunt them down again.

What's more, the shock brought by Xuan Ye's killing of four supreme beings in a row that day is still fresh in people's memory, and all the supreme beings have to admit the fact that they really cannot beat Xuan Ye.

Unless one imitates the battle at the end of the myth that killed the Emperor, the prerequisite is that there must be cooperation of no less than a palm-sized number of Supreme Beings, and also immortal weapons such as the Immortal Bell or the Desolate Tower in hand.

This is impossible no matter how you think about it!
