79: Chapter 79 The Terrifying Achievements of Lingbao Tianzun

Feng Xi gasped.

“Top ten?” Her eyes widened. “He’s that powerful?”

One must understand that while there is only one Dao Prover in each generation, their lifespans are not particularly long.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the number of Dao Provers is not small.

There were nearly a hundred Heavenly Venerables in the Mythological Era, and a similar number of Ancient Emperors in the Primordial Era.

To be ranked in the top ten among so many brilliant and talented Dao Provers, the significance and difficulty were terrifyingly high.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao smiled. “Heavenly Venerable Lingbao’s battle record is very strong. He has records of defeating other Heavenly Venerables head-on, and more than once.”

He paused and continued, “More importantly, during his era, there were visitors from another world.”

Feng Xi was stunned. “Another world?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “Two of them, both at the Heavenly Venerable level, and not just ordinary ones. They crossed over and brought calamity to this world.”

He looked at that Ancient Star. “Heavenly Venerable Lingbao fought one against two and killed both of those otherworldly Heavenly Venerables. However, he also sustained fatal injuries and eventually transformed into a Star Domain, passing away here. This is also the reason for Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's passing.”

Feng Xi listened, dumbfounded.

One against two, killing two beings of the same level?

This battle record...

“That’s too incredible!” she couldn't help but exclaim. “But why is there no record of such an event in the ancient texts of our Phoenix Realm? Also, Great Emperor, how do you know about this?”

Jiang Hao looked at Feng Xi's questioning gaze and said slowly, “Because before I proved my Dao, I happened to come here by chance. Here, I obtained the Legacy of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao.”

Feng Xi: “Ah?”

She was completely dazed. Such a thing actually happened?

Very few people knew that Jiang Hao had obtained Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's Legacy.

The scripture he had passed to the Little Heavenly Killing Star was the Lingbao Scripture.

Back then, Jiang Hao had relied on this scripture to survive several life-and-death crises.

Heavenly Venerable Lingbao was not only unparalleled in slaughter but also a Great Master of Formations; his Legacy contained a vast amount of the essentials of the Dao of Formations.

This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Hao felt Heavenly Venerable Lingbao was powerful.

One could basically see the height of the creator from a single scripture. The profundity and comprehensiveness of the Lingbao Scripture were top-tier among all the Emperor Scriptures and Heavenly Venerable Scriptures he had ever seen.

Moreover, looking at the Star Domain transformed from the remains before them, and the Dao rhyme and vitality contained within...

“Heavenly Venerable Lingbao lived through at least three lives,” Jiang Hao judged in his heart. “He is definitely strong enough.”

Three lives is an important turning point. For those who can live three lives, their combat power increases significantly.

Feng Xi was processing this information, her mind struggling to keep up.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, “Then why did the Great Emperor come here today... what are you planning to do?”

Jiang Hao looked at that Ancient Star and slowly uttered four words:

“Resurrect Heavenly Venerable Lingbao.”

Feng Xi: “Ah?”

She felt completely numb, feeling that she hadn't been as surprised in all her years as she had been today.

Is this the Great Emperor? The things he does are always so extraordinary.

“Heavenly Venerable Lingbao... isn't dead yet?” Her voice changed pitch. “Hasn't he been dead for millions of years? Even his body has turned into a Star Domain!”

Jiang Hao said calmly, “He is dead, but one could also say he is not.”

Feng Xi: “...?”

She looked bewildered.

Dead but not dead? What kind of logic is that?

Jiang Hao didn't explain further. With a slight smile, he led her toward the Ancient Star.

They passed through the thick barrier of Dao patterns on the surface of the Ancient Star and entered the interior of the celestial body.

Surprisingly, the interior of this Ancient Star was hollow, just like an internal world.

A massive underground world unfolded before their eyes. In the center of the world stood a dazzling Immortal Platform.

The entire Immortal Platform seemed to be cast from immortal gold and Divine Materials, emitting a soft and holy light.

Inside the Immortal Platform, divine flames flickered faintly.

And in the deepest part of the Immortal Platform, there was a pool of strange liquid, shaped like flames, burning fiercely.

That liquid emitted a trace of immortal vitality.

Feng Xi could clearly feel that although the vitality was weak, it was incredibly resilient, remaining unextinguished even after being washed by millions of years of time.

“Great Emperor...” Her voice trembled slightly. “Heavenly Venerable Lingbao... actually still has vitality?”

Jiang Hao smiled slightly.

“Naturally.”

When he first discovered Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's special state and realized there was hope for this Venerable to return, he thought that when his strength was sufficient, he would definitely come to lend a hand.

And now, the time had come.

The reason he wanted to resurrect Heavenly Venerable Lingbao was simple. On one hand, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's reputation in ancient records was excellent; he was a truly righteous figure who protected all living beings.

On the other hand, since he had obtained Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's Legacy and relied on his scripture to survive many crises, this Karma and kindness had to be repaid.

Furthermore, the great tasks he intended to do in the future required many powerful assistants.

Jiang Hao looked around and suddenly smiled. “So that's how it is.”

When he came before, he hadn't discovered the true secret here, only feeling that this place was not simple. Now that his strength was great, he finally discovered the ingenious arrangement of this place.

This entire internal world was shrouded by a mysterious grand Formation. If one's strength hadn't reached a certain level, they really wouldn't be able to discover it.

The center of this grand Formation was Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's own Immortal Platform pool, and on either side of the Immortal Platform, there were two slightly smaller Formation eyes hidden by the Formation's Dao patterns.

Those were two Immortal Platforms also cast from immortal gold, emitting a Supreme-level aura.

“Those two should be the Immortal Platforms of the two otherworldly Heavenly Venerables killed by Heavenly Venerable Lingbao,” Jiang Hao thought to himself.

Then Jiang Hao went to the two Formation eyes and waved his hand, causing the two Formation eyes to appear.

Feng Xi looked closely and indeed found that those two Immortal Platforms were connected to the central Immortal Platform through countless Dao patterns, forming an incredibly profound grand Formation.

Jiang Hao sighed, “What a grand undertaking.”

Heavenly Venerable Lingbao used the Immortal Platforms of the two otherworldly Supremes as Formation eyes to set up this heaven-shaking Formation, extracting the remaining Origin and Dao laws of the two Supremes to nourish the divine liquid in his own Immortal Platform, maintaining his unextinguished vitality.

Combined with some mysterious transformation method, he hoped to return after endless ages.

“Using two Supremes as nourishment...” Feng Xi murmured. “How many throughout the ages could achieve such a feat?”

Jiang Hao nodded; indeed, it was so.

Throughout the ages, how many could have such a grand undertaking?

Heavenly Venerable Ancient Emperors are all invincible beings, yet Heavenly Venerable Lingbao used two Heavenly Venerables as Materials for his own return.

Moreover, he could feel that the transformation method used by Heavenly Venerable Lingbao was by no means simple.

Otherwise, even with the nourishment from two Supreme Immortal Platforms, after millions of years, that bit of vitality should have dissipated long ago.

At this moment, within that pool of divine liquid, besides sensing vitality, Jiang Hao also detected a faint, almost invisible True Spirit.

That True Spirit was like a candle in the wind, liable to be extinguished at any moment.

From this, one could see the power of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao; having been dead for millions of years, there was actually still a thread of hope for his return.

Also, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's transformation method was quite interesting. Jiang Hao felt that if Heavenly Venerable Lingbao could return, they could exchange insights, which would surely provide him with much inspiration.

However, given the current situation, without outside help, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao would likely never wake up on his own.

The difficulty of transforming and returning was evident.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and waved, and the Little War Emperor and Chu Changge landed gently on the ground.

The injuries on the two of them had long since healed, without even a trace remaining.

For a contemporary Great Emperor, healing the injuries of two people was incredibly simple.

They first looked around somewhat blankly; the interior of this strange and Ancient Star Domain left them confused.

But when their gazes turned to Jiang Hao standing nearby, the movements of both men froze simultaneously.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
