57: Chapter 57: Creating a New Law! Ascending to True Immortal!

In the quiet room.

Chu Tianjiao sat cross-legged in the center of a patch of purple immortal flowers. The Chaos Qi around his body had completely transformed into "colorless Chaos." His entire being seemed to have merged with the Void Realm; his aura was ethereal, as if existing yet not existing.

His eyes were slightly closed, his mind immersed in the deepest depths, beginning an ultimate metamorphosis concerning the Foundation of his Dao path.

Return of the Three Immortals—this was the Supreme Emperor Scripture he had created after expending tens of thousands of years of heart's blood, merging the Dao fruits of three lifetimes, and contemplating the principle of "slaying the three corpses" from his previous life's memories. It was also the key technique for stepping onto the path of a True Immortal.

At this moment, he was thoroughly merging and unifying the Dao and Law he had cultivated across three lifetimes.

First lifetime: The Chaos Body attained the Emperor realm, the Tyrant Blade suppressed the world, sweeping through the forbidden zones with absolute power, laying an invincible Foundation.

Second lifetime: Refining the heart in the Mortal World, creating the Hunyuan Heavenly Scripture, educating all living beings, and bringing his Dao and Law to perfection.

Third lifetime: Faking death to set up a scheme, inciting the Emperors to contend, secretly aligning with the cycles of the Heavenly Dao, and already catching a glimpse of the gate to eternal life.

The Dao fruits of the three lifetimes were like three surging great rivers, now converging, colliding, and merging within the sea of his mind.

Each Fusion sparked brilliant fireworks of Dao Laws, and Chu Tianjiao's aura became more restrained and profound, gradually entering a mysterious state of returning to simplicity and merging with the Dao.

"The bodies of the three lifetimes have all reached the pinnacle of the humanity path. To live a fourth lifetime and transcend above, the Return of the Three Immortals is my fundamental technique."

Chu Tianjiao's heart was clear.

The core of this technique was to imitate the intent of "slaying the three corpses," completely "slaying out" the self of the three lifetimes, turning them into independent Dao bodies, and then returning them to the main body to break through limits and achieve a leap in the level of life.

With his mind set, he no longer hesitated.

"Slay!"

A Dao shout rang out in his heart.

The first slay—slaying away the body of the first lifetime's Chaos Body!

In the quiet room, a phantom separated from Chu Tianjiao's body.

It was a young man with black hair and black eyes, sharp and piercing. Chaos Qi surged around his body, and he held a phantom of the Tyrant Blade, his gaze disdainful. It was exactly how he looked when he attained the Emperor realm in his first lifetime!

"This technique... can you control it?" The Chaos Body Dao body spoke, its voice carrying the dominance and doubt unique to the first lifetime.

Chu Tianjiao did not answer, his mind moving again.

The second slay—slaying away the Dao fruit of the second lifetime's Mortal World!

Another phantom separated, transforming into a middle-aged scholar in green robes with a refined and steady temperament. His gaze was gentle, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of the world, and Dao rhymes flowed around him, the intent of education naturally revealing itself.

"Your action... is a bit too radical. This is not like you." The second lifetime's Dao body frowned slightly, its tone carrying persuasion.

Chu Tianjiao remained silent, performing the final third slay.

The third slay—slaying away the self of the current lifetime!

The last phantom walked out, identical to the Chu Tianjiao sitting cross-legged at this moment. Its aura was as deep as an abyss, its gaze as calm as an ancient well, yet it contained the determination to open up a new path.

"In this lifetime, you have not yet reached the end, yet you want to begin?" The third lifetime's Dao body asked calmly.

Looking at the three versions of himself representing the past, present, and different paths before him, Chu Tianjiao finally nodded slowly, his voice steady and firm:

"Time waits for no one. The Immortal Emperor is stronger than expected, and the Emperor Venerable is watching in the dark. I must accelerate; I cannot follow the established steps."

He swept his gaze over the three bodies and said frankly: "I need your power, I need the accumulation of the three lifetimes to merge, only then can I take that most crucial step."

The first lifetime's Chaos Body heard this and grinned, his tyrannical aura not diminishing in the slightest: "Fine, fine. We are you, after all. Do as you wish."

The second lifetime's Mortal World body sighed softly, his gaze turning to understanding: "Since that is the case, I hope you can restrain your sharpness a little in the future. Rigidity is easy to break; going too far is as bad as not going far enough."

The third lifetime's current self was concise and direct: "Then let us begin."

"Thank you." A sincere smile appeared on the corner of Chu Tianjiao's mouth.

As the words fell, the three figures spoke no more. They simultaneously transformed into three streaks of Origin immortal light, different in color but equally dazzling. Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they instantly merged into Chu Tianjiao's main body!

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribable upheaval erupted within the quiet room!

Chu Tianjiao's Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Dao Laws underwent an essential sublimation at this moment!

The accumulations, insights, and Dao fruits of the three lifetimes merged perfectly at this moment, erupting with power that transcended the limits of the humanity path!

His bitter sea expanded infinitely, transforming into a true Chaos Universe; above his Immortal Platform, three strands of incomparably pure Immortal Qi slowly condensed and intertwined, emitting an eternal and immortal charm; the Imperial Dao Law within his body disintegrated inch by inch, only to be reorganized and condensed at a higher level, transforming towards the more essential "True Immortal Law"!

This process lasted for a full thousand years.

Outside the quiet room, time flowed, and the stars shifted. Undying Mountain remained silent, and the Universe maintained a fragile peace under the silent deterrence of the Ruthless Empress.

And inside the quiet room, a great leap in the level of life was nearing its end.

...

On a certain day in the thousandth year.

"Hum—!!!"

A profound and mysterious fluctuation emanated from the depths of Undying Mountain, instantly spreading throughout the entire Big Dipper Astral Region, and even spreading towards the Cosmic Borderlands!

This fluctuation was neither overbearing nor sharp; instead, it carried a vast and lofty quality that nourished things silently, as if the Great Dao itself were breathing and pulsating.

All living beings who sensed this fluctuation, regardless of their cultivation level, inexplicably felt a sense of awe and peace in their hearts.

Even those ancient Supremes sleeping in the deepest parts of the forbidden zones felt their spirits shake at this moment, waking from their slumber and looking towards the direction of Undying Mountain in shock and uncertainty.

"This aura... what is going on?"

"It is not Emperor prestige, but more like... a pulse of life at a higher level?"

"What happened inside Undying Mountain?!"

The Supremes were suspicious and uncertain, but no one dared to use their Divine Thought to investigate deeply. Since the Stone Emperor "devoured his own kind," Undying Mountain had become increasingly strange and unpredictable, and no one wanted to court disaster.

Qingshi Town.

On the small mountain gate.

Xiao Nannan also sensed that ancient aura.

"Stone Emperor? You devoured a Supreme, are you trying to live a second lifetime? You had better behave yourself, otherwise, even if you do live a second lifetime, I can still suppress and kill you!"

...

In the quiet room of Undying Mountain.

Chu Tianjiao slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was no longer Chaos Qi, no Imperial Dao Law, only a calmness that was clear, profound, and seemingly able to reflect the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

His aura was completely restrained, with not a trace leaking out, as if he were the most ordinary Mortal.

But he knew he was completely different.

Gently raising his palm, with a slight movement of his mind, a wisp of ethereal, pure "Qi" containing immortal Dao rhymes appeared in his palm.

Immortal Qi.

And within his body, there were three such strands of Immortal Qi. Each originated from the ultimate sublimation of the Dao fruits of the three lifetimes, intertwining with each other to build the pillar of his True Immortal Dao Foundation.

"The accumulation of three lifetimes finally condensed into three strands of Immortal Qi... I have stepped into the True Immortal realm."

Chu Tianjiao whispered to himself, his tone carrying a trace of emotion and a trace of relief.

True Immortal!
