Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 706 - 511: Immortal Corpse! Heaven and Earth! Restrictions! Array!
"Good!"
"With your words, I can rest assured."
Yiyuan Ancestor Master laughed heartily.
He knew that Chen Jichuan loved to be secretive, always keeping something in reserve. Even when he blocked the entrance at the Jade Toad Great Heaven and Earth and fought against nine Absolute Peak True Immortals, he did not fully reveal his skills and kept something in reserve.
But this time, facing the corpse of an Ancient Immortal, the Yiyuan Ancestor Master certainly hoped Chen Jichuan would give it his all.
He looked at Chen Jichuan, Fu Danzi, and Zhengg Yuan Ancestor, and said solemnly, "The divine skills of Ancient Immortals are unfathomable. Even though they’ve been fallen for an era, their Immortal Bodies still possess unimaginable might."
Taisu Ancestor also added, "The last time, eight million years ago, when my brother and I were subduing the ’Mountain and River Seal,’ we accidentally triggered a restriction and discovered the bodies of those two Ancient Immortals. But the restriction was extremely powerful, and despite our three-thousand-year effort, we couldn’t break it. Seeing that the ’Immortal Fall Battlefield’ was about to close, we had no choice but to retreat."
The two ancestors were recounting, and Chen Jichuan couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration.
Facing the bodies of two Ancient Immortals, Yiyuan Ancestor and Taisu Ancestor managed to resist the temptation and didn’t risk staying behind, which showed their determination.
Ordinary people would indeed find it hard to resist.
No one knows what changes might occur over eight million years, and missing this opportunity might mean never having another chance.
But Yiyuan Ancestor and Taisu Ancestor restrained themselves.
And fortunately.
"When I left back then, I left a mark on the restriction outside the two Immortal Bodies, and it still exists today."
"They should still be in the original location."
Yiyuan Ancestor said and continued, "But retrieving the bodies of Ancient Immortals is not an easy task. If one is not careful and falls into the traps left by the Ancient Immortals, it could lead to death."
Even ordinary people, after death, are buried and would not want their bodies to be dug up for other purposes. Therefore, those with the means, such as kings and rulers, have heavily fortified their tombs with countless mechanisms.
Immortals are no different.
Like True Immortals.
Most True Immortals fall under the True Immortal Calamity, where generally their bodies and Divine Souls are both obliterated.
Those who know their time is short would sit in meditation before death, letting their Immortal Bodies drift away with the wind.
So their bodies are not desecrated.
But there are exceptions.
For instance, when facing calamity targeting the source of the Divine Soul, even if one cannot pass, the body does not dissipate but remains a shell, a corpse.
Or when True Immortals with insufficient mental cultivation go mad and their Divine Souls perish, their bodies are preserved.
Or when fighting others, when their minds and Divine Souls are gravely wounded and death is near but not immediate, resulting in death, their bodies remain.
There are such cases.
Before dying, their bodies harbor lingering intentions and reluctance to fade away, blending with the Dao and eventually forming a formidable lethal move.
The bodies are profound.
Ordinary True Immortals dare not rashly deal with the bodies of fellow True Immortals.
One careless move might also lead to a plot.
If True Immortals are cautious,
there’s even more reason to be with Ancient Immortals.
They have long become Immortal, eternal and indestructible, so their demise must have been due to danger and strange encounters. The methods that could strike down Ancient Immortals often attack from the Divine Soul and causal level, not harming the body.
During the turmoil of the Ancient Immortal Era, some Ancient Immortals suffered severe injuries, and their bodies couldn’t be destroyed for a time, allowing them to escape.
Some made a comeback.
Some perished completely.
Their bodies were preserved, scattered, and hidden within this ’Immortal Fall Battlefield.’
Among them, those Ancient Immortals who hid bodies may not have given up the idea of returning one day. The magic powers of Ancient Immortals are immeasurable, and no one knows if their momentary demise, their temporary fall, means they are truly and completely gone.
No one can definitively say.
But Chen Jichuan speculated that the Ancient Immortals left behind corpses, with a high likelihood of having calculations and plans.
For instance, him.
If he were to die, he would make sure to be reduced to ashes, not giving others, or future generations, a chance.
But if he left something behind.
It would certainly be to harbor thoughts of returning for a second life.
"Regardless of the situation, it must be approached with caution."
Yiyuan Ancestor gave one last caution, explaining the dangers.
In the next moment, he withdrew the Formation Flag and led Chen Jichuan and the four others straight to the ’Flying Locust Sword Sea.’
...
The ’Immortal Fall Battlefield’ opens once every eight million years. Though it seems long, in reality, every Fourth Realm True Immortal can enter about once or twice.
Over long ages, the ’Immortal Fall Battlefield’ has been thoroughly explored.
Various Earth Realms gradually gained names.
Take the ’Flying Locust Sword Sea,’ for example.
This is equivalent to a second-level Cosmic Strange Land outside. Here, swords are like flying locusts, innumerable and endless. It’s said that in the Ancient Immortal Era, an Ancient Immortal derived a sword technique with one hand, slaughtering countless True Immortals, and even some Ancient Immortals were killed here.
The Essence Qi of True Immortals and Ancient Immortals dissipates, causing the Sword Qi here to condense into solidity, eventually forming Flying Swords comparable to even True Immortal Devices and Ancient Immortal Instruments.
Flying Swords derive Sword Qi.
Making this place not calm down but rather grow fiercer.
Today, the ’Flying Locust Sword Sea’ spans an area of three to five star clusters, with immeasurable Sword Weapons.
Even Fourth Realm True Immortals entering here can glean insight from clashing with these Sword Weapons. Capturing Sword Weapons here, refining and absorbing their Essence Qi into their own Magic Swords, greatly enhances their power.
Indeed, it’s a treasure land.
Whenever the ’Ancient Immortal Battlefield’ opens, there are always people coming to the ’Flying Locust Sword Sea’ to gain insights into the Sword Dao and refine Sword Weapons.
And on this day.
Seven billion miles north of the ’Flying Locust Sword Sea,’ five streaks of light descended, revealing five figures, including Chen Jichuan.
