Chapter 258: Transcendence in This Lifetime (Part Fourteen)

The Myriad Laws Imperial Sect was shaken.
Their own Imperial Son had brought back another being.
Only eight or nine years old, yet possessing the cultivation of a peak Saint.
"Hiss..."
The Myriad Laws Imperial Sect's patriarch was astonished.
One Emperor and two Immortal Spirits weren't even the limit.
One Emperor and three Immortal Spirits?
Unprecedented and unparalleled!
Was the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect destined for greatness in this life?
Su Chen sensed it.
Recently, the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect had become increasingly active.
The ancestral hall was overflowing with people every day.
Smoke curled endlessly.
Su Chen cultivated with Chi Yao and Di Chan.
"Master, why can she call you brother?"
"I want to call Master brother too!"
Di Chan looked at Su Chen expectantly with her large, watery eyes.
Su Chen decisively refused.
Little Di Chan was dejected and depressed.
Little Chi Yao was quite smug, flying forward and hanging in front of Su Chen, making a face at Little Emperor Cicada, who became even more dejected.
Su Chen chuckled.
Emperor Cicada was formed from a wisp of Zhou Han Chan's divine consciousness fused with the Dark Embryo.
But it was also a completely new life form.
Its aptitude was extraordinary.
In Su Chen's hand, there was also a demonic rune.
This was a quarter of the Book of Death.
Su Chen had finally collected the last quarter of the fragment.
This was good news.
Bad news.
In his previous life, the Undying Nether Emperor failed to transcend and perished.
Even in this life, Su Chen himself didn't know where he had died in his previous life.
With the Undying Nether Emperor's cultivation, turning into a forbidden zone would have been easy, yet there was no trace of the Undying Nether Emperor in the world.
Su Chen had obtained the last quarter of the Book of Death.
However,
the other three-quarters of the Book of Death fragments that the Undying Underworld Emperor had obtained had vanished without a trace.
Su Chen wasn't worried.
He still had a trump card.
Ning Changqing, this super treasure-hunting rat, would definitely bring him a surprise.
And he only needed to reciprocate with a surprise of his own.
After all, surprises are mutual.
......
Ning Changqing was very frustrated.
And also heartbroken.
Ever since his first failed encounter with Su Chen,
Ning Changqing found that Su Chen haunted him like a nightmare.
He found the Immortal Spirit of the Jade Pool Holy Land.
The Immortal Spirit followed Su Chen.
He arrived at the terrifying land of the Chaos Sea.
The Embryo of Darkness had been possessed.
Fortunately, he also encountered another fragment of the Book of Death, one of the nine innate treasures.
Although it was just a fragment, it was better than nothing, still a top-tier opportunity.
However, Su Chen escaped once again.
Ning Changqing had no choice but to temporarily avoid the limelight.
The Dark Embryo, one of the nine innate treasures, had become a tool for someone else's advantage.
The fragments of the Book of Death, another of the nine innate treasures, had also become a tool for someone else's advantage.
Ning Changqing's heart was bleeding.
However, Ning Changqing was, after all, a reincarnation of a Celestial Venerable, possessing a transcendent nature.
He quickly regained his confidence.
He resumed his monster-hunting and level-up adventures, seeking opportunities.
Ning Changqing broke through the restrictions of an ancient place.
A divine light instantly shot out.
"The Elixir of Immortality!"
Ning Changqing was first startled, then overjoyed.
The Elixir of Immortality—that was a divine object that could allow a Great Emperor to live another life.
Ning Changqing tried to suppress it, but the Elixir of Immortality was too fast; it disappeared in a flash.
Ning Changqing looked on in frustration.
The direction the Elixir of Immortality had flown...
The Myriad Laws Emperor Sect!
"Di Chen!"
"I will never let you get away with this!"
Ning Changqing roared.
The immortal elixir he had painstakingly unearthed was about to leave him!
The immense blow left Ning Changqing unable to contain his rage.
...
Su Chen was instructing Di Chan and Chi Yao in cultivation.
The presence of these two little ones added a touch of liveliness to the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect.
Su Chen suddenly sensed something.
"Could someone be cursing me?"
The more powerful a being, the more they seem to sense things from the unseen realm.
Su Chen was absolutely certain.
Someone was definitely cursing him.
Few people could warrant such a reaction from him.
"Qin Wujie?"
Su Chen shook his head. Why would Qin Wujie curse him for no reason?
He was a good person.
Besides Qin Wujie, it could only be Ning Changqing, that treasure-hunting rat.
Su Chen suddenly looked up at the distant star field.
"That's... the aura of the Immortal Elixir?"
The Immortal Elixir traversed countless star fields, and even the powerful figures who tried to stop it couldn't.
"Is the Immortal Elixir coming for me?"
Su Chen's expression was strange.
He sensed the aura emanating from the Immortal Elixir towards him.
Is it trying to acknowledge him as its master?
Su Chen made his move, traversing the starry sky. The Immortal Elixir, which even several Emperor Weapons couldn't stop, obediently fell into Su Chen's hand.
"That's... that Immortal Spirit from the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect! The Immortal Elixir is actually coming for him!"
"The Immortal Elixir is actually acknowledging him as its master. If the Immortal Spirit attains Dao in the future, he will at least be able to live a second life!"
"What incredible fortune! To attract the Immortal Elixir to its side! How many emperors throughout history have been able to obtain the Immortal Elixir and live a second life? Even before Emperor Chen has attained Dao, he has already attracted the Immortal Elixir!"
"..."
Many powerful figures and forces were in an uproar.
Some forces, wielding imperial weapons and eager to intercept the elixir of immortality, dared not continue their attempts to seize it upon seeing Su Chen's intervention, no matter how unwilling they were.
"Sitting at home, the divine medicine falls from the sky."
Su Chen thought to himself with emotion.
"Ning Changqing, what a good man!"
The Polar Day Emperor's Court
The Emperor of Daylight withdrew his outstretched hand.
"Your Majesty, that is the elixir of immortality, capable of granting you another life!"
"We are willing to fight to the death to obtain the elixir of immortality for Your Majesty!"
The generals of the Polar Day Emperor's Court volunteered one after another.
They wanted to fight, to seize for the Emperor of Daylight the opportunity to live another life and transcend mortality.
Emperor Daylight shook his head, his expression complex and forlorn.
"No need... the elixir of immortality is destined not to be mine."
"In this life, I am not qualified to use that supreme divine artifact. Even if it were mine, it would only be a waste."
Emperor Daylight was nothing like a supreme emperor. He was no longer domineering and invincible, confident of being unrivaled in the universe. Seeing this, the generals who had once followed him felt a lump in their throats, their eyes reddening.
"Your Majesty..."
"Born at the wrong time..."
Emperor Daylight sighed upon hearing this.
He rose in a chaotic era, flourished in a prosperous one, but his final era did not belong to him.
Even as an emperor, at the pinnacle of martial arts,
in this life,
he was merely an accessory.
"What a tragic era..."
Emperor Daylight suddenly felt...
Perhaps dying in the Chaos Sea was a good choice.
If Yongye were still alive...
Maybe I'll end up like him.
...
Who is Ning Changqing?
He is the First Heavenly Venerable of the Mythical Era.
Although the Immortal Elixir flew away, and he found himself in the arms of a formidable enemy, he was initially finding it hard to accept.
However, he rallied his spirit.
He was determined to defeat the immortal spirit of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect.
Through constant battles, leveling up, and seeking opportunities,
Ning Changqing discovered a mysterious place.
This time, he was wiser, setting up multiple layers of seals to suppress its aura.
"This is..."
"The Undying Nether Emperor?"
