Chapter 482 He's Going Crazy
Just then, his great-grandson came to tell him that the Immortal Emperor Haotian of the Middle Realm had died, vanished into thin air, and didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.
Yuanzu laughed heartily.
He suffered a great loss at the hands of the Celestial Emperor Haotian, and was almost forced to reveal his Star Absorbing Divine Skill by the Celestial Emperor Haotian.
In the end, he pretended to be dead, leaving only a wisp of his consciousness attached to the dust, and thus escaped death.
Therefore, he was terrified of the Jade Emperor and kept hiding, not daring to show his face.
Now, the Celestial Emperor Haotian is dead.
His day of triumph has arrived.
But now he has new worries.
That means there's something wrong with his supernatural powers.
His great-grandson immediately told him another piece of good news.
The one who succeeded Haotian Immortal Emperor was a blessed immortal named Lu Xin, a blessed immortal with nine purple radiances, known as the Carefree Immortal Emperor.
Ah, the blessed immortal with nine purple radiances!
If he absorbs the blessings of the Nine Purple Immortals, will that solve his problem with his divine powers?
Soon, the grandfather and grandson reached an agreement.
Yuanzu only wanted the good fortune of the Carefree Immortal Emperor; everything else belonged to the Yuanyuan Immortal Emperor.
After Yuanzu escaped with his life from the hands of Haotian Immortal Emperor, he dared not linger in the Middle Realm. After going through countless hardships and being covered in wounds, he returned to the Northern Realm and appeared before Yuanyuan Immortal Emperor.
He claimed that he had made a mistake in deducing the divine skill and asked his grandson to provide him with a quiet environment to continue deducing the skill. He promised that once the skill was successfully deduced, he would pass it on to his grandson.
Immortal Emperor Yuan Yuan could tell at a glance that his good grandfather had suffered endless physical and spiritual torment.
He had seen this kind of listlessness, the kind that comes after being tortured, in countless immortals he had tortured.
Moreover, he also discovered some clues about the Jade Emperor from his grandfather's reaction.
This piqued his interest in his grandfather's miraculous powers.
He might not acknowledge other things from the Celestial Emperor Haotian.
However, he was fully aware of the Haotian Immortal Emperor's obsession with rare and precious materials and top-tier cultivation techniques.
Without hesitation, the Immortal Emperor Yuan Yuan provided him with a quiet immortal mountain as requested by his good grandfather, and sent people to take good care of him.
Thousands of years ago, his good grandfather found him again, saying that his divination was not going well and that he needed rare and precious materials to calm his soul.
He provided it again without hesitation, and to make it easier, he even brought his grandfather back to the back mountain of the Immortal Emperor's Mansion.
From the fluctuations of divine sense in the back mountain, he learned about the absorption technique that his grandfather had deduced—the one that the demons and immortals both loved and hated the most.
He was well aware of the dangers of absorbing other people's techniques, so he had never practiced them.
However, his great grandfather was able to absorb so many immortals' techniques and cultivate all the way to become an Immortal Lord (or perhaps even more than an Immortal Lord, after all, he was once tormented by the Jade Emperor), so his techniques must have been extraordinary.
The Immortal Emperor Yuanyuan is over two hundred thousand years old, which is the prime of an immortal's life.
But he watched as the Haotian Immortal Emperor struggled endlessly to prolong his life over the years, and he also saw the Southern Realm Immortal Emperor gradually falling into the panic of old age.
He also wanted to start planning for his own future as soon as possible.
These immortals who have tasted the pinnacle of power are unwilling to relinquish it and start afresh.
Yuan Yuan Immortal Emperor did everything in his power to provide his beloved grandfather with rare and precious materials, and he always carefully sensed the changes in the immortal essence behind the Immortal Emperor's Mansion.
His grandfather's condition fluctuated, with the bad periods becoming increasingly frequent.
However, the Immortal Emperor Yuanyuan did not give up.
He believed he was much smarter than his grandfather, who had shown him the way, and he was sure he could successfully deduce the divine skill.
Especially several hundred years ago, when he suffered a great defeat in the Middle Realm, he was able to quickly restore his divine consciousness only thanks to the divine power given to him by his good grandfather.
Therefore, he became deeply fascinated by the Star Absorbing Skill.
The grandfather and grandson worked together to deduce and verify each other's findings, and both benefited greatly from the Star Absorbing Divine Skill.
However, neither of them could solve the weakness of the Star Absorbing Divine Skill.
In the end, the grandfather and grandson both agreed that this cultivation method must have violated the natural order, which is why those who practiced it ultimately suffered a backlash from it.
However, if one is blessed with good fortune, and uses that good fortune to suppress this immoral act, one will surely succeed in cultivation.
The ancestor had cultivated and deduced for hundreds of thousands of years, possessing profound skills and extensive insights.
In order to obtain the complete divine power and to use his own grandfather as a test subject, Yuan Yuan Immortal Emperor agreed to let Yuan Zu receive the fortune of Xiaoyao Immortal Emperor.
He believed that once the divine abilities were fully developed, he might not need the Nine-Section Purple Blessing anymore.
At worst, he could kill his good grandfather and steal back the good fortune.
The grandfather and grandson worked together happily, leading their large army into the void.
Ever since Yuanzu learned that he could obtain the fortune of the Nine-Section Purple, he could no longer suppress his bloodthirsty ferocity.
He had lost interest in absorbing the immortal essence and divine consciousness of immortals.
The countless void beasts in the void made his blood boil.
He always wanted to absorb the immortal essence and divine consciousness of immortals and beasts for his own use.
It can absorb anything, which is why it lives up to its reputation as the Star-Absorbing Divine Skill.
Thus, as he traveled, Yuanzu opened his mind and absorbed the immortal essence and divine consciousness of countless void beasts.
The more he absorbed, the more pain his divine sense felt, and his immortal essence began to surge wildly throughout his body.
He felt pain.
This pain needs more Void Beasts to fill the void in order to suppress it.
Yuan Yuan Immortal Emperor coldly watched as his good grandfather went mad, even ordering his immortal soldiers to capture any Void Beasts they encountered.
He was experimenting, testing his grandfather's tolerance, and also testing whether his grandfather could suddenly find a new way out in the extreme chaos of immortal essence and divine consciousness.
Of course, he always kept a close watch on things so that his good grandfather wouldn't actually go mad.
His good grandfather was a great weapon for him in dealing with the Carefree Immortal Emperor.
The celestial soldiers from the Middle Realm and the Northern Realm traveled towards each other and soon met in the void.
Yuanzu was in excruciating pain, so much so that he wanted to clutch his head and roll around in agony.
Upon hearing that the celestial soldiers from the Middle Realm had arrived, he immediately grabbed his Soul-Drawing Whip, rushed to the front of the two armies, and unleashed a torrent of profanities upon the celestial soldiers from the Middle Realm.
On the spaceship in the Middle Realm, Zhong Lingxin, along with Long Xinglan and a group of immortal generals, watched from afar as an immortal covered in black energy leaped and bounded towards the front of the two armies, wielding a long black whip that whipped the swirling void currents.
Ruyi, hovering around Zhong Lingxin, immediately noticed the chaotic immortal energy surging within the Primordial Ancestor. He angrily said to Zhong Lingxin, "Xinxin, that must be the Primordial Ancestor! He's gone mad!"
Zhong Lingxin frowned: "Are you going crazy?"
Before Ruyi could speak, a Bodhi seed floated from between Zhong Lingxin's brows. She looked at Yuanzu with disgust and said, "Yes, he's going crazy. His sea of consciousness is full of other people's primordial spirits. It's no wonder he's going crazy."
Zhong Lingxin remained silent, frowning as she pondered.
Does that mean that the Primordial Ancestor absorbed other people's primordial spirits but didn't refine them?
Ruyi knew what Zhong Lingxin was thinking and explained, "He does want to refine them, but there are too many. There are as many as a million immortals' primordial spirits. It would be strange if he could refine them all. Besides, he forcibly extracted other people's primordial spirits, so they are not so easy to refine."
