Chapter 605: Chapter 333: Ghost Immortal Forbidden Technique_2

Thereafter, all these powers were transferred from these avatars to the body of the Moon surface Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.

They were then infused into the Small Cave Heaven formed by the tree’s numerous thick roots.

There, these wish powers were utilized by an improved Evil Extermination and Demon Suppression Purification Array, which had been enhanced by Su Ping, the master of formations.

Just like a great river, it constantly cleansed and ground away the remnants of the evil spirits and Evil Gods.

After Su Ping triumphantly returned, he stayed atop the canopy of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, using its divine skills to help him control the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map to digest the small worlds within it.

As for the one dead and two severely injured Returning to Void Great Powers he had previously captured,

Su Ping directed the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map to temporarily release them.

Abbot Chimei and the Supreme Elder from the Sky Dragon Sect were swapped into the ground beneath the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree for suppression.

In an instant, thousands of roots pierced through the bodies of these two Returning to Void Great Powers.

With their Primordial Spirits and even the spirits formed from their Nascent Souls, they nourished the deficiencies of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.

In front of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, which had a cultivation of thirty thousand years, even the combined force of the two severely injured was not enough to match it in battle.

Even if by some stroke of luck they managed to escape from the Moon’s underground world,

the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree only needed to release its divine light to suppress these two, rendering them incapable of movement.

In addition to the unfamiliar starry environment, and being a land without spirits,

even if these two managed to escape imprisonment, they would still be rootless trees.

After a brief moment of regaining consciousness, these two Returning to Void Great Powers both realized their situation and displayed expressions of despair.

The Supreme Elder from the Sky Dragon Sect even wanted to negotiate conditions for survival.

However, the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree faithfully executed Su Ping’s orders.

If it was said to be its nutrients, then it was its nutrients, and it wouldn’t concern itself with anything else.

The domain formed by the interwoven roots blocked all of the Supreme Elder’s means to send out messages.

He harbored all sorts of cunning strategies within him,

but had nowhere to apply them.

He could only be slowly digested by the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, becoming yet another step forward in its nourishment!

Although the Old Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect appeared to be dead,

with his flesh indestructible, and still looked to be the strongest among those in the Returning to Void,

Su Ping was not entirely at ease.

So, he simply threw him over to the Mysterious Turtle, instructing it to swallow him whole.

And, sure enough,

after the Mysterious Turtle swallowed him,

the Old Sect Master’s body suddenly exploded, and an avatar of his Primordial Spirit emerged, attempting to escape.

But how could something inside the Mysterious Turtle’s stomach escape so easily?

"Roar!"

The Mysterious Turtle was in sync with Su Ping, and upon learning the specific situation, Su Ping immediately released the Three-color Divine Light to assist the Mysterious Turtle in suppressing the Old Sect Master’s Primordial Spirit.

Next, with a thought, Su Ping released dozens of Space Storage Talismans.

The Mysterious Turtle opened its mouth and sucked these talismans into its stomach.

Then, before long,

inside the Mysterious Turtle’s belly, which resembled a Cave Heaven Secret Realm,

there were continuous nuclear explosions!

The high temperature and radiation from the nuclear explosion, upon hitting the Primordial Spirit and following it as it flew out of the blast zone,

were gathered by an unknown force, tenaciously chasing the Primordial Spirit.

It constantly whittled down the strength of the Primordial Spirit.

...

In the end, the Primordial Spirit that received no replenishment was defeated in this pursuit.

With its resentful wails dissipating,

the Mysterious Turtle devoured its scattered countless memories.

And with its innate abilities, it categorically sorted these memories,

thereby sparing Su Ping considerable effort.

Su Ping was quite curious about this Old Sect Master,

so he also spared a bit of his attention to examine them.

The name of the Old Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect was Huo Xuanzhen,

An Unparalleled Genius from the Fire faction of the Five Elements Sect.

Foundation Establishment at thirty, Golden Core at seventy.

At the age of one hundred and twenty, with his late-stage Golden Core Cultivation, he Reverse Slashed a Nascent Soul Demon, shocking more than half of the Five Elements Realm.

At two hundred years old, he entered the Divinity Transformation Realm and became an elder of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect as well as the head of the Huo Family.

It was at this moment that he received a massive influx of resources and learned many secret techniques he had never heard of before.

It was also at this moment that Huo Xuanzhen learned the truth of the world.

They knew that their Small Thousand World had long been a place of despair.

Huo Xuanzhen and many of his contemporaries, like other geniuses of their generation, were full of youthful vigor.

They believed that they were Children of Destiny, certain that they could find a way to break the impasse.

But then, Huo Xuanzhen understood what it meant to have greater despair with more knowledge.

While relying on the resources of his sect and family, on his 500th birthday, he successfully stepped into the Returning to Void Realm.

At that time, as the Deputy Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect, he had also completely despaired of becoming the savior of the Small Thousand World.

He began to do as his elders and ancestors had done before him.

Choosing to live well for the rest of his life and to strengthen the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect and the power of the Huo Family was enough.

After all, there were so many small worlds within the Small Thousand World that could be abandoned.

When it came to the turn of the Five Elements Realm,

perhaps he would have already perished due to failing to break through to the next realm and falling into demonic deviation of body and soul.

Or perhaps he would choose, like his ancestors, to linger on as a Ghost Immortal.

Yet this method of extending one’s life seemed to only keep one alive in appearance, as the consciousness and memory of a Ghost Immortal after transformation become increasingly chaotic and eroded by unknown forces.

So much so that Huo Xuanzhen dared not confirm whether those surviving Ghost Immortals were truly his ancestors.

Huo Xuanzhen became a Returning to Void Great Power at the age of 500.

But at 1500, he became an Old Sect Master who didn’t manage affairs much, after the new generation Sect Masters took over.

His realm remained in the late stage of Returning to Void, unable to advance an inch further.

Su Ping, who had come into contact with the children of Demon Gods and the Heavenly Tathagata, was not unfamiliar with this situation.

Perhaps when the Small Thousand World was in the Sea of Time and Space, it had the potential to produce cultivators beyond the Returning to Void Realm.

But after entering the body of the Mother Goddess, having been marinated in evil qi for so long,

it was already an achievement for the Small World to support the birth of Returning to Void Great Powers.

It was the merit of generation after generation of geniuses from the Five Elements Realm who successfully shifted the disaster elsewhere and protected their world.

"To break through Returning to Void, staying in the Small Thousand World is not enough,"

"One must take the initiative to attack. Either leave the mother body or find a greater world that has been swallowed up and is of a higher grade than the Small Thousand World!"

"It’s a pity that those trapped in the Small Thousand World do not have the courage or the awareness to make such a gamble."

"After all, as a collective of thousands of small worlds, the Small Thousand World provides too many resources to the Upper Realm."

"Along with a relatively safe environment for cultivation..."

"...they simply don’t have the courage to go out and search for opportunities."

"However..."

"The supreme forbidden technique of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect... the Ghost Immortal Transformation Technique?"

"This forbidden technique seems rather interesting!"

Su Ping stroked his chin, carefully savoring the related memories.

He felt this forbidden technique was somewhat similar to the Unification of Man and God within the Incense Fire Divine Path.

Only the Ghost Immortal did not require Incense Fire Divine Power.

Even after becoming a Ghost Immortal, one could preserve their cultivation and some magics could even become more powerful.

Though ghost immortals seemed to no longer have a problem with lifespan,

they also faced a problem that the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect had not been able to resolve for so many years,

leading them to categorize this technique as a forbidden one.

Reserved only for their high-ranking members who did not wish to die.

"Interesting, I must borrow it for study if I get the chance,"

"Maybe a genius like me could find a perfect solution to break this forbidden technique’s curse to enable it to prosper and shine?"

Su Ping continued to read the memories, engraving the details of the Upper Realm deeply in his mind.

Su Ping had not forgotten.

When he last sent the Sky Queen and Mu Cangtian to smuggle themselves into the Upper Realm,

he had left a large number of markings there.

As soon as the time was right, he could use his Transmission Spell to instantly go and scavenge!

For the following period of time,

Su Ping either stayed atop the crown of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree refining the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map,

or returned to the Biyuan Realm to check for any oversights.

Afterward, he would find True Man Qingyuan, the young host, and other native cultivators from the Small Worlds to discuss paths of cultivation,

gathering collective wisdom to find better methods of refining.

A week later...

Su Ping, who was cultivating on the crown of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree,

suddenly felt moved.

His eyes sparkling, he looked towards the distant stars.
