Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 717 - 486: Food Tao... Tao Master!_3

"Eternal Azure Lotus..."

"Ancient Undying Medicine, obtained Creation to begin enlightenment and cultivation..."

"The reincarnated body is suspected to have once been the fourth Azure Lotus Emperor of the Heavenly Court..."

"The reincarnated body is suspected to have once been the fourth Azure Lotus Heaven Lord of our clan..."

...

The more Shang Yaoqin observed information related to the Eternal Azure Lotus, the brighter her eyes shone.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the rumor claiming "the Eternal Azure Lotus, after surviving nine lifetimes of trials and returning through the passage of time, could then ascertain the Eternity Realm of indestructible immortality," was not without foundation!

"Reincarnation and return, stepping through the passage of time to come back... But then, are you still yourself?"

Shang Yaoqin raised her willow-shaped eyebrows, puzzled.

Yet in her heart, she silently noted this possible path to the Eternity Realm.

Afterwards, she suppressed this thought and began to observe the supreme inheritance of the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord.

She is the Human Race Destiny, regarded as the Great Dream Emperor before achieving Tao Achievement.

Her aptitude and talent were naturally beyond doubt.

As she contemplated, it wasn’t long before the sound of clear, ringing sword chimes filled the air, accompanied by the emergence of revolving and looping Sword Qi and the creation of soaring Sword Light.

The Great Dream Emperor is known as The Strongest Saint, a master of all schools, and the most powerful Great Emperor ever known.

Becoming a dual Tao Master would naturally not be a problem for her.

Could it be that Shang Yaoqin planned to first achieve the status of Sword Tao Master, and then reenact the grand deeds of the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord by slaying the Contemporary Demon Tribe Heavenly Mandate across ranks? Did she intend to slay Xuan Guangqiao first, and then attain the status of Dream Tao Master? It was a crazy thought, yet it held a sliver of logic.

After all, if the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord could accomplish such a feat before his Tao Achievement, there was no reason the Great Dream Emperor couldn’t.

As Shang Yaoqin was lost in contemplation, a beautiful silhouette entered. It was the Azure Lotus Emperess, Flower Yingying!

Flower Yingying possessed a graceful figure. As she moved, luminous petals seemed to drift around her like a rain of light, and a burst of sweet fragrance suddenly enveloped Shang Yaoqin.

In that instant, still immersed in the supreme inheritance of the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord, Shang Yaoqin immediately recognized the visitor’s identity.

"Yaoqin, are you ready? You need to set off for the Ink Sea," Flower Yingying said, her voice crisp and clear, as pleasant as a mountain stream striking against rocks.

"Give me two more hours," Shang Yaoqin replied, continuing to immerse herself in the supreme inheritance of the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord.

Seeing this, Flower Yingying did not press her further.

The common folk only knew that the Dragon Sun Emperor had used the Heaven Earth Secret Realm, Book Mountain, to pass on the Spirit of Human Tao. However, another Heaven Earth Secret Realm, the Ink Sea, was scarcely known.

Even the Heavenly Palace Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors were mostly unaware of the place called the Ink Sea.

In fact, the precise location of the Ink Sea was only shared among the Human Tribe Leaders, such as the Emperor’s sons and Empresses.

For the Ink Sea was the inheritance ground for the Human Race Destiny. There lay the nine Dojos of the Nine Emperors of Human Race, designed to help the Great Dream Emperor, who had yet to achieve Tao, grow rapidly!

The Demon Clan had the Land of Oblivion; naturally, the Human Race also had its own means of preparation!

「On the other side.」

It wasn’t just the Human Race Destiny, Shang Yaoqin, who was curious why the reincarnated body of the Eternal Azure Lotus always seemed to claim the title of "the fourth Great Emperor" in each Heavenly Earth River; the Demon Clan Destiny, Xuan Guangqiao, wondered as well!

After all, the Eternal Azure Lotus was a forerunner on the path to immortality. It was possible that the secrets of the Eternity Realm were hidden within this.

Perhaps, in the future, I can draw some inspiration from this?

The Land of Oblivion lay shattered and beyond repair.

A fierce-looking Cold Moon Dragon brazenly opened its massive mouth, madly gnawing at the Eternal Azure Lotus, which was as enormous as Heaven and Earth.

The branches and vines of the Eternal Azure Lotus, wielding the terrifying power of flying immortals, continuously lashed out, emitting dense Chaos Primordial Qi.

But faced with the indestructible Cold Moon Dragon, It was truly at Its wits’ end.

How infuriating! So utterly infuriating! How could such an existence be? It’s completely beyond comprehension!

CRACK! CRACK!

The crisp sounds continued unabated. Even the vast body of the Eternal Azure Lotus could not withstand the Cold Moon Dragon’s insatiable devouring.

Visibly, the Cold Moon Dragon swelled up, becoming bloated and resembling an inflated leather meteor hammer.

Yet, the Cold Moon Dragon kept eating, and eating!

"I’ll eat, I’ll eat, I’ll eat, eat, eat!!" Hong Yuan, the Cold Moon Dragon, clung to this thought, madly gnawing.

He had a premonition that the Land of Oblivion probably couldn’t withstand such abuse for much longer. Every extra bite he could take was a bonus, a true gain.

Supreme Grandmaster... Food Tao Master!

BOOM!

The heavens and the earth trembled. Purple qi surged from the east, and auspicious signs filled the sky.

At this moment, Hong Yuan had thoroughly comprehended the various profundities of the Food Tao: Swallowing Transformation, Shape Completing Shape, replenishment for endurance, being nourished by the heavens and spawned by the earth, reliance and parasitism... 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Finally, finally, after expending a Herculean effort, he, Hong Yuan, had at last become a Food Tao Master through his own endeavors!

「Meanwhile.」

The Destiny Demon Realm within him was undergoing the first heavenly disaster of its eighth-stage tribulation.

An eighth-stage Saint faces a Heaven Tribulation every seventy years and a great calamity every hundred years. Once every three hundred years comes the Ten Thousand Tribulations, with the third of these being the Small Difficulties of Chaos.

Each tribulation posed a monumental challenge for eighth-stage Saints.

In the mildest cases, they would lose all their possessions; in the most severe, their Tao would be destroyed, and they would perish.

Therefore, methods to delay the arrival of tribulations were exceedingly precious.

Now, Hong Yuan’s Destiny Demon Realm was not only undergoing the Heaven Tribulations and great calamities but also enduring the Ten Thousand Tribulations simultaneously, a truly terrifying prospect.

However, these tribulations, which would terrify other Saints, could not stir up the slightest ripple within Hong Yuan’s Destiny Demon Realm.

Hong Yuan passed the first tribulation of an eighth-stage Saint as lightly as a feather.
