"Then I really don't understand. Since Chi You can't kill you and he can't leave this place, why can't you coexist peacefully instead of suppressing him?"
Li Yao asked in bewilderment.
"Because Chi You has always been unwilling to be trapped here and has been trying every means to leave this place and return to the human world, we cannot let him return to the human world and harm the common people."
Emperor Yan explained.
"In other words, you can't be sure whether Chi You can break through the barrier of this space and leave this place?"
Li Yao asked.
"That's absolutely right!"
The Yellow Emperor nodded and said, "Although we have been here for many years, our understanding of this space is still very limited. We cannot be sure whether we can leave this place."
"Alright, now I'll assume you can't leave here. So, Master White Eyebrows, how will you transport the weapon you found to the mortal realm?"
Li Yao asked Bai Mei.
“I once read in an ancient book that I could use my spiritual power left in the human world to send weapons to the human world.”
Bai Mei explained.
"Indeed, I've seen such a record before!"
"However, this mental power can only be used once!"
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and others nodded in agreement.
"I see!"
Having heard this, Li Yao had a general understanding of this celestial realm.
This celestial realm is indeed vastly different from the celestial realms in other worlds.
This place isn't as wonderful as I imagined!
On the contrary, this place is like a huge cage, trapping these so-called immortals here and depriving them of their freedom forever.
Although these immortals achieved immortal bodies and reached the realm of immortality, they were able to live forever without aging, dying, or being destroyed.
But is this really the result they wanted?
They would probably regret it deeply once they knew this, regretting ascending to this lifeless, godforsaken place.
Staying here is not as free as being in the human world.
Moreover, the everyday life in the city is much more exciting and interesting than here.
At this moment, Bai Mei must be regretting it to death!
I'm afraid it won't be long before he, like the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, will dissolve his body and become an immortal, his body buried in a tomb, while his primordial spirit lives in this lake, enduring endless loneliness.
"Heh, this is the price of immortality!"
Li Yao couldn't help but feel sorry for these so-called immortals.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "By the way, where is this Demon Valley you're talking about?"
"You want to see Chi You?"
The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor exchanged a glance and couldn't help but become wary.
They didn't know anything about Li Yao's background, but Li Yao suddenly mentioned Mogu.
They feared that Li Yao was a remnant of Chi You's forces, sent to rescue Chi You.
"Hehe, there's no need to look at me so warily. I just want to see Chi You; I have no other intentions!"
"If I want to save Chi You, you can't stop me!"
Li Yao immediately saw through the worries of the Yellow Emperor and others.
"Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Li is definitely not a demon!"
Bai Mei quickly spoke up for Li Yao.
"Alright, we'll take you to see Magic Valley!"
After hesitating for a moment, the Yellow Emperor nodded slightly.
Chapter 633 Ascending to Immortality through Disintegration
The Yellow Emperor was preparing to take Li Yao to the Demon Valley.
At this moment, Bai Mei suddenly spoke up, "Yellow Emperor, why can't I fly like you?"
He saw the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, the Kunlun Patriarch, and others, their bodies suspended in mid-air, able to fly around.
But he himself couldn't fly before.
This puzzled him greatly!
The Yellow Emperor smiled and explained, "Although you have already ascended to this place, you still have a physical body and have not yet achieved immortality through the process of corpse liberation. If you want to fly, you must first undergo corpse liberation."
"Yes, old friend White-Browed, now that you're here, hurry up and dissect your body, just like us!"
"Otherwise, due to the thin spiritual energy here, you will die from insufficient spiritual energy before long!"
"Rather than suffer this pain, it's better to just end it all and become an immortal right now!"
The Kunlun Patriarch spoke up from the side.
Actually, "corpse dissolution" is a general term that refers to any physical death. The specific name varies depending on the method of death.
For example, drowning is called "water death," burning to death is called "fire death," and being killed by weapons is called "military death"...
There are two types of "disintegration by weapons": one is being killed by someone else with a weapon, and the other is committing suicide with a weapon.
Immortality does not necessarily lead to ascension to immortality; some may be reincarnated and cultivate again after achieving immortality.
For example, in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 5 Prequel", Gang Zhan, one of the six elders of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, released all his power when the seal of the Well of Gods and Demons in the Shushan Demon Locking Tower was about to be destroyed by the Demon Lord Jiang Shili. In a short time, he gained great power and reinforced the seal of the Well of Gods and Demons with his own strength. Furthermore, his primordial spirit left his body and injured the final boss, Kumu.
After his physical body disintegrated, Gang Zhan died because his spirit and body separated, and his soul power was damaged, so he entered the cycle of reincarnation.
However, in the world of "The Legend of Shushan", as long as you ascend to this so-called celestial realm and dissolve your body here, you will definitely become an immortal.
Having cultivated Taoism for many years, Bai Mei naturally knew what corpse liberation was all about.
But with such a desolate celestial realm, is it still necessary for him to become an immortal?
But if he doesn't become an immortal, where can he go?
He is now unable to leave this second space.
Therefore, he had no choice but to undergo the process of corpse dissolution to become an immortal!
After hesitating for a while, Bai Mei finally spoke up: "Alright, I will now disintegrate into an immortal."
"Use this to dismember!"
The Flame Emperor, who was standing to the side, tossed the two-pronged fork in his hand to White Eyebrows.
Immediately, he flipped his right hand and slammed his palm into an open space, creating a large crater.
Once one becomes an immortal, one can recover a portion of their magical power.
Therefore, it was more than enough for Emperor Yan to use his magic to blast out a grave pit.
Li Yao's lips twitched!
This was the first time he had ever seen a group of celestial beings living such miserable lives.
It seems that not all celestial beings in the world live a comfortable and carefree life.
"I have a Mind-Concentrating Pill here. After you take it, it will help you concentrate your primordial spirit, so that it will not dissipate after you disintegrate!"
The Yellow Emperor spread his right hand, and a greenish pill appeared in his hand.
"Thank you, Yellow Emperor, for bestowing the elixir!"
Bai Mei respectfully accepted the Mind-Concentrating Pill.
Then, he walked to his grave, hesitated for a moment, then took the Mind-Concentrating Pill, and then used the two-pronged fork given to him by Emperor Yan to stab himself in the chest.
puff!
Blood spurted out, staining the grave pit red.
White Eyebrows' body fell straight down into the grave pit.
Immediately, Bai Mei's primordial spirit floated out of his body and quickly condensed into the shape of Bai Mei.
However, at this moment, Bai Mei, like Huangdi, Yandi, and others, had both feet off the ground and was floating in the air.
Emperor Yan reached out and sucked the two prongs into his hand. With a gentle blow, he cleaned the blood off the prongs.
Then, he smiled and said to White Eyebrows, "This body is yours; bury it yourself!"
Bai Mei was both amused and exasperated, so he could only nod and wave his hands in the air, burying his own body with the surrounding soil.
"There are stones there, let's carve a tombstone for ourselves!"
Emperor Yan pointed to the stone mountain not far away and said to Bai Mei.
At this moment, Li Yao and Bai Mei realized that they had carved the inscriptions on these tombstones themselves.
Bai Mei gently shook his head, then used his magic to carve a tombstone on the rocky mountain and placed it in front of his own grave. He then used his magic to carve his name on the tombstone.
"To bury yourself and then carve your own tombstone—it's a bit unsettling no matter how you look at it!"
Li Yao, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips violently again.
Bai Mei finished carving the inscription for himself, then said to Li Yao, "Fellow Daoist Li, since you've come here too, why not follow my example and achieve immortality through spiritual transformation? After becoming an immortal, your magical power will be greatly restored!"
"Forget it, I'm a rather materialistic person, I can't bear to part with this body of mine!"
Li Yao waved his hand, resolutely refusing.
What a joke! To call him immortal through physical transformation is impossible unless the world is destroyed and the Great Dao disappears!
"Actually, even if you don't disintegrate now, your physical body will die soon, and then you will still achieve immortality through corpse disintegration!"
The Yellow Emperor spoke.
