Chapter 840: Mysterious, Incalculable Place
```
Although he was only half immortal, he had coalesced his own immortal body.
The most precious substance of immortality was exactly the immortal material they had coalesced.
Immortality allowed one to not die through the cosmic cycles and in the collapse of the universe, relying precisely on the immortal material, a substance even the cosmic gods lacked. If a being at the fourth step were to acquire it, they could comprehend the even more mysterious realm of immortality.
However, immortal material was too precious, it was their very life.
To take immortal material was to take their life, a fate more horrific than cutting flesh and spilling blood.
The so-called Immortal Divine Crystals were also a type of precious material similar to crystals formed from a large amount of immortal material, which was exactly one of the valuable materials required by the Primordial Book.
After extracting the immortal material, his immortal body was also a vast treasure that could be used to refine the bone giant, granting it stronger resilience.
"Immortal body, even though he is not truly immortal and lacks many mysterious laws compared to true immortality, it is still immensely precious,"
Divine Path said.
He had witnessed the formidable methods of the Martial Emperor in a short period of time.
"Speaking of which, my acquisition of the Immortal Divine Artifact and immortal body this time, I must thank Divine Path for your help,"
Chu Yuan said.
If he had not cared about Divine Path's life and death at that time and had not helped Divine Path, he would not have gained as much. Although the system did not pop up a choice, his own decision also brought him tremendous benefits.
"My Emperor, what are you saying? Without you, could I have retrieved the Immortal Divine Artifact? Could I have broken through to the third step? I, Divine Path, can swear an oath by the Heart Demon. From now on, I will be your most loyal ally and companion. Whenever you need me, Emperor, just say the word!"
Divine Path was deeply aware that he had extended those kindnesses back then because he also wanted to strike at the Thunder Empire.
A single gesture, a minimal act, and today he reaped a massive reward.
He also understood that the future of the universe was ever-changing. The Feathered Divine Dynasty and the ancient emperors of the ethereal realms were about to emerge. Wanting to break through to immortality on his own was insufficient; he might even need the help of the Martial Emperor.
Some people carry great fortune with them. By getting in their good graces, one can receive significant benefits.
Chu Yuan nodded slightly.
Divine Path, after all, was immortal in his past life. He knew too much information, some places he had not been able to conquer due to his inability in the past. Now that he wanted to explore some relics, the Divine Martial Empire would naturally be the first partner he thought of.
Chu Yuan was an Emperor who could be both domineering and beneficial to others, looking far ahead.
"Divine Path."
Chu Yuan fell silent for a moment, "I have been constantly calculating the existence of a person using the Supreme Divine Abilities. I have scoured countless worlds where they had been, but not a trace was found. In this universe, there may be places that can block the predictions of the divine abilities."
"There might be stronger immortals who search through time and space. If someone is utterly dead, it's one thing. Still, if they cannot be traced, they may be in some closed-off place, cut off from everything, where no Divine Abilities can peer."
Divine Path pondered for a moment and said, "Like the divine court of the gods, the Main Heavenly Palace of Heaven's Emperor - to date, no one has found them. After all, immortals like Heaven's Emperor and the gods can't be inferred by ordinary immortals. They can create immortal universes, vastly more profound than the minor universes of cosmic gods, places completely isolated from the laws of the Great Dao."
He continued, "There are too many mysteries in the universe. Although I was once immortal, I couldn't clarify them all. For instance, I have also heard of a place known as the Cosmic Sea's other shore, where it is said not even the cosmic cycles can affect it. It is an independent world, an otherworldly place. Many immortals are searching for it but find it difficult to reach that other shore."
"Divine court, Heavenly Palace, Cosmic Sea's other shore,"
Chu Yuan spoke calmly, "Indeed, there are many mysterious places in the universe."
"Emperor, I know of many places within the Cosmic Sea that contain lost treasures. Now, during the convergence of forces in the age of Immortal Time and Space, it's the right time for us to find them,"
Divine Path suggested collaboration.
Immortal Time and Space is no ordinary Immortal Treasure.
The immortal who left behind the Immortal Time and Space might not be equal to the gods or Heaven's Emperor but belonged to those closest to them. That is why the Feathered Divine Dynasty and others were so attentive to it.
"We will address these matters upon my return to the Empire. I will have someone liaise with Divine Path Sect,"
```
Chu Yuan spoke.
"Good, the struggle for supreme ruler position in the cosmos is turbulent and it is also the best opportunity."
Chu Yuan and the Bone God temporarily left the Cosmic Sea.
Divine Martial Empire.
The Flame Gate spouted flames vigorously, and immortal substances were extracted by him, shining dazzlingly, like the brightest star patterns in the starry sky, condensing into crystal-like substances.
"Three hard-to-find materials, the Immortal Divine Crystals are already obtained, as well as the Primordial Life Stones, Immortal Heart."
Chu Yuan said lightly.
His expectations for the Primordial Book were too high.
The eighteen Death God Symbols had almost no use for him; he directly bestowed them to Shen Youzhe, allowing him to unleash their most powerful force.
As for the immortal body extracted from immortal substances.
He integrated the immortal body into the bone giant. He had already obtained too many cosmic divine corpses in the Divine Tomb, and now all were concentrated within the body of the bone giant, further bestowing the bone giant with a powerful gleam.
It's hard to say about the bone giant's attack, but its defense, infused with the immortal body and a large number of bones, could resist destruction at the fourth step.
Actually, the bone giant was, in Chu Yuan's plans, also meant to be expendable.
He used Divine Abilities to create a bone river within the body of the bone giant, and the power of this river sustained the bone giant's movements. When exhausted, it would need to be replenished by more bones.
Perhaps it was not as good as real powerhouses in some aspects, but indeed it was very handy.
He surveyed his entire empire.
The fortune was like fire, eternally thriving, the period of great strength.
The accelerated progress of the Human Kings' Realm had resolved Chu Yuan's embarrassment of the empire being newly established. His subjects could rapidly cultivate within the Human Kings' Realm.
And during this time, Yang Teng himself led the fleet, expanding the boundaries of the empire.
Chu Yuan had Shadow Spy follow Yang Teng, assisting him in his actions.
Agents of the Purple Blood Demonic Book also pushed horizontally through many relics within the Cosmic Sea, sending a large number of resources back to the empire. In a short period of time, many Saints directly broke through to the realm of World Gods.
Yang Teng and his cohort of old ministers also reached the fifth step of World Gods one after another.
Moreover, the influx of so many resources gave Chu Yuan many resources to create war weapons. The number of Star God Battleships and Barrier-breaking Cannons increased dramatically each day.
"The development of the empire is going well but this is not enough,"
Chu Yuan decreed to the Purple Blood Demonic Book.
"Come to see me promptly,"
"Your Majesty,"
The Purple Blood Demonic Book returned to Chu Yuan's presence.
He was in high spirits. With the ample supply of the empire's resources, he had broken through to the second step, the realm of the Purple Blood Cosmic God of the past.
This was all his due, for his great dedication to the empire.
"Put aside the matters you have in the Cosmic Sea for now. I will have Wild Demon and the others interface with the Bone God Sect for our cooperation in the Cosmic Sea,"
Chu Yuan said, "Now come with me to the Book Universe to meet the master inside it."
