Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 192 Talking about Origin

Time flowed, two months quickly passed, and the Supremes of the Life Forbidden Zone were clearly very patient.

Although there were many opportunities in the world behind the Immortal Gate, for them, without achieving immortality and lacking vast amounts of immortal substance, they could remain patient.

After sending a group of people to probe and learning some inside information, they extinguished the idea of emerging at this time.

Although the immortal opportunities were great, they no longer had the fortune to enjoy them; given their state, once they emerged without a massive supply of immortal substance, they would quickly perish, which was beyond doubt.

Immortal scriptures and Immortal Dao inheritances also could not improve their state of nearing death.

News of Gai Jiuyou achieving the Dao spread throughout the starry sky; the Human Clan gained an Extreme Dao Supreme, and the imperial might, identical to that of a Great Emperor, was not false.

Especially when Gai Jiuyou went to the depths of the starry sky to reforged the ancient starry road, and his imperial might naturally flowed, that aura capable of suppressing All Heavens and the Universe made myriad spirits tremble with fear.

Myriad spirits gathered in the Northern Dipper, and the world behind the Immortal Gate suddenly became lively; they discovered more Immortal Cities, ancient battlefields, and hidden secret realms.

All cultivators who entered this world believed this was the legacy of their ancestors, things intentionally left behind, waiting for future generations to inherit.

Some were ecstatic, while others believed it was likely not a good thing.

Because news spread that some people had seen glimpses of this universe's future, where external enemies invaded, all living beings perished, and All Heavens turned into ruins.

The reason why a large amount of resources in this realm were sealed was intentional by the ancestors, who calculated the arrival of external enemies and had no choice but to activate their final reserves, striving for one last struggle.

Of course, not many people believed this explanation; more believed this realm was a part of the true Immortal Domain.

After some time, the true Immortal Domain would open, and then they would be able to enter the Immortal Domain and enjoy true great immortality and great freedom!

Not many paid attention to that explanation, but were instead immersed in searching for immortal opportunities.

Despite this, Gai Jiuyou, Ye Fan, and others who knew the truth didn't pay much attention either.

In such a world, it was destined that only the power of the high-end minority mattered; the majority were destined to be overlooked.

Under normal circumstances, a Great Emperor, as long as it didn't involve the true Great Emperor realm, could not be matched by any number of Quasi-Emperors; they were merely embellishments.

Although the power of the collective could not be ignored, the focus was still on the top few individuals; they were the key to victory.

One should not confuse the primary and secondary; the current focus should be on those Heavenly Talents with the potential of a Great Emperor, ensuring they do not perish prematurely.

Therefore, they placed their focus on improving their own cultivation and paying attention to which Heavenly Talents existed.

The world behind the Immortal Gate contained numerous opportunities; the ancient battlefields and ancient ruins held mysterious beings and were excellent places for tempering.

Moreover, the world behind the Immortal Gate currently gathered Heavenly Talents from myriad races, and major clashes were happening constantly.

In nearly three months, Fang Ming continuously transformed the Dao fruit of his Reincarnation Body into his own Dao fruit; his All Heavens World was rapidly expanding all the time, and his cultivation had advanced significantly towards the Immortal Dao level.

With the Reincarnation Body's Dao fruit, he naturally wouldn't need nearly a thousand years to achieve immortality like in the Immortal Ancient Era.

"A hundred years..." Inside the Great Dao Ancient Tree, Fang Ming shook his head, "Ten to several decades might be enough!"

The reason for such a large fluctuation was that he couldn't be sure if some upcoming matters would proceed smoothly.

If it went smoothly, it would naturally be much faster; if not, that would be another matter, and the speed would be slower.

Watching the movements on the Covering Heavens side, Fang Ming slightly nodded.

In terms of average quality, among the Heavenly Talents sealed since ancient times, the quality of the Heavenly Talents over there was relatively higher.

This was the advantage brought by the cultivation system.

It had to be said that the secret realm system developed by Shi Hao was indeed superior to the current system and could adapt better to various environments.

At this moment, a beam of immortal light tore through the void, and a slender figure enveloped in immortal light walked out from the void; it was Liu Shen.

The Great Dao Ancient Tree swayed gently, and Fang Ming asked, "What were the results?"

He knew what Liu Shen had gone to do; currently, there were indeed a few Immortal Kings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who could still be revived.

Outside the Borderland, in that ancient Primitive Imperial City, there was still one of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands present, the second-ranked in the world who once competed with the True Dragon for the title of 'True Dragon', a Daoist formed from Yellow Dao Immortal Gold.

"The situation is alright," Liu Shen spoke calmly, "We saved three Fellow Daoists: Suzaku King, Yinglong King, and Huangdao King."

Suzaku King, one of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands; Yinglong King, who once competed with the True Dragon for the title of 'True Dragon' but narrowly lost; Huangdao King, a Yellow Dao Immortal Gold that gained sentience and achieved the Dao, with a body exceptionally solid.

Yinglong King was the Bird Lord of the Void God Realm, and Huangdao King was the Essence Wall Lord.

"This can be considered a good thing," Fang Ming said, "With the original gate in hand, even if the Other Realm has the origin ancient artifact and launches another large-scale invasion, we can use this to resist the Other Realm."

The original gate could unleash power far exceeding ordinary Immortal artifacts in his hands, and in Liu Shen's hands, it would certainly be even stronger.

Fang Ming believed that the original gate's level should be close to an Immortal Emperor artifact.

Unlike the Da Luo Sword Embryo, the original gate was a magical artifact that could truly perform beyond the norm!

Although the Da Luo Sword Embryo was strong and high-grade, its grade was whatever the user's level was, and it didn't display power beyond reason.

Liu Shen shook her head and said calmly, "The original gate doesn't involve the secret of breaking through from King to Emperor, so the Other Realm won't launch a large-scale invasion; there will likely just be a significant probing attempt."

"I once killed my way into the Other Realm and captured an Immortal King, learning the secrets of the Other Realm; they want to activate their origin ancient artifact and are searching for a wooden box, which is rumored to contain a seed," Liu Shen said with a slight solemnity.

"They believe that origin ancient artifact can create Immortal Emperors, so they are trying every means to activate it, attempting to break through from King to Emperor," she said, shaking her head, "But now it seems it's just a futile effort."

If they didn't understand how to achieve the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, that would be one thing, but now it seemed that even if the Other Realm activated the so-called origin ancient artifact, they still wouldn't achieve the so-called Immortal Emperor realm.

"The box they are searching for might not be the key to activating the origin ancient artifact..." Enveloped in immortal light, Liu Shen's brow furrowed slightly, seemingly puzzled, "There must be something wrong... or are they really searching for that box?"

Saying this, she looked at Fang Ming, "Fellow Daoist, do you happen to know what's going on?"

"Fellow Daoist, there are some things I cannot say directly," Fang Ming's voice came, "What I can say is, Fellow Daoist must pay attention to that box and not let the Other Realm take it."

Fang Ming roughly knew about this matter; the current source of darkness was the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

Without needing to think, it must be that under his instinct, he wanted to return to wholeness, and thus subconsciously drove the dark creatures under his command to search for his fragmented body, primordial spirit, and other things.

The fragmented body was sealed within the Da Luo Sword Embryo, an Immortal Emperor weapon, which isolated everything, naturally making it impossible to find.

Only that rotten wooden box still had a trace that could be searched for.

Naturally, the primary target was placed on that box.

Hearing this, Liu Shen's expression turned solemn, and then she said with some helplessness, "To not hide anything from Fellow Daoist, we have also searched for that box before, but we haven't found any trace."

It was normal that they couldn't find it; that was a box used by an Immortal Emperor to seal his primordial spirit.

A Quasi-Immortal Emperor inherently shielded heavenly secrets; their history and past would be shrouded in mist, let alone an Immortal Emperor?

"We couldn't find it, and the Other Realm couldn't find it either; just pay attention to the movements of the Other Realm," Fang Ming was quite calm; he reminded her, "That box should be near our realm, otherwise the Other Realm wouldn't invest so much energy."

While aggression and expansion were indeed instincts for the Other Realm, which had attacked countless great realms, not every realm was presided over by Kun Di.

The attack on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was personally presided over by Kun Di, a move from his hand.

From this, it could be seen that this supreme giant likely had some feeling, or was driven by the Corpse Immortal Emperor generating a sense, but was just unable to genuinely sense the location of that box.

Hearing this, Liu Shen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Could it be in the Burial Region? The Burial Region's origin is mysterious; in the deepest part of the Burial Region, there is a supreme Burial King who raises True Phoenixes like chickens, with unfathomable strength..."

"It is rumored that the Burial Region also has an origin ancient artifact..." Liu Shen's gaze was profound as she looked at the Great Dao Ancient Tree suspended in the air, as if she could see Fang Ming's primordial spirit inside.

She believed Fang Ming had another origin and perhaps knew these secrets.

In fact, having reached her level, even if the Burial Region was isolated from the world, she knew a little about the Burial Region and Burial beings.

In fact, the origins of the Burial Ground and the Other Realm were indeed the same, originating from darkness.

But as the saying goes, one type of rice feeds a hundred types of people.

Beings born from the same dark ominous substance, one was aggressive by nature, constantly breaking through great realms and annihilating entire realms; the other slept day and night in the so-called Burial Region, sleeping for millions of years, or even an era.

As long as one didn't provoke them, they could be completely regarded as non-existent.

Two flowers bloomed, completely different; the Burial beings seemed as if they hadn't been affected at all.

"The Burial Ground and the Other Realm indeed originate from the same source," Fang Ming spoke calmly, "Time has passed, and under normal circumstances, it's basically impossible for them to come together."

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Liu Shen understood; if they couldn't come together under normal circumstances, it meant that special circumstances couldn't be ruled out.

Burial Kings had always been mysterious and rarely clashed, their personalities vastly different from the Immortal Kings of the Other Realm; it was normal for them not to get along under normal circumstances.

Recalling the black figures Kun Di summoned when she defeated him that day, Liu Shen spoke, "Fellow Daoist means that the Other Realm definitely possesses power exceeding the Immortal King level?"

Before Fang Ming could speak, she said with certainty, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the so-called origin ancient artifact, right? That ancient artifact that created countless dark creatures!"

The existence of the origin ancient artifact was not a secret; over the long years, the Other Realm often used this ancient artifact to create immeasurable dark creatures.

"Correct," Fang Ming's reply was very brief; he was unwilling to discuss that level of existence too much.

Although it was just a weapon in slumber, an Immortal King's sacrifice might not awaken it; it needed to be affected by the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to awaken, but he always felt it was better to be a little cautious.

It was impossible to be sure if mentioning it too much would cause it to sense something and want to take a look; at that level, although a weapon was not as good as a true cultivator, it also possessed the might of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

For an Immortal King, no matter what level of Immortal King, that was an existence that could crush them, impossible to resist.

Liu Shen nodded, understanding what Fang Ming was wary of, and then stopped mentioning matters of the Other Realm; indeed, involving Quasi-Immortal Emperors, that level of power should not be mentioned too much.

At this moment, Liu Shen looked at Fang Ming and reminded him, "Fellow Daoist, I am about to repair the Great Dao of our realm's heavens and earth and complete the laws; Fellow Daoist can prepare yourself. When the myriad Great Daos of All Heavens emerge, I can help Fellow Daoist introduce various Great Dao laws into your own Cave Heaven World, which might be of considerable benefit to Fellow Daoist."

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were far larger than ordinary Great Chiliocosms; after the Great Dao of heavens and earth were completed, and the myriad Great Dao laws were completed, even if it was just an imprint, for Fang Ming, it was indeed a rare opportunity that could save him a lot of cultivation time.
