Chapter 189 Leaving a Hand
The words Ye Fan had just recounted to Gai Jiuyou, Fang Ming, as the master of this realm, naturally heard clearly.
"The future has actually undergone such a great change?"
Fang Ming's expression became solemn.
It was clear that his arrival had caused a tremendous change in the future here, fundamentally altering its original trajectory.
"Originally, I thought if the situation on the Perfect side wasn't good, I could temporarily hide here and cultivate in peace. Now it seems that while Covering Heavens appears calm, it actually hides unknown undercurrents..."
Thoughts flowed through Fang Ming's mind.
In an instant, his vast divine sense quietly spread out, wanting to search for clues.
However, he was destined to be disappointed; he couldn't find any traces related to the Strange and the ominous; everything had already been wiped out.
Attempting to deduce, there was even less of a trace; even using the Immortal King Dao Fruit yielded no clues.
"Didn't find it... Where is it hidden? Or is it hidden nearby..."
Fang Ming retracted his divine sense; the eyes of the manifested phantom were deep as he gazed into the void, as if he could see through layers of void and Chaos, seeing the shattered Immortal Domain, and thought to himself, "Is it within the Immortal Domain? Not long after they became Immortal and entered the Immortal Domain, they encountered forces belonging to the Strange Clan..."
"Hidden really well..."
Fang Ming shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.
He was certain that if someone in this realm had issues, then a True Immortal, or at least a Red Dust Immortal, would definitely not be able to find any clues.
"The Ye Fan just now didn't mention my existence. Could it be that in the future, I was perhaps sniped in advance?"
Thinking of this, Fang Ming's expression was slightly strange.
Besides being 'sniped' in advance, he couldn't think of why he wouldn't appear in the future.
This place was of no small importance, related to his path as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even an Immortal Emperor; unless it was a true desperate situation, how could he abandon this place?
"Was it an Immortal King who attacked? Or a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?"
Thinking of the various possibilities, Fang Ming's heart tightened.
An Immortal King wasn't that critical; the main concern was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Currently, Liu Shen had fully recovered, and with continued cultivation, she would sooner or later become a true Di Guang Immortal King, counted among the invincible ones among Immortal Kings.
If an enemy were to arrive soon, and it was at the lower level of an Immortal King, at worst, he could go all out and ask Liu Shen to take action; he believed Liu Shen would be enough to handle it.
But if the enemy was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, then there would be enormous trouble.
The Immortal King realm did not have the distinction of early, middle, or late stages, meaning theoretically, all Immortal Kings could attempt to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
Di Guang Immortal King, seemingly powerful and only one step away from Quasi-Immortal Emperor, was actually worlds apart; under normal circumstances, it required a long time to make the breakthrough.
"Perhaps things aren't as I imagined..."
Fang Ming's thoughts turned, thinking of other possibilities.
If a Quasi-Immortal Emperor attacked, there was no reason to just erase him; since the others were still intact, they would likely be wiped out along the way.
"No matter what happens in the future, I must take some countermeasures!"
Fang Ming unconsciously furrowed his brows, thinking about what he had that could pose a threat to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
The future seen may not necessarily happen; there are countless possibilities in the future, and what Ye Fan saw was just one with a relatively high probability; there were also various other possibilities.
Of course, if nothing was done, and without external interference, the future Ye Fan saw just now had a very high probability of happening.
As Fang Ming's thoughts turned, two gateways appeared beside him.
The two gateways were tightly shut; one of them appeared greyish-black, with numerous imprints of fierce beasts and divine spirits upon it, possessing the aura of primeval Chaos, seemingly born alongside Chaos, ancient to the extreme.
One was a bronze door, with beautiful patterns on it, like a vast ocean imprinted on the door panel; it didn't have many special auras, like a common door in the mundane world.
The former was the Original Gate, the latter Fang Ming only vaguely remembered being related to the Ruthless Person, but he no longer remembered exactly what it was, only that this door was very unusual.
Reaching out to touch the bronze door, the words spoken on the Time Sea instantly surfaced in his mind.
"The Original Gate connects to the other side of the Boundary Sea, which is meaningless, and might even cause great trouble."
Fang Ming's thoughts turned, and the Original Gate was put away by him.
The Original Gate connecting to the other side of the Boundary Sea, whether it connected to the Boundary Sea here or the Boundary Sea in Perfect, was not suitable.
It's not certain if the Boundary Sea here can still be connected.
However, his All Heavens World, through the All Heavens World Gate, opened up time and space, causing time and space to intersect.
The Boundary Sea connected after the Original Gate is opened is very likely the Boundary Sea on the Perfect side.
At that time, if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan opened the door out of curiosity, it would be hard to say what would happen.
"I'll just leave this gateway connecting to the Time Sea here; as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat."
Thinking of this, Fang Ming revealed a smile and thought to himself, "I'd like to see if curiosity can kill an Immortal King, or kill a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."
This gateway was left by the Ruthless Person, intended for when Fang Ming could establish his Dao with his body in the future, a gateway for cross-temporal communication.
Establishing Dao with one's body means Fang Ming could only open this bronze door and enter the Time Sea after reaching the Immortal King realm.
This door might not be a magical artifact; Fang Ming speculated it might even be a divine ability.
However, no matter what it was, as long as an Immortal King or Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan rashly barged in, their fate would naturally be self-evident.
With his thoughts turning, his attention mostly returned to his main body on the Perfect side, comprehending the Dao Fruit of the Reincarnation Body, in order to achieve Immortal Dao as quickly as possible.
On the side of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and Three Thousand Provinces, one giant warship after another broke through the air, transporting various supplies.
These supplies were transported from the Heavenly God Academy, the Saint Institute, and the Immortal Institute.
The news of the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit's return and the establishment of a Daoist academy spread like a storm, exciting the cultivators of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths immensely.
And the news that the Heavenly and Earthly Great Dao was about to be completed was even more exhilarating, causing billions of cultivators to burn incense, bathe, quiet their minds, and focus their spirits, preparing to guide the Dao into their bodies and receive the baptism of the Great Dao.
Somewhere in the Three Thousand Provinces, a woman of peerless beauty was enveloped in immortal qi; her exquisite face at this moment held an indescribable strangeness.
Looking at the giant ships in the sky, she thought to herself: "The events of this Luan Gu Era seem different from what Grandmaster Ancestor and the others deduced. Grandmaster Ancestor Duan De is indeed just as unreliable as Grandmaster Ancestor Black Emperor..."
"Things seem even more interesting than imagined..."
A smile of someone who feared the world wasn't chaotic enough appeared on the girl's face.
The reason she came here, besides being special enough herself, was also due to her personality.
Above the Nine Heavens, the many Heavenly Talents from the Heavenly God Academy, the Saint Institute, and the Immortal Institute all set off separately, hurrying towards the Three Thousand Provinces.
First, they arrived at the Borderland of the Three Thousand Provinces via teleportation arrays, then crossed the no-man's land, rushing towards the Three Thousand Provinces.
In fact, the original plan wasn't like this; instead, news came from the Borderland of the Three Thousand Provinces that immortal light had burst forth from the no-man's land of the Three Thousand Provinces.
Phantoms of Kirin and Heavenly Phoenix rushed out, suspected to be the emergence of the Kirin and Heavenly Phoenix's cave dwellings, so it was planned to let these people try their luck.
Somewhere in the forbidden no-man's zone, Shi Hao, the Devil Woman, Cao Yusheng, Qin Hao, and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit stood in a daze within a patch of purple bamboo forest.
A gust of clear wind blew, causing the bamboo forest to rustle, making the few people shiver.
This was a scorched earth, the soil blackened as if soaked in fresh blood; the few people looked up and around, revealing expressions of disbelief, tears even hanging in the corners of their eyes.
"Was that an illusion just now?"
The silver-haired girl's voice was hoarse, lacking her usual liveliness.
Thinking of what had just happened, she was very sad.
Although the time wasn't long, those people were truly friendly, possessing an Immortal Dao aura, an immortal intent.
"No..."
Shi Hao shook his head and said, "Didn't we see Lord Xuan Ming and the King from the Other Realm in fierce battle at the end?"
"Moreover..."
Saying this, he picked up a piece of metal mixed with immortal gold from the scorched soil on the ground and said, "This is his long sword."
Shi Hao continued, "Perhaps they didn't truly perish. At the end, they were sent away by Lord Xuan Ming; maybe they are somewhere in this no-man's land."
Hearing Shi Hao's words, the few people present nodded; it wasn't that such a possibility didn't exist.
"The magic power of the two Lord Immortal Kings is truly astonishing; they were actually able to send us back to that era..."
Qin Hao sighed endlessly.
"That was an Immortal King after all, a supreme existence."
Cao Yusheng was impressed, then showed a look of doubt and said, "But what was that fleeting immortal light at the end?"
The others were all puzzled, only Shi Hao and the Devil Woman showed solemn expressions, as if they had thought of something.
That thing spread Xuanhuang, with nine-colored immortal light flowing, clearly the Emperor Cauldron they had seen in the Immortal Dao Flower World back then.
At that time, when the Immortal Ancient Era was destroyed and about to return, Shi Hao clearly saw not just that cauldron, but also other things, rushing from further down in Time.
Finally, Shi Hao spoke, saying cautiously, "That might be an artifact from a more distant future; it's better not to get involved."
The others present also understood the seriousness of the matter, knowing that things involving the past and future carried unimaginable karma, and were not something they could get involved in now.
"Let's go look for Little Kirin and凰 Nu and the others; perhaps they are waiting for us somewhere."
The Taiyin Jade Rabbit said.
Within the forbidden no-man's zone, Shi Hao and his group gradually moved away, walking towards the place of psychic connection in the depths of the unknown.
On the Three Thousand Provinces side, Fang Ming's cultivation was rapidly increasing.
The difficulty for an Extreme Dao Supreme to advance to the Immortal Dao level is not fixed; it varies from person to person.
The relationship is subtle; the more powerful one is in the Human Dao realm, the more difficult it is to achieve Immortal Dao.
Conversely, cultivators in the middle stages find it relatively easier to become Immortal.
During the Immortal Ancient Era, Fang Ming also spent nine hundred years to truly achieve Immortal Dao.
Now, even with the Dao Fruit of the Reincarnation Body, Fang Ming still needed some time to convert it into his own Dao Fruit.
"Gai Jiuyou achieving Dao in my world indeed confirms that my idea is feasible."
Fang Ming thought to himself.
He carefully sensed the changes in the All Heavens World connecting the two realms; Gai Jiuyou achieved Dao there, and his Dao was imprinted in that world, causing that heaven and earth to gain a type of Great Dao.
It wasn't just a simple imprint of the Great Dao, but a deeper connection; his world gained a type of Great Dao, making that heaven and earth slightly stronger.
Of course, it was just a type of Great Dao in the Human Dao realm, not very strong, so the benefit to him wasn't great.
But for Fang Ming, this was a good start, representing the feasibility of his idea.
Whether it was successfully achieving Dao or perishing by melting into the Dao, both were beneficial to Fang Ming.
