Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Although he was the most beloved disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun in the Hongmeng World, that world was ultimately created by Nuwa specifically for him. While Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun must have tacitly approved of the existence of that projection of himself because of Nuwa, whether he acknowledged him as his disciple remains unknown.

Although we are now under Nuwa's protection, who would complain about having too many powerful backers?

After an unknown amount of time, gazing at the magnificent and boundless world before him, the Shadow Celestial Venerable bowed and reported to the carriage: "My Lord, we have arrived at the Great World of Yu Yu Heaven."

Ying Zheng lifted the carriage curtain and saw that this world was vast, hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the Hongmeng World. Countless worlds were layered on top of each other, like nested boxes, forming the Yu Yu Tian Great World.

Its core is Yu Yu Tian – the Daoist temple established by Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

As the hub of the entire great world, the Yu Yu Heavenly Lord World is revered and worshipped by countless beings within it.

Ying Zheng opened his Eye of the Great Dao and vaguely glimpsed an unparalleled power flowing within it—the Great Dao belonging to the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. A vast and boundless Dao aura condensed into a hazy phantom, presiding over the Great World; its robes alone were more magnificent than countless worlds.

When Ying Zheng looked at Him, the illusory figure lowered its eyes and gazed at him: "Foolish child, why don't you come in?"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed: "I will obey my master's orders!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared, and following the guidance of that power, he arrived at the most sacred and glorious place in Yu Yu Tian.

After Ying Zheng disappeared, the four members of the Shadow and Dark Heavenly Venerables looked at each other and whispered hoarsely, "Our lord is actually a disciple of the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable, and has a close relationship with the Goddess Nuwa. His background is truly unfathomable!"

"Perhaps only a powerful figure like him could cultivate such an extraordinary being as our Lord," Blood Slaughter Sword Master remarked.

At this moment, Ying Zheng looked up and saw the plaque above. The three characters "Biyou Palace" contained the profound mysteries of the supreme Dao. Each floor tile here was built from a world of its own, and its grandeur was unimaginable.

The moment he stepped into the main hall, the stars shifted and the void changed; Ying Zheng had already been sent to the back garden.

A gentle breeze carried the faint scent of lotus blossoms, and there sat a familiar yet unfamiliar figure by the pond, fishing with a rod.

The lotus flowers in the pond were vibrant with life, exuding an aura of creation. If I'm not mistaken, these should be Creation Lotuses. The highest-ranking Creation Lotus in the pond, the sixteenth-grade, is at least comparable to a Primordial Treasure. The surrounding Creation Lotuses of the twelfth, ninth, sixth, and third grades were all cultivated from its seeds.

Beneath the lotus leaves, golden koi carp, exuding dragon energy, swam among them. Each golden koi had awakened its intelligence, vying to peck at the bait scattered by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

A carp accidentally took the bait, and Lingbao Tianzun held it in his palm. The carp happily rubbed against the Tianzun's fingers.

Lingbao Tianzun removed the fishhook and released the carp back into the pond.

"puff!"

As the Celestial Venerable's aura and spiritual radiance flowed into the fish's body, a dragon's roar suddenly arose, and the koi transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon.

"Yan!"

However, the evolved golden dragon showed no joy; instead, it gazed longingly at Lingbao Tianzun. The spatial rift below swallowed it up, and it vanished in an instant.

At the same time, a small fish swam out of the spatial rift, excitedly leaped into the pool, and scrambled for the remaining bits of bait.

Upon closer inspection, Ying Zheng discovered that the bait was condensed from numerous innate spiritual roots and fruits, containing a trace of the aura of the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable. No wonder the five-clawed golden dragon was so regretful after its evolution; if it had stayed here, it could have gained countless opportunities and laid an incredibly solid foundation for its future.

Lingbao Tianzun, who had put down his fishing rod, turned around and looked at him: "You've come. Your master has been waiting for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng lowered his head and said softly, as if admitting his mistake, "It was my oversight. I just never expected that Master would acknowledge me as his disciple..."

Lingbao Tianzun raised his hand to help him up: "Foolish child, you were originally the successor I had chosen. Otherwise, Nuwa's favor alone would not have been enough for me to accept you as my disciple."

"Now is the perfect time to come, the opportune moment to lay the foundation for your Dao. My two senior brothers and I have jointly created a secret repository of the Great Dao, which contains the myriad Great Daos and Laws we have collected. You can use this to comprehend and build a more perfect foundation for your Primordial Dao, making it ever more complete."

Lingbao Tianzun carefully examined Ying Zheng, his face showing approval.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up with joy; he hadn't expected his master to have such a grand gesture.

The Great Dao and Laws collected by the three Dao Ancestors at the Hunyuan Wuji realm must be incredibly vast.

Not to mention that they are all ancient beings, and the laws of the Great Luo and Hunyuan realms that appear within their perception range have probably been quietly copied and incorporated into this secret treasure.

This was an opportunity that Ying Zheng had been longing for, as he was worried about how to perfect the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

I thought it would take countless hours and a lot of effort, but I didn't expect to get it so easily. It's true that it's good to have a big tree to lean on.

If he were to rely on his own strength, it would take countless years.

Ying Zheng immediately expressed his gratitude with joy: "Thank you for your generous gift, Master!"

"No need for thanks, this is the result of your own diligence. Before becoming a Great Luo Immortal, you have already condensed your own path of cultivation, and instead of rushing to break through the realm, you are steadily laying a solid foundation. I have high hopes for you, and you may be able to stand alongside us in the future."

Lingbao Tianzun said with emotion.

"Go." With a flick of his sleeve, a spatial rift quietly opened, instantly engulfing Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng came to his senses, he found himself inside the Great Dao's secret treasure trove.

The omnipresent laws and principles are laid bare here, as if beckoning him.

These principles were readily available, prompting Ying Zheng to unleash his divine sense without hesitation.

He spread his soul power throughout the entire space, sensing the omnipresent laws and principles.

Among them, the most magnificent are Shangqing Avenue, Yuqing Avenue and Taiqing Avenue.

Using the Taoist names of their master and two senior masters as their names clearly indicates that this is the great path they cultivate.

These great paths are perfect and flawless; it seems as if one can find the source of all laws and great paths within this secret realm.

It is evident that this secret treasure must have been opened up by the master and senior master for cultivation. The Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Chaos Realm is indeed extraordinary.

However, these near-perfect, orthodox principles were difficult for Ying Zheng to comprehend.

After its transformation, the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, though still called the Great Dao, has actually been sublimated to a higher level.

For Ying Zheng, grasping its essence and integrating it into his own primordial Dao was still difficult at this moment. Therefore, he decided to start by studying the fundamental laws.

The myriad laws that exist here all originate from the various Great Daos.

As Ying Zheng entered a state of seclusion to comprehend the Dao, his Primordial Dao resonated with this space.

Countless profound laws flooded his mind. Time flowed slowly by, and Lingbao Tianzun, sensing the Primordial Dao condensed by Ying Zheng, felt a solemn expression in his eyes:

"This disciple truly lives up to his reputation as his reincarnation. After breaking free from the constraints of humanity, his astonishing talent is on full display. This Primordial Dao evolved from the chaos of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, making its characteristics exceptionally rare..."

At this moment, Ying Zheng was completely unaware that his master had seen through his secrets.

As Ying Zheng's mind was completely immersed in comprehending the laws, new laws were constantly being added to this Great Dao Treasury as he pondered them.

The birth of each new law signifies the emergence of a Great Luo Immortal. Ordinary worlds, from birth to destruction, may not necessarily give birth to a Great Luo Immortal.

It is evident how rare a Great Luo Immortal is, but this is not the case in the entire Chaos Sea, where Great Luo Immortals are frequently born and fall. This secret repository of the Great Dao of the Heavens, constructed by the Master and Senior Uncle through some unknown means, is able to autonomously replicate the laws of newly born Great Luo Immortals.

Although he did not understand the reasoning behind it, Ying Zheng eagerly devoured these newly discovered laws to comprehend them.

On this day, Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and felt that his own Hongmeng Dao had reached a fairly perfect state.

With the power of the Primordial Dao, it can even rival some profound Daos.

Although it is still difficult to compare with the Great Dao after the sublimation of Hunyuan Wuji, Ying Zheng believed that as long as he achieved Hunyuan, he would be able to catch up in time.

However, he never managed to take that step, always feeling that something was missing.

It is this sense of incompleteness that makes his foundation in Tao incomplete.

For Ying Zheng, who pursued perfection, such a situation was absolutely intolerable.

After all, if his Dao foundation is not perfected at this moment, it will take an unknown amount of effort and sacrifice to make up for it after he becomes a Great Luo. Therefore, he would rather not advance to the Great Luo realm for the time being.

Then, Ying Zheng gazed at this treasure trove of heavens and solemnly said, "It's time to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure was moved out of the hidden path.

Seeing that Lingbao Tianzun was still before him, Ying Zheng respectfully asked, "Master, I always feel that something is lacking."

Regarding Ying Zheng's current state, Lingbao Tianzun sighed softly, "I understand what you mean by 'missing.' Go to the Fire Cloud Cave in the Fire Cloud Great World, and you will know the answer. What is meant to come will come eventually."

Ying Zheng seemed to be deep in thought. The Fire Cloud Great World was a place where humanity flourished, and was even governed by humanity.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, along with the sages of the human race, resided here, making it a pure land for humanity.

But what is my connection with the Fire Cloud Great World?

Why does the name Huoyun Cave feel so familiar?

Just as Ying Zheng was about to press further, Lingbao Tianzun's figure had already vanished. Seeing this, Ying Zheng stopped searching.

He gazed at the twelve-petaled Creation Lotus floating before him, picked it up, refined it, and imprinted his divine soul mark upon it: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

He then turned and left with the top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Protected by the Twelve-Petal Creation Lotus, Ying Zheng headed towards the chariot that was parked outside the Yu Yu Heaven Great World.

Around the chariot, the four, including the Dark Celestial Venerable, still respectfully awaited Ying Zheng's return.

When their eyes met Ying Zheng's, they saw him approaching with lotus blossoms at every step—the symbol of the twelve-petaled Creation Lotus.

It is clearly a symbol of the Shangqing lineage traveling outside, just like the golden lotus of merit of the Buddhist lineage of Mount Sumeru.

Moreover, this is a twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus, which must be a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, such a noble mark.

Even among the direct disciples of the Jie Sect, not everyone could obtain such a position, which shows that this person was deeply favored by the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

Whether it was a misperception or not, they felt that Ying Zheng was showing off his sharp edge at this moment.

That vast aura was several times stronger than before, and just a single glance from it made them submit.

This shows just how terrifying Ying Zheng's strength is now. Yet, his visit to the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun at Biyou Palace resulted in such a significant improvement.

How could this be? My lord is truly exceptionally gifted!
Seeing Ying Zheng's solemn expression, they exchanged glances, not daring to utter a word. After Ying Zheng entered the carriage, he ordered in a deep voice, "To the Fire Cloud Great World!"

He then summoned the world coordinates left by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao within the Twelve-Petaled Creation Lotus. Guided by these coordinates,
The celestial steed, formed from the condensation of laws, galloped across the endless chaotic sea, heading straight for the Fiery Cloud Great World.

Ying Zheng gazed at the surging chaotic energy, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "What is my connection with the Fire Cloud Great World? Why are my master's words so profound? And why is Nuwa so close to me, even creating the Great Thousand World for me? All these things make me wonder if I am the reincarnation of some great being?"

If that were truly the case, it would be extremely difficult for Ying Zheng to accept.

Furthermore, if it is a reincarnation, the previous life must have been at least a Hunyuan Giant, which is impossible for Hunyuan Wuji.

Those beings have already reached the pinnacle, with no further advancement possible.

Before his reincarnation, he was connected to the Fire Cloud Great World, which was ruled by the human realm.

Could it be that in his previous life he was some kind of Primordial Chaos in the human realm?
If so, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are the most suspicious.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all powerful beings at the Hunyuan level, especially the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, the Earthly Sovereign Shennong, and the Human Sovereign Xuanyuan.

These three are even more senior beings in the Primordial Chaos, having been born since the beginning of the primordial era.

However, no one among the Three Sovereigns was known to have been reincarnated, and the reason for this was truly perplexing to Ying Zheng.

Just as Ying Zheng was deep in thought, the Styx Ancestor, far away in the Blood Sea Great World, had already sensed his location and slowly rose from the Sixteenth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

He said with a gloomy expression, "We've finally found your trail. Now that you've left the protection of Time-Space City, let's see where you can escape to!"

After he finished speaking, countless phantoms of the Blood God leaped out of the sea of ​​blood and merged into the body of the Styx Ancestor.

As the Blood God Child continued to merge, the Styx Ancestor's aura grew increasingly terrifying. This sea of ​​blood could almost be considered his clone.

Each drop of blood is a Blood God Child, and only when all Blood God Children are gathered together can the Styx Ancestor be in its complete state.

Although the Styx Ancestor relied on the Blood Sea Great World and seemed not to care about the previous losses, the lost face was unbearable and had to be regained.

That brat must perish to truly demonstrate the terrifying power of the Blood Sea and the Styx River.

The crimson light burst forth from the Blood Sea World in an instant, traversing the endless chaos, leaving behind only wisps of blood mist filled with ferocity, carrying countless negative rules and powers, but it was quickly eroded and dissipated by the chaotic energy.

Although the Fire Cloud Great World is a human territory, it gathers almost all of the human power, and the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and eight Hunyuan-level powerhouses are all vassals of the human world.

When the eight of them join forces, they can even unleash a trace of the immense power of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Therefore, the human race has occupied this realm and has not been coveted by other forces.

Even so, after discussions among the ancient sages of the Fire Cloud Cave, the eternal coordinates of the Fire Cloud Great World were still not opened.

Ordinary Grandmasters and Primordial Giants cannot enter this realm unless they are invited.

Ying Zheng, who had been pondering all the way, shook his head helplessly: "There's no point in thinking about it now. Everything will become clear when we reach the Fire Cloud Great World."

Just then, Ying Zheng suddenly felt an overwhelming crimson radiance sweeping in, a blood sea avenue filled with countless negative forces such as ferocity and destructive power.

In a daze, one could see the ferocious phantom of the Styx Ancestor, formed from condensed blood: "Styx Ancestor, are you still resentful after your defeat last time, and have come here to provoke us? You truly lack the demeanor of a Primordial Dao Lord!"

"We cultivators seek only to do as we please, without any scruples. You offended me that day, and if I don't retaliate, I will never be able to swallow this insult! Enough talk, take my sword!"

The Styx Ancestor's gaze was sinister, wielding the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords. The sword energy of the two innate treasures merged, forming an incomparably sharp sword light, amplified by the power of the Blood Sea Dao. With a single strike, the image of annihilating all living beings appeared. (End of Chapter)
