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

The difference in cultivation between the two is so great that it is almost like heaven and earth.

With such an astonishing difference in cultivation, it was impossible for him to defeat Ying Zheng, let alone escape from him. Naturally, he could only behave himself, and perhaps he would have a chance to save his life.

"What are you doing in our ancient world?" Ying Zheng asked the hunchbacked old Taoist.

"Your Excellency, I have come here to look for the Chaos Pearl, the greatest treasure of Chaos, in compliance with the order of Patriarch Wujie." The hunchbacked Taoist answered honestly.

"Who is Ancestor Wujie?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

Faced with Ying Zheng's questioning, the hunchbacked old Taoist still did not dare to hide the truth and answered quickly.

From the hunchbacked Taoist's answer, Ying Zheng quickly learned a lot about the Source Realm.

A long, long time ago, countless times ago, there was a Hongmeng world in this universe.

This Hongmeng world is the center of the universe, the source of all Taoism, and the holy land that all practitioners yearn for.

But one day, for unknown reasons, the Hongmeng World was broken. The breaking of the Hongmeng World triggered a terrible disaster, and the terrifying void torrent swallowed up everything. In the universe, countless large and small worlds that depended on the Hongmeng World suffered a devastating blow and were swallowed up in the void chaos.

In an instant, countless lives were reduced to ashes.

And in the Hongmeng world, those powerful beings with profound cultivation could not escape the calamity either.

Countless powerful beings who had practiced for eternity died in the catastrophe when the Hongmeng world collapsed!
Only a very few people survived, and the hunchbacked Taoist priest was one of them.

The source world, which originally belonged to the Hongmeng world level, collapsed and decomposed into countless small fragments.

Most of the small fragments were swallowed up by the void chaos, and a few turned into big and small worlds and floated in the chaos.

The largest fragment among them is the current source world.

In the current Source Realm, there are a total of five people with the highest cultivation and status. It is said that it was the five of them working together to preserve the fragments of the Source Realm.

However, the hunchbacked old Taoist didn't know the appearance or Taoist names of these five people, because he had never seen what they looked like before.

"You said you have never seen those five people, let alone know what they look like or what their Taoist names are?!" Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at the hunchbacked old Taoist with a somewhat suspicious look.

"It is absolutely true! Please rest assured, I have no reason to deceive you." The hunchbacked Taoist priest quickly explained, "The five source masters are unfathomable, and their level of cultivation is beyond our comprehension. It is said that at their level, they have penetrated the true meaning of the universe, and their own existence is incredible."

"They may exist, or they may not exist. It is hard to describe, just like the mysterious truth that flowers are not flowers and fog is not fog." The hunchbacked old Taoist explained.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "I will trust you for now."

Although he said this, Ying Zheng knew in his heart that the hunchbacked Taoist priest was not lying, and he was able to discern that clearly.

Then, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked, "So, the Wujie Patriarch who sent you here is not one of the five people?"

"No, absolutely not." The hunchbacked old Taoist shook his head repeatedly like a rattle.

"Ancestor Wujie is just a supreme being in the Supreme Palace." The hunchbacked old Taoist explained.

"In the Source Realm, as long as one's Taoism breaks through the Primordial Supreme Realm, one can enter the Supreme Palace, become a Taoist ancestor, and inherit the Taoist tradition."

"There are now a total of 103 Supreme Beings in the Source Realm, and Ancestor Wujie is among the Supreme Beings, just ranked at the bottom."

"Because the five Source Lords never ask about worldly affairs and never show up, no one knows their whereabouts. Therefore, the order of the Source Realm is maintained by the Supreme Palace. The Supreme Lords have extremely high power and status."

"You mean, Ancestor Wujie is a giant in the Source Realm, but not the top one?" Ying Zheng asked.

The hunchbacked Taoist nodded, "You can say that."

After that, the hunchbacked Taoist smiled awkwardly again and said to Ying Zheng cautiously, "From my point of view, even if you haven't truly achieved the supreme Dao fruit, I'm afraid you have already stepped half a foot into that door."

"With your cultivation, even if you reach the Origin Realm, you will be able to enter the palace and become a patriarch..."

"Haha." Before the hunchbacked old Taoist finished his words, Ying Zheng sneered.

"You mean, sending you here was just the idea of ​​ancestor Wujie, and it has nothing to do with the other supreme beings in the source world, or even the entire source world? And you are willing to surrender now?"

"As long as you are willing to spare my life, I will be your disciple in your temple from now on and let you do whatever you want with me!" The hunchbacked old Taoist hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"You betrayed Patriarch Wujie so readily, aren't you afraid that he will come after you in the future?" Ying Zheng looked down at the hunchbacked old Taoist with a half-smile.

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid!" The hunchbacked Taoist said tremblingly, "Ancestor Wujie is cruel and ruthless, stubborn and self-willed. He will kill or destroy anyone who disobeys him or fails to do his job. If he knew that I betrayed him, he would certainly not let me go."

"But I, the old Taoist, know better. If I don't know what's best for me today, I will have no choice but to die!" said the hunchbacked old Taoist with a wry smile.

He saw very clearly that Ying Zheng had harbored murderous intentions towards him from the beginning to the end!
If he doesn't find a way to save himself, he will be dead when Ying Zheng has asked enough questions.

The only way for him to survive was to surrender to Ying Zheng.

"Hahaha! Quite interesting." Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he quietly restrained the pressure he was emitting.

Without the pressure and suppression of Ying Zheng, the hunchbacked old Taoist priest's originally tense body suddenly collapsed to the ground.

He took two deep breaths, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and quickly thanked Ying Zheng, "Thank you for not killing me! I am willing to serve you in the future!"

"Forget about the service." Ying Zheng waved his hand. "You are talking in a cheesy way. I feel uncomfortable listening to you."

"Please sit down." Ying Zheng said again.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chair appeared behind the hunchbacked old Taoist priest.

The hunchbacked old Taoist looked back, thanked Ying Zheng again, and then did not forget to say hello to the ancestor Hongjun before sitting down on the chair.

"Tell me everything about Ancestor Wujie. By the way, except for Ancestor Wujie, no other supreme beings from the source world participated in your visit, right?" Ying Zheng asked.

"No." The hunchbacked old Taoist shook his head. "Don't worry, sir. The Source Realm is vast and boundless, with various forces entrenched. Most of the masters in the Source Realm are in their own areas and rarely interact with each other. Even if there is interaction, it is just personal friendship and has nothing to do with the Source Realm as a whole."

"If I must say, although the Source Realm is now just a large fragment, it is still the source of the Tao and the beginning of all realms in this chaotic universe. As long as you have the strength, anyone can go to the Source Realm, and even enter the palace to be respected and dominate. The Source Realm will not prevent anyone from leaving, and no force can represent the Source Realm."

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.

He already understood that the Source Realm was not a unified force, but a large free world.

The Supremes in the Source Realm all act independently.

For example, seizing the Chaos Pearl and the Primordial World is only the personal ambition of Ancestor Wujie and has nothing to do with the Source Realm as a whole.

After learning this, some of the doubts in Ying Zheng's heart suddenly became clear. Such a huge entity as the Source Realm actually coveted the treasures of the prehistoric world. This itself was as incredible as the Heavenly Court coveting some treasures and territory in the mortal world.

If it was just Patriarch Wujie's personal purpose, then it could be understood.

In this way, Ying Zheng only needs to deal with the forces of Ancestor Wujie.

No wonder there was no movement from the Source Realm after he killed the Demon Lord. It took a full 20,000 years before they sent the hunchbacked old Taoist priest to come.

In Ying Zheng's original expectation, he thought that there might be a supreme master coming to deal with him personally, or even more than one supreme master coming. For this reason, Ying Zheng has made a lot of preparations over the years.

He even had plans to take over the entire prehistoric world and run away if the enemy was too powerful and he couldn't win.

Now, things are clearly looking much better.

If we were just dealing with Ancestor Wujie, things would be much simpler.

Ying Zheng is not afraid of anything, just the old ancestor Wujie, who is at the bottom of the list among all the masters in the Source Realm!

"Tell me about the situation of Ancestor Wujie." Ying Zheng said.

"Ancestor Wujie ranks low in the Supreme Palace, but I don't know his specific level. He has a great treasure in his hand, called the Chaos Thousand Chance Umbrella, which can capture the heaven and earth and reverse the world. It has infinite power."

"Wujie Palace has many disciples. In addition, there are some masters who work for him and are protected by him. I am one of them. However, with your ability, these people are naturally nothing to be afraid of."

"Your Excellency should pay attention. Ancestor Wujie has two close friends, both of whom are masters of the Supreme Hunyuan realm. One of them is called..." The hunchbacked old Taoist told him everything he knew like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"I understand." Ying Zheng nodded. He now basically knew what he wanted to know.

"Oh, I have another question." Ying Zheng suddenly felt confused again, "After the Demon Lord died, why did it take 20,000 years for Patriarch Wujie to send you here? Why didn't he come here himself?"

Ying Zheng was indeed a little confused about this.

"Well, this is actually very simple." The hunchbacked old Taoist explained naturally, "Although the Source Realm is just a large fragment left after the Hongmeng World was shattered, it cannot be compared with the original Hongmeng World, but even so, the current Source Realm is extremely huge."

"The world you live in is just the beginning of a larger world. If it can really grow, the size of this world will probably expand ten thousand times more."

"As for the Origin Realm, even billions of mature worlds combined are probably not as good as a corner of the Origin Realm. For the Origin Realm, a large world is at most just a leaf on a towering tree."

"Although the Origin Realm is large, it is full of many Supreme Beings. Some of these Supreme Beings had already achieved enlightenment before the Origin Realm was destroyed, while others only achieved enlightenment after the destruction of the Origin Realm. Some, like you, became Supreme Beings after they cultivated in the void chaos outside the Origin Realm or in a certain large world, and then went to the Origin Realm."

"In short, the power of the various supreme beings is complicated. Who can cultivate to the supreme being without great perseverance, great wisdom, and great opportunity? They are simply rare talents in the chaotic universe. At this level, how could they be willing to be inferior to others?"

"Supreme, Supreme, the highest, all things submit! Without the belief of standing proudly in the chaos, it is impossible to cultivate to become a Supreme, control the great power, be admired by all the worlds, and make your words follow your will!"

"In the Source Realm, the Supreme Beings each have their own territory and generally do not invade each other. But nothing is absolute. The Supreme Beings each have their own sects, and with a sect there are subordinates and disciples. In addition, when it comes to cultivation, resources are particularly important."

"In the Source Realm, although resources are extremely abundant, no one can have too much of a good thing. Therefore, it is common for various forces to fight against each other. The Supreme Beings often condone the fights between disciples. Sometimes, when the fight gets serious, even Supreme Beings from different forces will fight each other."

"Although there are many subordinates and disciples at the level of Hunyuan Dao Saints under the command of Ancestor Wujie, the Demon Lord is considered to be one of the more outstanding ones. Moreover, when he was born, he was accompanied by a Hongmeng spiritual treasure, the Demon Sword."

"There are very few people with higher cultivation than him, above the eighth level of the Great Saint of the Primordial Dao, and most of them have their own missions, needing to guard various places and clamp down on other forces. Many of the rest are also in seclusion for cultivation. I just came out of seclusion not long ago."

"As for Patriarch Wujie himself, if he leaves the Source Realm, other forces will definitely notice it and attack one after another. And once he leaves, the news of the Chaos Pearl will be hidden."

“Although the Chaos Pearl is only a Chaos Treasure, it is rumored that there are multiple Chaos Pearls, and different Chaos Pearls can be stored and fused. There has always been a rumor in the Origin Realm that if all Chaos Pearls can be collected, a new Hongmeng World can be created!”

"Although this is just a legend, there are indeed many Supreme Beings in the Origin Realm who are secretly collecting Chaos Pearls. And once a Chaos Pearl appears, the Supreme Beings from all sides of the Origin Realm will often try every means to get it."

"Sometimes, for a Chaos Pearl, many powerful people will fight to the death!"

"The news that a Chaos Pearl has appeared in your prehistoric world is something that Old Ancestor Wujie naturally doesn't want to leak. If other Supreme Beings really knew about it, things would be troublesome."

"So that's how it is." Ying Zheng nodded, feeling relieved immediately.

No wonder the Demon Lord, who already possesses the Hongmeng Spirit Treasure Demon Sword, is so concerned about the Chaos Pearl. Even a supreme being like Wujie Patriarch desires to obtain this item.

However, if the news about the Chaos Pearl leaks out and other Supreme Beings in the Source Realm know about it, there will probably be a lot of people coming to snatch it.

If it really comes to that, things will probably become even more difficult.

Fortunately, Ancestor Wujie will definitely not leak the information about the Chaos Pearl.

"You will stay here for a while." Ying Zheng said to the hunchbacked old Taoist.

"Yes, sir." The hunchbacked old Taoist replied hastily, feeling completely relieved.

What Ying Zheng said meant that he would not take his life.

"By the way, what is your Taoist name?" Ying Zheng asked the hunchbacked old Taoist again.

"My Taoist name is Bai Luo. I am a mole cricket in the Origin Realm who attained enlightenment. I became a saint before the destruction of the Origin Realm and luckily survived the destruction. Now my Taoist practice is at the tenth level of the Hunyuan Great Dao Saint!" replied the hunchbacked old Taoist.

"The tenth level of Saint of Hunyuan Dao, haha, the same as me." Ying Zheng chuckled.

He said this lightly, but when Taoist Bailu heard it, his eyes widened and he looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief, as if he was questioning whether he was lying.

"Why would I lie to you? My current cultivation level is indeed the tenth level of the Great Saint of Hunyuan." Ying Zheng said casually.

In the thousands of years since the fifth level of the Hongmeng Glazed Tower was opened, Ying Zheng's cultivation has indeed only improved by two small realms, from the eighth level of the Hunyuan Great Dao Sage to the tenth level.

The reason why he only improved two small realms was because the communication points required for the breakthrough to the late stage of the Hunyuan Great Dao Saint increased exponentially.

To break through the eighth level, the required breakthrough points are only 300 billion.

The breakthrough points needed to break through the ninth level have reached 3 trillion! Converted into exchange points and faith points, it is 30 billion!
As for breaking through the tenth level and reaching the eleventh level, it would require tens of trillions of breakthrough points! If converted into communication points and faith points, it would be one hundred billion!

At the rate at which he was gaining communication points and faith points now, it would take thousands of years to accumulate enough.

However, compared to other people who practiced hard bit by bit, it was incredible that Ying Zheng was able to break through in just thousands of years.

To a saint, a thousand years is but the blink of an eye.

And for the Great Saint of Hunyuan Dao, or even the Supreme Being of Hunyuan Dao, what is a thousand years? Ten thousand years is just a brief moment.

Like the Taoist Bai Luo, he attained enlightenment before the Source Realm was shattered, and until now, countless kalpas have passed since the Source Realm was shattered, and he has only cultivated to the tenth level of the Hunyuan Great Dao Saint.

Compared with Ying Zheng, his cultivation speed is like one person driving a tractor while the other is driving a spaceship that can jump. (End of this chapter)
