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

"The different realms and stages I mentioned are only based on my own path and realm. They may not apply to you. In fact, I am not sure whether telling you this will be beneficial or detrimental to your cultivation. You need to consider this for yourself."

"If you want to know, I can share my understanding with you. If you don't want to know, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fanti Tianzun's words made Ying Zheng and others feel conflicted.

"I want to know." Ying Zheng spoke first.

His way of cultivation was different from others. Others practiced step by step, but he relied on the system to break through.

Therefore, for Ying Zheng, knowing or not knowing did not affect him much. In contrast, he wanted to satisfy his curiosity more.

Moreover, Ying Zheng wanted to try and see if this could bring some changes to the system.

"I want to know too." Shi Mang hesitated for a moment and finally said.

"I have a vague understanding of what Your Excellency said. I also roughly know where my own path lies, but the more this happens, the more I want to know how Your Excellency understands it." Shi Mang said.

"I want to know too." Nuwa also spoke.

She achieved the Supreme Primordial Being by refining the Seal of Samsara.

After achieving enlightenment, she fell into confusion for a short period of time and didn't know how to move forward.

Now that she had the chance to know the path after becoming the Supreme, she naturally didn't want to miss it.

"We want to know too." Youhan and Jiulu finally said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, then I will tell you some of my insights." Vati Tianzun nodded.

"Hunyuan Supreme, from my personal perspective, my cultivation path should be divided into three stages. The first stage is to gain power! That is, to achieve the status of Hunyuan Supreme, comprehend the great trend, and make your words come true. This is the first step to break free from the shackles of the Hongmeng Universe and have your own independent order!"

"The five of you are basically all at this stage. At this stage, everyone's cultivation situation is roughly the same."

"Then comes the second stage, independence! That is to completely break free from the restrictions of the Hongmeng Universe! At this stage, you will begin to truly break free from the constraints and shackles of the order of the Hongmeng Universe."

"When you reach that level, all common sense will no longer apply. It's hard for me to describe that feeling in words."

"However, if I have to describe it, I think the two of you have vaguely touched the edge of that realm." Fanti Tianzun stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi Mang and Ying Zheng respectively.

"That's why I say that my experience may not be completely applicable to you."

"You are between the first stage and the second stage." Fanti Tianzun looked at Shi Mang and said.

"As for you, you are using force to prove your truth, which is even more special. Using force to prove your truth, strictly speaking, is not an orthodox path of cultivation, but a side path. It is difficult for me to provide you with any specific reference or suggestions, but I have seen some great people who also use force to prove their truth."

"Most of them still choose to constantly temper their bodies and improve their combat effectiveness! As the saying goes, one strength can defeat ten skills. As long as the combat power is strong enough, it can turn decay into magic. How to do it specifically depends on your own understanding. But the general direction is this." Fanti Tianzun turned to Ying Zheng and said.

After listening to the words of Fanti Tianzun, Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

The words of Brahma gave him great inspiration!
He seemed to have made a misunderstanding before.

All along, he has been struggling to pursue the path of cultivation after becoming the Supreme.

But at this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to Ying Zheng's mind!
Why did he do this?

There doesn't seem to be much point in doing this!

In contrast, there was a ready-made path right in front of him!

The Cosmic Furnace Technique that he was currently practicing had only reached the third level! As far as he knew, the Cosmic Furnace Technique could reach up to the fourth level!
Isn't this the direction he should continue to move forward? As long as he cultivates the Cosmic Furnace Technique to the fourth level, his realm will naturally break through!

However, Ying Zheng currently has no idea how to break through to the fourth level of the Cosmic Furnace.

However, although he still had no clue, at least he was no longer confused.

He had just been thinking too much.

In fact, he didn't need to think so much. He just needed to continue practicing the Universe Baking Furnace Technique!
The Cosmic Furnace Technique is his one and only smooth road!
"What is the third stage like?" Shi Mang asked again.

"The third stage is just my guess, because I myself have not yet reached that level." said Fanti Tianzun.

"I call that stage perfection. This stage is actually not directly connected to the second stage. Because the third stage is measured purely from the perspective of combat power. Perfection is flawless and the level of achievement is determined purely by strength," explained Lord Fanti.

"In fact, to prove the truth with force is, to some extent, equivalent to moving directly from the first stage to the third stage."

"Senior, I have met two people before." At this time, Ying Zheng couldn't help but interrupt.

"They give me a very similar feeling. I don't know if this is the second stage of the Primordial Supreme that the seniors mentioned."

"Let me hear you talk about it." Vati Tianzun nodded slightly, motioning Ying Zheng to continue.

"One of them just sat there quietly, but the space and time of the entire realm seemed to have lost their meaning. Only desolation and coldness remained. Yes, it seemed that only these two concepts remained in the world. She sat in the dojo without moving, but the other Supreme, who was quite powerful, couldn't even walk up to her."

"There is another person. When I fought with him barehandedly without using the Hongmeng treasure, he seemed to be able to change the order of time and space. It was very strange." Ying Zheng said.

What he was talking about was naturally Binghan Juezun and Kunsheng.

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the first person is extremely powerful and has definitely reached the second stage, and may even be close to the third stage. And the person behind him has probably just entered the second stage."

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.

Now, he finally understood what was going on.

"Then senior, how can we reach the second stage, or even the third stage?" Jiulu asked again.

"I cannot teach you this. You need to practice and comprehend it by yourselves. This is what I said before, it can only be understood, not expressed in words!" said Brahma Tianzun.

"Oh, I see." Jiulu felt a little embarrassed and regretful.

"Oh, senior." Ying Zheng seemed to remember something, and he took out the Great Slaughtering Divine Halberd.

"This item was obtained by me in the Great Array Life Gate, and now it is returned to its original owner." He said, holding the Great Slaughtering Divine Halberd.

This thing is not simple. But since it belongs to Fanti Tianzun and he is still alive, it is natural to return it.

Shi Mang also took out a large seal. It seemed that it was the treasure he got in the Death Gate Formation.

However, facing the actions of Ying Zheng and Shi Mang, Fanti Tianzun waved his hand and said, "You can keep these two things. They are also a small gift for you to come here."

"But..." Ying Zheng said subconsciously.

But before he could finish, Fanti Tianzun smiled and said, "You don't think I'm short of treasures, do you?" "Don't worry, I don't have many opportunities to use the Great Slaughter Divine Halberd and the Mysterious Origin Treasure Seal. I have other treasures to use. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used them to suppress the Gate of Life and Death."

“This…” Ying Zheng and Shi Mang looked at each other and both bowed to Fanti Tianzun and thanked him: “Thank you, Tianzun!”

Brahma is indeed a good person.

Ying Zheng and his men broke through the formation and entered. Not only were they not troubled, but they got answers to their questions and confusions from him, and were also given treasures as gifts.

From these aspects, Ying Zheng couldn't help but respect this old senior from the ancient world.

In the temple of Vati Tianzun, Ying Zheng and his friends chatted with him for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving.

Before leaving, Ying Zheng and his companions also asked Fanti Tianzun whether he would go to the Source Realm, but he refused.

"I am the star master of the Suzaku Taizun star field, and this is my dojo. All my disciples died here. I can't bear to leave them. Besides, I am half dead now, and it is not convenient for me to go out. It is better for me to stay here and continue practicing. When one day I truly reverse death and be reborn, that will be the time when I have achieved great success in my Taoism, and I will go out to seek revenge on that thief!" said Fanti Tianzun.

Fanti Tianzun was unwilling to leave, so Ying Zheng and the others could not force him, so they had to say goodbye and leave.

After coming out of the Taoist temple of Brahma, Ying Zheng and his companions returned along the same route.

As a result, halfway through the journey, they encountered the corpse monster transformed by Chang Yanzi!
Unlike before, it now seemed to be wandering aimlessly, like a walking corpse, and its appearance was both terrifying and pitiful.

Chang Yanzi was once a proud disciple of Hongluo Xianzun and was very famous.
But now, he is dead and nothing but an empty shell remains, and this shell is pieced together and in disarray.

Because they had encountered this before, Ying Zheng and his companions were extra careful when they returned along the same route. Ying Zheng used the Jade Disc of Creation to conceal their aura in advance.

In this way, the corpse monster transformed by Chang Yanzi would naturally not be able to detect their existence.

"What is it doing?" Ying Zheng and others hid in the dark, spying on the corpse monster.

I saw the corpse wandering around, seemingly without any purpose.

"Don't worry about it, let's go back quickly." Jiulu said with some fear.

Every time he saw this corpse monster, he felt creepy.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.

But at this moment, the corpse monster suddenly shouted loudly: "This time I will preach the great way of creation! Creation is to ride on the vitality of primordial chaos..."

It shouted so loudly that it actually caused the road to shake, and the golden lotuses around it fell one after another.

"It's preaching?!" Ying Zheng and others were all stunned.

"Although Chang Yanzi is dead, there are still some memories left in his body. These memories are controlling him." Shi Mang said solemnly, "It is imitating what happened in his memory."

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded slightly to show his agreement.

But then he said, "Daoyou, I have an idea, but I don't know whether I should say it."

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speak." Shi Mang responded.

"I want to take it back." Ying Zheng said.

"What?! Your Majesty, are you crazy?!" Jiulu was startled and said subconsciously.

But then he realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. But this corpse monster has lost its intelligence, and what it does now is only influenced by its past memories!"

"Even if you bring it back, you can't bring it back to life! Chang Yanzi is different from Fanti Tianzun! What's more, Tianzun was not completely dead in the first place, he was just between life and death."

"Are you scared?" Ying Zheng asked Jiulu.

"Yes, I was a little scared." Jiulu admitted honestly.

"If you are afraid, go into my little world." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant." Jiu Lu quickly added, "I just think that we don't need to take the risk of catching a corpse monster without intelligence."

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you." Ying Zheng comforted, "I also know that it is just a shell. But I just want to give it a try."

"Everything has spirits, even stones can be spiritual and change shape, so can the corpse monster awaken its spirit? If the corpse monster really awakens its spirit, who is it? Is it Chang Yanzi, or a completely new person?"

“I just wanted to give it a try.”

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Jiulu was so shocked that he was speechless.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.

Shi Mang could not help but exclaimed: "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng's idea is really... really beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"

"What do you think?" Ying Zheng looked at Shi Mang again and asked.

Shi Mang hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can give it a try!"

"Okay!" Ying Zheng nodded.

"My Hongmeng Glazed Tower can capture it! It's just a corpse monster, with great power but no intelligence. As long as I capture it, even if it turns the Hongmeng Glazed Tower upside down, it can't escape!"

"But the prerequisite is that we have to knock down all the Hongmeng treasures in its hand first! Otherwise, if it brings the Hongmeng treasures into my Hongmeng Glazed Tower and bombards it randomly, if it really destroys the Hongmeng Glazed Tower, then I will suffer a great loss!" Ying Zheng said.

"That's true." Shi Mang nodded in agreement.

Whether there is the Hongmeng treasure or not are two completely different concepts.

What's more, some of the Hongmeng treasures possess mysterious powers.

Even if the corpse monster is allowed to enter the Hongmeng Glazed Tower with many Hongmeng treasures, it may not be possible to trap it.

"At present, it has a total of six Hongmeng treasures. As for whether there are other Hongmeng treasures hidden, it is unknown." Shi Mang said.

"In short, let's find a way to knock down the six Hongmeng treasures in its hands first! Knock these six down first. If it still has other Hongmeng treasures hidden, it will probably take them out. Then we will find a way to deal with them." Ying Zheng said.

"That's exactly the truth." Shi Mang said.

"If you tame this corpse monster, you can get six Hongmeng treasures. I think it's a good deal." Youhan said.

Jiulu also looked at the Hongmeng treasure in the corpse monster's hand with envy.

"There are six Hongmeng treasures. Daoyou takes three and we take three." Ying Zheng said. (End of this chapter)
