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

"You mean..." Immortal Venerable Hongluo couldn't help but ask Ying Zheng.

“That’s right. Once you enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm, as long as you can achieve some breakthroughs within it, you will likely have already overcome the shackles of the Primordial Emperor and attained the cultivation level of the Primordial Emperor upon your emergence,” Ying Zheng said.

"The Canglan Illusionary Realm is a sacred cultivation ground that all powerful beings in the entire Canglan Universe dream of!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Hongluo and the others were undoubtedly moved.

"It's not that easy!" At the crucial moment, Ice Cold Venerable also shouted.

"The Canglan Illusionary Realm is not as wonderful as you imagine. Cultivation is impossible there; the only way to increase your strength is through plunder and slaughter! When you kill other beings in the Canglan Illusionary Realm, a portion of their power will flow into your body, becoming your asset. But just as much, you will also become prey for others!"

"People at our level, how could we possibly kill anyone once we're inside? Forget about dealing with others, we probably couldn't even beat a chicken; we'd probably get killed instead!"

"Moreover, to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm, one must possess an Illusionary Realm Spirit Orb! This thing is a rare treasure even in my hometown! One Illusionary Realm Spirit Orb can only allow one person to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm. If others want to use it, they must wait for the previous person to come out. Moreover, once the user dies in the Canglan Illusionary Realm, the Illusionary Realm Spirit Orb they possess will be lost."

"To put it bluntly, unless we sell our entire Hongmeng Universe, we simply cannot afford the Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearl."

The words of the Ice Cold Supreme left the other Supremes looking at each other in bewilderment.

This time, Ying Zheng and Binghan Juezun clearly disagreed.

After hesitating for a moment, Immortal Venerable Hongluo finally spoke, saying, "Never mind all that. The matter of our Hongmeng Universe applying to join the Universe Alliance is now a done deal. The most urgent task is to gather Supreme Venerable Hongdu and Fellow Daoist Wuxuan and inform them of this matter."

"Hmm." All the venerable ones nodded slightly.

"That's a good suggestion," Ying Zheng nodded.

His decision to make such a major decision without consulting the other leaders was indeed excessive.

But things didn't turn out the way Binghan Juezun and the others imagined.

Ying Zheng had already planned to apply for the Cosmic Alliance on behalf of the Hongmeng Universe.

Moreover, he did not contact the Canglan Universe Alliance from the beginning.

In fact, Ying Zheng first used the Celestial Tower of the Universe more than 300 million years ago. At that time, he made contact with a transdimensional merchant.

In the years that followed, Ying Zheng maintained contact with this interdimensional merchant, selling him many things and buying many items from him.

It was with the help of this interdimensional merchant that Ying Zheng was able to successfully contact the Canglan Universe Alliance!
Meanwhile, over these four hundred million years, Ying Zheng spread the divine network throughout the entire Origin Realm. With the help of an astonishing number of exchange points, his cultivation continued to increase at an explosive rate!

For Ying Zheng, breaking through to a higher realm was never a difficult task.

As long as there are no limitations on cultivation level, and no situation like the Hunyuan realm where no amount of breakthrough points can be used to further improve cultivation, Ying Zheng can continuously use breakthrough points to break through realms at an astonishing speed!

Four hundred million years have passed, and the current Ying Zheng is no longer the same person who had just broken through to the Hunyuan Emperor realm. His true strength now is simply unfathomable and beyond imagination.

"Hmm?!" Suddenly, Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow and a smile curved his lips. "Looks like the main character has arrived!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, at that moment, all the supreme beings of the Crimson Luo Immortal Palace could feel an extremely terrifying divine thought that came from nowhere, instantly sweeping across the entire Hongmeng Universe and finally settling on the Origin Realm.

An unbearable pressure descended, causing not only the Crimson Luo Immortal Palace but also all the Primordial Supremes of the entire Origin Realm to experience a kind of illusion.

It was as if they were ants living in a crystal ball, and suddenly, an eye outside the crystal ball looked at them!

Those were beings on a level far above them, countless levels higher.

If the various deities of the primordial universe still had the courage to fight to the death in the face of the Great Creator God, then in the face of this being, they could not even muster the thought of resistance.

Even an ant facing an elephant might have the arrogance to fight back desperately.

It's even possible that a large number of ants could kill an elephant.

But how can an ant resist an omniscient and omnipotent god?
Fear! Trembling! An indescribable panic spread wildly through the hearts of all the Venerable Ones of the Primordial Universe. At this moment, they were all in despair, unable to think of any way to resist.

"Ying Zheng?" At that moment, this divine thought spread throughout the entire Origin Realm, the voice making no attempt to conceal its presence.

"He knows about Emperor Ying Zheng?!" All the Venerables of the Hongmeng Universe were stunned.

The next moment, a powerful divine thought, surpassing their imagination and understanding, also rose from within the Origin Realm: "Lord Jianan! Welcome! Welcome!"

"Haha!" With a hearty laugh, a figure entered the Primordial Universe, and then in one step he crossed to the Origin Realm, appearing directly in the Crimson Luo Immortal Domain!
The figure was dressed in a magnificent robe, with flowing hair and a gentle demeanor. Four golden stars shone brightly on the robe.

He descended upon the Crimson Luo Immortal Realm and bowed directly to Ying Zheng, seemingly ignoring everyone else.

Perhaps he didn't really not see them; it's just that in his eyes, they were a group of ants, and whether he saw them or not made no difference.

"Your Excellency Jia Nan, I am deeply grateful for your long journey. Please come inside for a chat," Ying Zheng greeted him warmly.

"Hmm." The man smiled and nodded slightly.

Immediately, he stepped into the Immortal Palace, and the Red Luo Immortal Venerable and others quickly made way for him.

Only then did he finally glance at Immortal Venerable Hongluo and the others, and said indifferently, "Your Hongmeng Universe is really not very good. I have checked it out and there is not even a single being that has broken through to the universe level."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ying Zheng, "Brother Ye, you should be aware of the rules of the alliance. A colonist or plunderer like you from an advanced civilization, whose civilization was established in the native universe, cannot participate in the evaluation, much less join the alliance."

"I apologize for making a fool of myself, Your Excellency," Ying Zheng said with an awkward smile. "But I am not a colonizer or plunderer of any advanced civilization. I am indeed a being of this primordial universe."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the man smiled and shook his head.

Clearly, he didn't believe Ying Zheng's words. In his view, it was simply a pipe dream for an ordinary, nascent universe to give birth to an existence like Ying Zheng solely through its own development, without any other interfering factors.

He had lived a long life and had never seen such an exception.

The appearance of beings of a higher cosmic level in a nascent universe can only mean one thing: that these beings must originate from another advanced universe. Within the cosmic realm, it is not uncommon for beings from advanced cosmic civilizations to leave their own universes and colonize nascent universes.

Especially when advanced cosmic civilizations face the crisis of extinction, they often activate pre-prepared methods to send their civilization's seeds to lower-level cosmic civilizations in hopes of rising again.

The Ice Cold Supreme is such an example.

However, she ultimately abandoned her mission and chose to live as a being in the Hongmeng Universe.

“Brother Ye, the rules of the alliance are there. If you insist on saying that you are a native being of the Hongmeng Universe, that’s simple. As long as you cultivate the path that is unique to the Hongmeng Universe and not something from other universes or civilizations, then the Hongmeng Universe can recognize you,” said Executive Priest Ganan.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded. "I know. Don't worry, I am indeed cultivating a path unique to the Hongmeng Universe. Moreover, I am also a pioneer of a new realm of cultivation in this universe."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the expression of the executive priest of Jianan slightly tightened, and an exceptionally vast divine sense emanated from his body.

The sheer power of that divine thought seemed capable of bursting the entire primordial universe!

His divine sense swept over Ying Zheng, then quickly withdrew, and he looked at Ying Zheng with a strange expression, "Brother Ye, why are you doing this?"

"Given your background, if you had simply cultivated the paths pioneered by other advanced civilizations, you would probably have reached level four or higher by now. Yet you insist on following the path of this native civilization, even trying to open up new realms on your own. It's a complete waste of time and utterly pointless," the Executive Priest of Ganan said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng awkwardly rubbed his nose and then said, "Never mind whether I'm being silly or not, just tell me if the verification will be approved?"

"It can be approved." The executive priest, Ganan, nodded with some helplessness.

"So, does this mean that our Hongmeng Universe has joined the Canglan Universe Alliance?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

“Yes.” Executive Priest Ganan nodded. “I will incorporate your cosmic coordinates into the Cosmic Star Map. The Hongmeng Universe will also be included in the Alliance’s vigilance range. Once you are invaded, the Cosmic Alliance will warn the enemy immediately. If the enemy ignores the warning, the Cosmic Alliance will also dispatch a dedicated executive priest!”

"At the same time, as a member of the Canglan Universe Alliance, you will be entitled to a seat at the highest meeting of the Canglan Universe Alliance, as well as many other rights. I will explain these rights in detail and send them to you later."

"However, with rights come obligations. After joining the Canglan Universe Alliance, your Hongmeng Universe must unconditionally submit to the rule of the Canglan Universe Alliance. Once the Alliance issues a mission, you must participate in its completion. In addition, every 10 billion years, you will need to pay a fee commensurate with your assessed level!"

“The relevant fees will be collected by a special executive officer every 10 billion years in the Hongmeng Universe. If you do not pay, you will be deemed to have automatically relinquished your membership in the alliance and will lose all corresponding rights.”

“I know all of that.” Ying Zheng nodded.

"Since you have confirmed it, the contract is now completely complete. Based on my assessment, I will temporarily give you a one-star rating for the Hongmeng Universe. If you wish to improve your rating, you can apply for a higher evaluation assessment."

“However…” Executive Priest Ganan changed the subject, “Brother Ye, you alone cannot support a cosmic civilization. If you truly want to develop this cosmic civilization, the development of the entire universe is indispensable.”

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded again.

After nodding, Ying Zheng asked again, "In that case, are we qualified to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm?"

The executive priest of the Cangnan Academy chuckled, "It's alright. From now on, your Hongmeng Universe can use the Illusionary Realm Spirit Orb to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm."

"By the way, Brother Ye, you should have the Illusionary Realm Spirit Orb, right?" asked the Executive Priest of Ganan.

Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Not yet."

“Uh…” The executive priest of Ganan was clearly speechless. Then he flipped his palm and took out a transparent bead, which he casually tossed to Ying Zheng.

"This is a gift from me to Brother Ye. Consider it a small present."

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Jianan." Ying Zheng reached out and accepted the gift, saying politely.

Ying Zheng originally planned to buy the Illusionary Spirit Orb from the interdimensional merchant, but unexpectedly, Jianan gave it to him for free. This was also Jianan doing him a small favor.

After finishing his official business, Jianan did not linger in the Hongmeng Universe and bid farewell to Ying Zheng before leaving.

Ganan acted swiftly, coming and going like the wind.

After bidding farewell to Ying Zheng, he transformed into a beam of light and instantly departed from the Hongmeng Universe. To him, traversing the universe seemed to be an easy matter.

After Jianan left, the Venerables of the Crimson Luo Immortal Realm finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ganan did not do it intentionally, the aura emanating from him was extremely astonishing. This invisible pressure made them feel a tightness in their chests, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

The invisible pressure made it incredibly difficult for them to even stand, and many of the Primordial Supremes were soaked in sweat.

"This person is terrifyingly powerful!" the Great Vajra Saint Venerable couldn't help but exclaim.

His expression still held a deep sense of shock.

Compared to the person before him, the Great Creator God of yesteryear was like a firefly compared to the sun and moon. He simply couldn't imagine that such a terrifyingly powerful being existed in the world.

"Indeed, this person's realm is so high that he could probably destroy our Primordial Universe with a mere gesture," said the Crimson Luo Immortal Venerable solemnly.

"He is a four-star Executioner!" The voice of the Ice Cold Supreme was still filled with shock.

Then, she looked at Ying Zheng with disbelief, unable to comprehend how he had managed to contact a four-star Executioner!

"How much have your strength improved over the years?!" she couldn't help but ask.

She could tell that this Canaanite priest had clearly come for Ying Zheng! Moreover, his words showed that he was extremely polite to Ying Zheng! This alone was enough to prove that Ying Zheng had the strength and qualifications to speak with him as an equal!

However, when faced with the question from the Ice Cold Supreme, Ying Zheng did not answer directly, but simply scratched his head and chuckled.

"You...! You're such a freak!"

Finally, the Ice Cold Supreme couldn't help but speak.

But what she felt most was the trepidation she felt for the advanced cosmic civilization behind Ying Zheng!
The fact that Ying Zheng could break through at such an extraordinary speed suggests that the level of the advanced cosmic civilization behind him must be far higher than she could have imagined!
Level 7? Level 8? Or Level 9?! (End of Chapter)
