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

“That’s natural,” Wu Xuan and Hongdu nodded in agreement.

"They are all lords of their respective domains, so naturally they must participate in the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony."

After the discussions, Ying Zheng and his entourage specifically entered the Canglan Illusionary Realm to consult with the Venerables on this matter. All the Venerables agreed. The first Hongmeng Grand Ceremony was set to be held five hundred million years from now!
……

Origin Realm Great Ling Star Region!

The Daling Star Region and the Tianhuang Great Region are not far apart.

This realm was completely shattered during the Great Cataclysm of the Origin Realm billions of years ago.

Later, with the reconstruction of the source world, the Daling Starfield was able to be rebuilt.

However, compared to other major regions, the Daling Star Region is slightly smaller in size.

The entire Origin Realm is like a huge gas cloud, and each major region is a smaller gas cloud within this large gas cloud, as is the case with the Great Ling Star Region.

In the Daling Starfield, most areas are void, and within the void are numerous realms and worlds of varying sizes. They vary in shape, some being spherical, some conical, and some cylindrical.

The Three Mountains Realm of the Daling Starfield did not exist during the Ancient Origin Realm period. When the Origin Realm was rebuilt, the Great Emperor Ying Zheng slapped the three originally shattered realms together, forming a unique realm resembling three mountain peaks, hence the name Three Mountains Realm.

Orchid Cave.

This is the sacred site of the Orchid Immortal.

She attained enlightenment and became a Venerable after the reconstruction of the Origin Realm, and was known as the Orchid Immortal Venerable. At that time, cultivators were scarce in the Great Ling Star Region, and the spiritual veins of the Three Mountains Realm were abundant, so she set up her Daoist temple here.

Now, billions of years later, the number of her disciples is countless. There are more than 100,000 of her direct and true disciples alone.

Among them, there are more than ten thousand disciples with cultivation levels above the Saint level. Most of these Saints are at the level of Primordial Saints, a few have cultivated to the level of Heavenly Dao Saints, and fewer than one hundred have cultivated to the level of Great Dao Saints.

In the temple, the Orchid Immortal was giving a sermon, and countless of her disciples gathered to listen to the Great Dao.

This lecture lasted for tens of thousands of years. When the Great Dao was finished, the Orchid Immortal calculated with her fingers and then said, "The Great Dao lecture is now over. You should all cherish your time and cultivate diligently. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you may ask them before the next lecture."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!" the disciples said in unison.

Orchid Immortal Venerable nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "Disperse, all of you! The next sermon will be in one hundred million years!"

After saying this, the Orchid Immortal closed her eyes, seemingly entering a meditative state. But at that moment, an incomparably majestic voice resounded from beyond the void, as if echoing from the very end of the universe, resounding in everyone's ears: "I am the Great Emperor of Hongmeng, and I hereby issue this decree! From this day forward, all beings in my Hongmeng Universe who cultivate the Great Dao must undergo countless tribulations to test their cultivation! In addition, every fifty billion years, the Origin Realm will hold the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, in which all Saints, Heavenly Dao Saints, and Great Dao Saints of my Hongmeng Universe may participate, to compete and discuss their cultivation! The first Hongmeng Grand Ceremony will be held in five hundred million years!"

This decree was issued by Ying Zheng using his supreme divine power.

His divine sense swept across the entire universe, similar to the divine network. Any cultivator with a primordial spirit could hear it clearly, regardless of their type!

As soon as Ying Zheng issued his decree, countless beings throughout the entire primordial universe trembled, and they couldn't help but bow deeply, saying, "We will obey your decree!"

In the Daoist temple of Orchid Immortal, a look of surprise appeared on her face. "It is actually the decree of the Great Emperor! It is said that the Great Emperor Ying Zheng and the emperors of the Origin Realm have all gone to the Canglan Illusion Realm to cultivate and rarely return to the Origin Realm. I did not expect that a decree would be issued suddenly today!"

Nowadays in the Origin Realm, most cultivators with high levels of cultivation know that there are even higher realms above the Primordial Supreme.

They revered those with cultivation levels above the Primordial Supreme as Emperors, such as the Crimson Luo Immortal Venerable and the Martial Profound Emperor Venerable, who are now revered as the Crimson Luo Great Emperor and the Martial Profound Great Emperor, respectively. Among all the Emperors, only Ying Zheng was revered as the Great Emperor Venerable.

……

"Master!" Inside the dojo, many disciples looked at Orchid Immortal Venerable with blank and helpless expressions.

After pondering for a moment, the Orchid Immortal Venerable finally spoke: "The decree issued by the Great Emperor Venerable is to enhance the Heavenly Tribulation in order to urge you to cultivate diligently. You do not need to worry too much. As long as you cultivate diligently, it will not be difficult to successfully overcome the tribulation."

"As for the Grand Primordial Chaos Ceremony, all my disciples, whether they are Saints, Heavenly Dao Saints, or Great Dao Saints, are welcome to participate as long as they feel their cultivation is profound. If you can win a few rounds, it will not only be an opportunity for you, but I will also feel honored!"

"Yes!" In the Orchid Dojo, countless disciples bowed and responded.

Ying Zheng's decree not only spread throughout the Orchid Dojo, but also resonated throughout the entire Hongmeng Universe. Whether in the Origin Realm or in the vast void of the Hongmeng Universe, all living beings could hear it clearly.

That was a decree from Ying Zheng, the supreme ruler of the Hongmeng Universe!

In the primordial universe, there are still many closed-off large and small worlds, just like the ancient primordial world.

Ying Zheng spread the decree throughout the primordial universe in the hope that these worlds could also break out of their isolation, learn more about the outside world, and not be confined to their own little worlds, remaining stagnant and closed off.

In a certain void of the primordial universe, a surging torrent of chaos formed a colossal vortex. And at the center of this vortex stood a vast world.

With the issuance of Ying Zheng's decree, the most powerful Dao Saints in this vast world gathered together.

"Just who is this Great Emperor?! His cultivation is so terrifying! His divine sense is as deep as an abyss and as majestic as a prison, as if he came from beyond the heavens and suppressed everything! Under his majesty, I even had the illusion that my liver and gallbladder were about to be torn apart!" A Great Dao Saint said in horror.

"I don't know!" Several Great Dao Saints, as well as other Heavenly Dao Saints and Primordial Saints, all shook their heads.

“I have heard about it,” one of the most ancient Great Dao Saints said solemnly.

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, all the saints were startled and turned their gazes toward them.

"About 4.6 billion years ago, when this great world was just born, I had just emerged from chaos and was only at the level of a saint. At that time, I encountered a cultivator who came from outside the chaos!"

"The Source Saint?!" all the saints exclaimed in surprise.

The Source Saint is the origin of the Dao in their great world, a being who, according to legend, brought all kinds of great Daos to their great world.

"Yes, it's him." The most ancient Great Dao Saint nodded.

“He saw that our world and I were both in the beginning of life. Although we already had intelligence and had some innate knowledge of cultivation methods, they were all too rudimentary. He felt pity for us and thus taught me his own cultivation methods and some of the great Dao methods he knew.”

"At the time, I was extremely grateful to him and hoped to become his disciple. But he refused. He told me that he was just a Great Dao Saint, and his cultivation was still shallow, so he had no intention of taking on disciples. He told me that the Great Dao methods he taught me were all obtained from the Divine Network, and were all profound Great Dao methods created by the Emperors and Venerables!"

"After he finished imparting the Great Dao to me, he prepared to leave. Before he left, I asked him where I could find him in the future. He told me that in the center of our Primordial Universe, there is a place called the Origin Realm, which is the source of the Dao in the Primordial Universe. He came from the Long Star Realm of the Jupiter Great Domain of the Origin Realm!"

"He also told me that there are twelve levels of Great Dao Saints, and he was at the eighth level at the time. Above the Great Dao Saints, there are Primordial Supremes, and above the Supremes, there are Great Emperors! And ruling over the Origin Realm and the entire Hongmeng Universe is the existence above all Emperors, with the highest cultivation and merit—the Great Emperor! The Great Emperor's cultivation is so high that it has reached an unimaginable and inconceivable realm!"

"He told me that if I become a Great Dao Saint in the future, I will have the opportunity to go to the Origin Realm!"

After the most ancient sage of the Great Dao finished speaking, all the sages looked at each other in bewilderment.

In this vast world, they were already the most powerful and noble beings. Although they knew before that there was a wider space beyond chaos, they never imagined that there were so many realms above the Great Dao Saint.

Because their cultivation methods only reach the twelfth level of the Primordial Dao Saint.

"The Great Emperor's decree is also an opportunity for us!" said the most ancient Great Dao Saint.

"What does Master mean?" All the saints looked at him.

"Five hundred million years from now, I plan to travel to the Origin Realm!" he said firmly.

Another place is also a vast world.

However, unlike the previous great world, this one has existed for hundreds of billions of years, making it one of the oldest great worlds in the Primordial Universe. Moreover, the master of this great world is a Primordial Supreme who escaped during the Great Calamity of the Origin Realm.

"During the Great Calamity of the Origin Realm, I escaped from the Origin Realm and came here to establish a Great World and live in seclusion. Now, billions of years have passed, and the Origin Realm has been rebuilt for hundreds of billions of years. It's time to go back and take a look," the Primordial Supreme murmured to himself.

With that, he immediately issued an order: "Issue my decree that all the saints shall go into seclusion and cultivate for five hundred million years, and after five hundred million years, they shall follow me to the Origin Realm to participate in the Primordial Grand Ceremony!"

"Yes!" The many sages of this great world responded in unison.

On the Origin Realm side, after issuing the decree, Ying Zheng immediately began to change the rules of the universe!
Changing the universe may sound absurd, but it was not difficult for Ying Zheng!
His divine sense rose and enveloped the entire universe. As Ying Zheng's divine sense ascended to this level, his consciousness began to communicate with the general consciousness of the Hongmeng universe!
Soon, guided by Ying Zheng's divine sense, the rules of the entire universe began to slowly change.

Originally, the cultivation of the Primordial Immortal Path did not have fixed heavenly tribulations as restrictions. Some great worlds and small worlds had heavenly tribulations, but these were merely limitations imposed by their own worlds.

However, from this moment on, with the change of the rules of the universe, the cultivation of all living beings in the entire Hongmeng universe will face the restriction of heavenly tribulation.

As Ying Zheng changed, countless resentments and karmic burdens were placed upon him in the unseen realm.

The path of spiritual practice for all beings is originally unobstructed.

Ying Zheng imposed heavenly tribulations on them, which was tantamount to hindering their path of cultivation. Naturally, immeasurable karma and resentment would then be reflected back on him.

But Ying Zheng was completely fearless. With a thought, all the immeasurable causes and effects and karma were instantly annihilated by him.

It's that simple. His current supernatural powers far surpass those of an entire universe.

"From now on, all beings will undergo countless tribulations and hardships in their cultivation. But this is the true path of cultivation," Ying Zheng's words echoed.

If the path of spiritual practice is always smooth and unobstructed, it may not always be a good thing.

Only by undergoing numerous trials and tribulations and establishing a solid foundation can one go further.

Since the Heavenly Tribulation descended, mortals who aspire to become immortals will face even more severe trials. And immortals will no longer be able to rest easy.

They too must face the trials of heavenly tribulation and continue to cultivate diligently. Otherwise, their entire cultivation will ultimately be reduced to ashes under the heavenly tribulation.

From this day forward, countless cultivators will perish under the heavenly tribulation. But Ying Zheng firmly believes that those who survive the tribulation will become the elite of the elite!

As the rules of the universe changed, countless cultivators throughout the Hongmeng Universe soon perished in the calamity.

In the boundless void of the primordial universe!

In a small world, in a small town where cultivators and mortals lived together, there was a cultivation family surnamed Ye.

Everyone in the city knows that the Ye family has an ancestor who has cultivated for hundreds of years and whose cultivation is unfathomable. He is about to ascend to immortality.

Suddenly, the sky above the town, which had been clear and cloudless, became covered with dark clouds that stretched for dozens of miles, shrouding the entire town in a thick blanket of black clouds.

An indescribable, oppressive pressure weighed on everyone's hearts.

Under such imposing authority, the city's inhabitants hastily fled back home. The cultivators, in particular, looked up at the sky in terror!
"This is divine might!"

"A month ago, a great emperor issued a decree that from now on, cultivators must undergo heavenly tribulations in order to attain immortality. Could it be true?!"

"Could that Great Emperor truly possess the ability to alter the rules of heaven and earth?!"

While the many cultivators were still in shock and doubt, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the entire city. The terrifying thunder was deafening, as if it would tear the heavens and the earth apart.

Amidst the endless white light, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the back mountain of the Ye family.

"Ah!! I'm not reconciled!" A shrill scream echoed through the sky amidst the lightning.

Then, the thunderclouds dissipated.

Soon, news spread throughout all the cultivation families in the city: the Heavenly Tribulation had thwarted the Ye family patriarch's attempt to become an immortal!

This news shocked the cultivation world.

"From this day forward, the path to immortality has been blocked!"

"It was the Great Emperor! That Great Emperor stole our fortune!"

"Damn it, the heavens are unjust!"

"The path to immortality is severed!"

Countless cultivators wailed in despair.

After the Ye family patriarch failed to transcend the tribulation, coupled with the effects of the lightning tribulation, the Ye family cultivators suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing the Ye family decline, other cultivation families in the city seized the opportunity to plunder, leading to the Ye family's annihilation. Only one young man managed to escape.

He looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face, and said, "One day, I will make sure that the sky can no longer block my view!"

The Vermilion Bird Heavenly Hill Starfield of the Origin Realm.

In a supreme Daoist temple, a Golden Immortal is undergoing tribulation.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, pouring down a torrent of stagnant water. This rain was no ordinary rain; it was filled with murderous intent, capable of destroying the human body and killing the soul.

In the torrential rain, the golden immortal screamed repeatedly as his physical body gradually disintegrated, leaving only a soul in the end. (End of Chapter)
