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

"Disciple is dying, Master, save me!!" the person cried out in anguish.

"Alas!" With a sigh, a large hand reached out and dispersed the calamity clouds.

"What a pity. If you could have survived this tribulation, you could have condensed the Three Flowers at the Top of Your Head and achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. But now your physical body has been destroyed in this tribulation." The sage who had just made his move said to his disciple.

"Teacher, save me!" The spirit cried out in mid-air, its face contorted with grief.

"Your physical body is now destroyed, and your three souls and seven spirits have been injured by the Weak Water, so your foundation for cultivation has collapsed. Although I can rebuild your physical body, from now on, your path of cultivation is severed," the sage said helplessly.

"To preserve your cultivation, you have only two paths to choose from. One is to cultivate the path of the gods; the other is to cultivate the path of the wandering immortals. You can decide for yourself, or you can choose to reincarnate and start anew."

"Disciple...disciple chooses the path of a wandering immortal," the soul said with a mournful face.

Since the Heavenly Tribulation, someone in the Origin Realm has pioneered the Path of the Loose Immortal.

This path is specifically designed for cultivators who fail to transcend tribulations. They can abandon their physical bodies and focus solely on cultivating their souls, without the usual realm divisions. Without the constraints of realms, they are naturally exempt from the trials of heavenly tribulations.

Unfortunately, they soon realized they were wrong.

Ying Zheng changed the rules of the universe, so how could he let them easily find loopholes? With the emergence of the Path of the Loose Immortals, the corresponding Heavenly Tribulation also followed.

Moreover, the tribulations for loose immortals are even more severe.

Every thousand years, a wandering immortal must undergo a minor heavenly tribulation, each one more dangerous than the last.

The cultivation of a wandering immortal is divided into nine stages, and one can become a saint after nine stages. However, each stage requires passing through a great heavenly tribulation.

Basically, even for a genius of extraordinary talent who walks the path of a wandering immortal, the dangers of tribulations when reaching the fourth stage of wandering immortality are equivalent to the heavenly tribulations of a golden immortal.

The path of the wandering immortal is not a shortcut, but a narrower and more rugged one.

The Great Domain of the Source World Emperor.

In a garden within Ying Zheng's Daoist temple.

The place was a riot of flowers, a truly delightful sight. By a small pond, Ying Zheng and his master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, were fishing.

The two fished and chatted.

"Master, how has your cultivation been going lately?" Ying Zheng asked his master.

"It's alright," said the Tongtian Sect Master. "However, once you reach the Primordial Supreme Realm, it's indeed difficult to advance further. I can now understand why some people have stagnated for billions of years." His words carried a hint of sigh and emotion.

“Yes, but the path of cultivation lies in perseverance. The cultivation of a Primordial Supreme mainly focuses on enlightenment, while the cultivation of magical power is secondary. With your comprehension, Master, you should be able to surpass the initial stage soon,” Ying Zheng said.

"Don't try to flatter me, kid," the Tongtian Sect Leader said with a laugh. "Don't I know my own situation?"

"Alright, stop talking about me. How's your own cultivation going? How come you have time to meddle in the cultivation of all beings in the Primordial Universe? Aren't you and the Great Vajra Holy Venerable the whole time in the Azure Illusionary Realm?"

"My cultivation is no longer something that can be improved in a short time. If I want to take another step forward, I have to focus on the Hongmeng Universe," Ying Zheng said. "As for the Canglan Illusionary Realm, everything is normal inside."

Ying Zheng said, "Once you, Master, reach the peak of the Primordial Supreme realm, I will be able to take you into the Illusionary Realm. In that Illusionary Realm, with the help of the power of the Azure Illusionary Realm, you will be able to break through to the Primordial Emperor realm in a short time."

The Master of the Heavens nodded slightly and responded with a soft "Mm".

Then, after a slight hesitation, he said, "I shouldn't have said anything about the Heavenly Tribulation. Although you have good plans, you have blocked the path of countless beings in the universe. You must be very careful in dealing with the heavy karmic consequences."

It is important to understand that the accumulated karma of countless beings in a universe is unimaginably heavy.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader knew that his disciple was highly skilled, he still couldn't help but worry about Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing his master's caring words.

He smiled slightly and said, "Master, there's no need to worry. You'll understand when you reach the Universe Realm."

"After reaching the cosmic level, cultivators have actually transcended the universe. Although their karma is great, it has no connection with me anymore. Karma exists within the universe, while cosmic-level powerhouses are outside the universe, so the resentment of all living beings is like a stone sinking into the sea, returning to nothingness."

"By the way, Master, how are the cultivators in our prehistoric world doing lately?" Ying Zheng asked.

He hadn't paid attention to the prehistoric world for a long time.

Now that he is the Great Emperor, ruling the entire Hongmeng Universe, it is really difficult for him to pay special attention to the situation in the prehistoric world.

The Tongtian Sect Leader said, "It's not bad. Cultivators in our Primordial World are bound to face tribulations during their cultivation. Now that you have changed the rules of the Primordial Universe and added heavenly tribulations, this will not have a significant impact on the cultivators of the Primordial World."

"On the contrary, many people have been working hard to cultivate recently, hoping to achieve good results in the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, so as not to tarnish your reputation as the Great Emperor, and also to avoid bringing shame to our Honghuang lineage."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Hmm."

"Master, how are Second Uncle and First Uncle doing lately? I haven't seen them in a long time, probably nearly five billion years."

The Tongtian Sect Leader sighed, "After your second senior uncle achieved the Primordial Supreme Dao, he became more open-minded about cultivation and now focuses all his energy on teaching his disciples. As for your eldest senior uncle, he has made remarkable progress in the path of cultivation."

"The Primordial Supreme values ​​the cultivation of the Dao Heart most, and your eldest grandmaster is most skilled at comprehending the Dao Heart. I heard that he was already enlightened two billion years ago. Now he is probably close to the peak of the Supreme realm."

"So fast!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"As expected of the eldest master." He then exclaimed in admiration.

The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but say, "Yes. The three of us brothers have been comparing ourselves for so many years, and in the end, on the path of cultivation, our eldest brother still has the greatest talent."

Upon hearing his master's words, Ying Zheng said, "In my opinion, Master, Second Master Uncle, and First Master Uncle, your cultivation aptitudes are actually quite similar. However, First Master Uncle adheres to the Way of Non-Action, is the most focused, and is more likely to enter the Dao realm of Supreme Non-Action. Second Master Uncle follows the Way of Engaging in the World, and is skilled in fighting with others. As for you, Master, you follow the Way of Persistence and Stubbornness, single-minded in your pursuit, and capable of reversing the primordial chaos."

"The Dao that disrupts the primordial chaos." The Tongtian Sect Leader murmured to himself, seemingly having gained some insight.

Seeing his master's thoughtful expression, Ying Zheng said nothing more and simply continued fishing quietly.

However, no fish took the bait with Ying Zheng, but the fish did bite the hook with the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The float suddenly sank sharply. Tongtian Jiaozhu came to his senses, grabbed the fishing rod, and a large black and white carp thrashed its tail, seemingly unwilling to be caught.

These fish are just ordinary fish, not some kind of spiritual or sacred beast.

The Master of Heaven, holding a fishing rod, said, "Fish, oh fish, since you are so unwilling, why did I catch you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fish seemed to come alive. It struggled desperately, bit off the hook in one bite, and then with a "plop," it fell into the pond and disappeared without a trace.

"Haha, it actually got away!" The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "It actually missed its opportunity."

The two of them fished simply to enjoy the experience; they did not harm the fish and would even casually enlighten them.

Moreover, the fish they manage to catch is actually a tremendous stroke of luck. If the fish escapes, it's as if they've gained a great opportunity but then let it slip away.

……

While Ying Zheng and his master were leisurely fishing, an unexpected incident occurred in the Canglan Fantasy Realm.

To the west of Hongmeng Town lies a swamp. The swamp had previously blocked the group's path of exploration, but after Ying Zheng and his companions cleared away the zombies in the swamp, there were no further obstacles.

Even the swamp, which was originally lifeless due to the roaming zombies, has slowly begun to come back to life.

Some wild creatures have appeared in the swamp. Most of these wild creatures are automatically evolved from the free-floating energy between heaven and earth.

Further west of the swamp, it was still a wasteland, but the vegetation seemed to be more lush than to the east, perhaps due to fertile soil or abundant water.

The Great Vajrabhairava and his companions have already reached the third level of the cosmic level.

They left the daily tasks to others in the Hongmeng Universe, while they themselves, in small groups, continued their exploration southward along the mountains.

Firstly, I wanted to see if there was a way to bypass the mountains to the south, and secondly, I wanted to find out if there were any birthplaces of slightly higher-level wild creatures.

The wild creatures in the Canglan Fantasy Realm are not limited to low-level creatures such as small insects, rabbits, snakes, and wild dogs. Sometimes, some higher-level wild creatures also emerge, such as the lake monster.

However, the lake monster is considered a rather special existence among high-level wild creatures.

After it was born, it devoured too many wild dogs in the lake area, and over the long years, it has reached the sixth level of the cosmic level!

This level is extremely rare in the Canglan Fantasy Realm, and generally only major cities like Emerald City have the ability to deal with it.

Some smaller cities simply don't dare to take action against it easily.

Unfortunately, the lake monster was unlucky and got stuck in the narrow crevice, unable to unleash its full ferocity.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been killed so easily by Ying Zheng and his men.

If it could move freely and went berserk, anything below the third level of the cosmic realm would be instantly killed by a sweep of its numerous snake heads. Moreover, if it realized it couldn't defeat its opponent, it would immediately flee.

The Holy One of Yamantaka and his companions traveled south along the mountain range for about three days, killing many wolves along the way.

Finally, they reached the end, where a rushing river blocked their way.

The mighty river surges onward, its turbulent waves carrying silt and sand, rolling ceaselessly from west to east. The surging torrents resemble a stampede of ten thousand horses, displaying an unparalleled and magnificent momentum.

Looking up, the river is several miles wide!
"This river is magnificent, like a giant dragon winding its way through the land, inspiring awe in all who behold it." Looking at this vast river, Supreme Firefly couldn't help but exclaim.

“That is indeed the case.” The Holy One of Vajrabhairava nodded in agreement.

“However, this great river is blocking our way,” said Immortal Venerable Hongluo.

They traveled south along the mountains from the north, but unexpectedly, they were blocked by such a large river three days later.

This great river is so powerful that it is absolutely impossible to cross it by force.

If one attempts to cross the river by force, one will inevitably be swept away by the raging floodwaters, leaving no trace of one's body.

"We can only search upstream and westward along this river," said the Venerable Yamantaka helplessly.

After reaching an agreement, the group traveled upstream along the river. After about half a day, they made another astonishing discovery.

“Look over there! Isn’t there a town over there?” shouted the Great Vajrabhairava, who was standing on the hill looking out.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to look, and sure enough, they discovered a town in the direction that the Great Mighty Saint Venerable had pointed out, similar to Hongmeng Town, no, it was three times larger than Hongmeng Town!
A wall about one person high has been built around the town, and from here you can vaguely see tall towers standing around the town.

"Come down quickly! Be careful not to be discovered!" Immortal Venerable Hongluo suddenly exclaimed.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone reacted immediately and came down from the hill.

In the Canglan Illusionary Realm, one can plunder the energy of other creatures simply by killing them. This isn't limited to foreign cultivators killing wild beings; foreign cultivators can also plunder energy by killing each other!
And this is the true cruelty of the Canglan Fantasy World.

Outside the universe, among civilizations that have joined the Canglan Universe Circle, mutual killing and arbitrary extermination of civilizations are not permitted.

But in the Canglan Fantasy Realm, there are no such rules! Any civilization in the universe can attack and kill each other, and even exterminate each other without any problem.

Therefore, some cosmic civilizations, having made enemies in the outside world but unable to act due to the rules of the Canglan Cosmic Alliance, will instead kill their adversaries in the Canglan Illusionary Realm. This is an extremely common occurrence.

In the Canglan Fantasy Realm, unless it is a trustworthy companion, you must be extremely careful when you encounter other people!

"Oh no! We've been discovered!" the Great Lord Yamantaka exclaimed.

He could clearly see that the guards on the tall watchtowers in the town had already rung the bells.

Dang Dang Dang!
The resounding bell rang out, and even though they were thousands of meters away, the Great Vajra Deity and the others could hear it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, people rushed out from the town across the street, armed with all sorts of weapons, some even riding wolves! They had actually tamed wolves as mounts!

"They have wolf mounts! We can't escape!" Firefly Supreme exclaimed.

"Quick! Sit down, let's return to the Primordial Universe!" Immortal Venerable Hongluo shouted decisively.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone immediately sat down cross-legged, summoned their Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearls, and used their power to return to the Primordial Universe.

By the time the fastest wolf rider charged over, the Holy Lord of Great Power and his companions had all vanished.

The Primordial Universe.

In the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, the figures of the Great Powerful Saint and others appeared simultaneously.

"Quickly! Inform Ying Zheng!" said the Great Mighty Saint. His expression was somewhat solemn.

When Ying Zheng had everyone enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm, they all gathered in his Heavenly Emperor Palace so that they could quickly notify each other should anyone encounter any trouble. (End of Chapter)
