Traveling across the globe for the first time

Upon hearing that the Spirit Emperor had been sentenced to two thousand years, placing him on par with the Southern Emperor and the Human Emperor, Cang Mao immediately objected.

He poked his head out from Fang Ping's collar, looking dissatisfied, and said, "How did you make this judgment? It's not fair at all."

The fat guy hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he punished so severely?
I refuse to accept this!

Actually, Zhang Tao's sentence was not wrong. The main problem was that Linghuang's family background was too weak. If she could reach the average level of an emperor, her sentence would only be around 1000 years.

However, we cannot ignore the Azure Cat like we do with the Celestial Pole.

After all, Cangmao was a great help, not to mention the fall of Song Wang at the beginning.

Later, when Zhang Haoran and Fang Ping fought in the underground cave, it was Cangmao who guarded the human world.

Besides, Cangmao has won many allies for the human race during several major battles. Now that he has jumped out to plead for mercy, we should at least give him some face.

Zhang Haoran coughed lightly and said, "Rules are rules, and we new martial artists have always been fair in our rewards and punishments."

Two thousand years is not enough!

Seeing Cang Mao's fat face fall, he smiled and said, "The sentence cannot be shortened, that's a principle!"

However, since you've stepped in, let's make an exception and change his sentence from serving time in hell to doing manual labor, it's all part of his reform through labor!

He looked at the Spirit Emperor and asked, "What's your surname?"

Upon hearing this question, the Spirit Emperor was somewhat bewildered and was about to answer...

Zhang Haoran slapped his forehead and said, "I remember now, you super old-fashioned people all have single-character names and no surnames at all."

Indeed, this is true. For example, the God Emperor's name only has the character "穹" (Qiong), the Earth Emperor's name only has the character "鸿" (Hong), and the Eastern Emperor's name is "昊" (Hao).

Without waiting for the Emperor's reply, he said to himself, "Let's just say the surname is Meng!"

"From now on, you will be responsible for serving the reincarnated ghosts Meng Po soup at the Naihe Bridge to wash away their memories of their past lives."

"After you've served your full two thousand years, you'll drink a bowl yourself before being reincarnated, but you'll still have to endure the other punishments."

Zhang Tao and the others were fine, but the myths and legends of this world were different from those of their previous life, and they had no idea who Meng Po was.

Fang Ping looked at him strangely, as if to say, "You're really good at making do. Letting the Spirit Emperor be Meng Po, that's perfect."

However, he had no objections. Working was better than being tortured in hell. He knew better than anyone how terrifying the eighteen levels of hell were now.

Upon hearing that the Spirit Emperor was merely an employee, Cangmao beamed with joy, jumped onto Fang Ping's head, and said in a clear voice, "That's more like it. Is that soup any good?"

The underworld is now under Li Zhen's jurisdiction. Given Cangmao's status in the human world, he cannot enter and leave at will. He can visit the Spirit Emperor at any time.

Fang Ping knew how greedy Cang Mao was; if he didn't remind it, it might actually go and get a bowl of Meng Po soup.

Fang Ping didn't want its memory to be erased, so he grabbed the gray cat off his head and began explaining the effects of the Meng Po soup, emphasizing that it didn't taste very good.

Zhang Tao looked at the Earth Emperor coldly and said, "It's your turn last!"

"You were the one who spread the word about the seeds being in the human world back then, weren't you?"

Now that things have come to this, the Earth Emperor no longer denies it and directly nods in acknowledgment!
However, he was a little puzzled. Hadn't the Heavenly Emperor already made his judgment?
How come he's the last one?

The Earth Emperor quickly realized that no punishment was the worst possible outcome, as it represented life imprisonment. No matter how severely an emperor was punished, there was always a time limit.

Thousands or tens of thousands of years later, there will still be a chance to be reincarnated, but the Heavenly Emperor, the culprit, has no future. He will always be used as a tool to help the Three Realms transform energy, and when he is no longer needed, he will be thrown into hell to suffer eternal torment.

After understanding the human race's intentions, even the Earth Emperor, with his temperament, couldn't help but shudder. His gaze towards Zhang Tao was no longer as carefree as before, but instead held a hint of awe.

Zhang Tao's expression grew colder and colder as he gritted his teeth and said, "The Demon Plant Royal Court has always targeted the human world, and it was you who instigated this from behind the scenes. As a result, the human race has sacrificed tens of millions of warriors and millions of martial artists!"
Therefore, my sentence for you is thirty thousand years!

Thirty thousand years?

The onlookers couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This punishment was extremely severe, three times heavier than that of the God Emperor.

However, while everyone was surprised, they had no objections. After all, humans now ruled the three realms, so the standards for judgment naturally had to be based on human perspectives.

While those emperors were certainly despicable, they did not cause much harm to the new martial artists. But the Earth Emperor was different; he was the mastermind behind it all.

Even if the Earthly Emperor has a large fortune, and his three sons all have considerable power, he will probably still be sentenced to another 10,000 to 20,000 years after paying the fine.

Upon hearing this result, the Earth Emperor was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not destined to be reborn like the Heavenly Emperor, he could accept any outcome.

At this moment, Zhang Tao changed the subject and said, "However, given that you cooperated with Fang Ping's time travel and bound him to the War Emperor's wealth value system, making a huge contribution to the rise of humanity, I will reduce your sentence by 10,000 years."

Now that things have come to this, Fang Ping's background is no longer a secret. The main reason is that the seed has already sided with Zhang Tao; otherwise, he wouldn't have known so many secrets and made a relatively fair judgment.

Upon hearing this result, the Earth Emperor glanced at Zhang Tao in surprise, but he wasn't particularly happy. He had already guessed the terror of the eighteen levels of hell and estimated that Zhang Tao would be driven mad by the torture in just a few years. So, there was no difference between 30,000 years and 20,000 years.

Zhang Haoran looked at the Earth Emperor with sympathy and sighed softly, saying, "Ah, you don't need to be so discouraged."

In reality, you may never have the chance to experience the tortures that have lasted for tens of thousands of years.

This is just our judgment on you. No matter how severe the punishment, there will always be a chance for you to rise again.

Owess of karma to the three realms are easy to repay, but the karma you owe a hunter may not be so easy to repay. Wait until you survive before considering how to reduce your sentence.

The Earth Emperor and everyone around him were baffled. It seemed that this meant they didn't intend to let the other party go, and would kill him directly without even torturing him. Wasn't that too ruthless?
As soon as he finished speaking, the void cracked open, and a figure wearing a long leather coat with a long sword slung across his waist walked out.

The martial artists were no strangers to this figure, after all, Su Xiao had participated in battles more than once or twice.

The only thing that piqued everyone's curiosity was the red chains that appeared behind Su Xiao, covered with mysterious runes that sent chills down their spines just by looking at them.

Behind Su Xiao, there were hundreds of them, densely packed together.

He took out a bottle of Elemental Brew, took a big gulp, and then lazily said, "Luckily you still remember your promise, otherwise I would have been asking you for compensation for emotional distress."

Don't worry, I won't kill him outright.

"As long as he survives one of my blows, the karma I incurred before will be paid off."

Upon seeing Su Xiao arrive, the Earth Emperor felt an extreme fear rising in his heart. He felt that the other party was even more dangerous than the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.

He had a feeling that if his opponent were to strike him with a single, casual blow, his soul would be annihilated forever, leaving him no chance of reincarnation.

He's too short-sighted. With Su Xiao's current strength, if he were to strike him with all his might, not only would his soul be destroyed, but his very existence and causality would be annihilated, and the name "Earth Emperor" would disappear from everyone's memory.

Zhang Haoran was not surprised by Su Xiao's arrival. He had sent an invitation to Su Xiao before the battle with the Heavenly Emperor, mainly because he was afraid that the Heavenly Emperor might have some backup plan to escape from the Three Realms. If that happened, he would need to hire Su Xiao to hunt him down.

He was surprised that Su Xiao only appeared at this time. He said in an annoyed tone, "If I'm not mistaken, you are already an eighth-level expert."

Let alone the Earth Emperor, even in our high-martial-world, we couldn't withstand a single strike from you!

"Just say you want to kill him!"

Su Xiao had already destroyed the Transcendent Original World when he was at the seventh level. The High Martial World was only at the sixth level and definitely couldn't withstand a single blow.

Zhang Haoran glanced at the blood-red chains behind Su Xiao and asked curiously, "You came all this way, why are you chained up? Are you afraid you'll bite someone?"

"Fuck off!"

Su Xiao said irritably, "Believe it or not, I'll shatter these chains right now and cause this world to collapse."
This world is just too fragile!
I wouldn't dare come in if the amusement park didn't restrict my cultivation.

You'd better hurry up and find a way to advance it to a Lesser Thousand World, otherwise you'll have to be very careful when you return here after you break through to the seventh rank.

Zhang Haoran suddenly realized that the chains behind Su Xiao looked familiar. It turned out that these were the rule chains of the Paradise of Reincarnation.

After all, Su Xiao is now a Star Guardian, a solid eighth-tier powerhouse. If he isn't restrained, he could cause the High Martial World to collapse in an instant.

Zhang Haoran said somewhat dejectedly, "Do you think I don't want the world to advance? But it's not that easy."
I specifically exchanged for the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc to complete the world's rules.

Even the Great Dao Universe has begun to expand, yet the Three Realms remain completely silent…

He suddenly noticed the smile on Su Xiao's lips, and immediately realized what was going on, angrily saying, "Damn it, you weren't the one who did this, were you?"

Su Xiao stopped hiding it and chuckled, saying, "Hehe, I'm doing this for your own good."

After listening to Patriarch Bodhi's sermon, your realm has already reached the seventh level. The reason you are still at the peak of the sixth level is simply because the matters here have not yet been resolved.
I'm trying to help you.

Whether it's allowing these so-called emperors to transform the world, establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, or even transforming the countless worlds into smaller worlds.

All of these are acts of merit!

This is not the merit of Heaven, but the merit of the Great Dao.

I've reached an agreement with Heaven to temporarily suppress all changes. Once you've dealt with everything, we'll proceed with the overall transformation.

At that time, all the merits of the Great Dao will be bestowed upon you at once, which is far superior to advancing one level at a time.

Moreover, by advancing alongside the world, you can build a more solid foundation.

After listening to Su Xiao's explanation, Zhang Haoran immediately understood the other party's good intentions. This was to let him do everything he could first, and then receive a huge reward at the end.

The Great Dao Merit is the primordial power of chaos, and there are no hidden dangers even if it is used to improve one's cultivation.

If used for refining artifacts, it would definitely be the most top-tier Chaos Treasure.

He immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Please deal with the Earth Emperor as soon as possible."

Let me see if there's anywhere else I can accumulate merit.

He looked at the Heavenly Tomb not far away, where there were countless spatial rifts, where even the strongest could perish.

This is considered a scar in this world; healing it will surely bring considerable merit.

So he immediately took out the Myriad Realms Cauldron, preparing to repair the space there.

However, before he could even make a move, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Turning his head, he saw that Su Xiao had killed the Earth Emperor.

However, he acted with great restraint, only severing half of the Earth Emperor's soul; any more and the soul would have collapsed.

However, things aren't going well now either. Only half of my soul remains, and even if I'm reincarnated, I'll be an idiot.

But it doesn't matter. At first, they are reborn into the animal realm or the hungry ghost realm, where they don't have much wisdom to begin with. Dying quickly means they can be reincarnated sooner.

He thought it was nothing serious, but the three Hong brothers didn't think so. They immediately offered up all their resources and cultivation techniques to lessen the Earth Emperor's punishment.

They feared that the Earth Emperor's soul would be incomplete and unable to withstand the torment of hell, thus dissipating.

This underestimates Fang Ping's abilities. If the soul dissipates, what is the point of the existence of the eighteen levels of hell?
Once their sentences are served, all souls will be able to emerge intact, but their mental state is another matter.

Li Zhu and Hong Kun not only handed over all their personal wealth, but also the treasures hidden by the Earth Emperor. His treasure trove was not in the Three Realms, but was hidden in a small space nearby.

These were all found by Li Zhu when he took control of the Myriad Realms Cauldron.

The Earth Emperor clearly had planned this all along. Before the Heavenly War broke out, he began transferring his wealth, and his fortune was quite substantial. Including the plundering by Hongkun and the other two over the years, his wealth had already surpassed that of the God Emperor.

Seeing such astonishing wealth, and based on the principle of fairness, Zhang Tao had no choice but to reduce his sentence again.

However, the Earth Emperor still served the longest sentence among all emperors, a full 5000 years.

Zhang Tao was very good at interpersonal relationships; he shared half of the Earth Emperor's wealth with Su Xiao.

Zhang Haoran said irritably, "He's the guardian of the Star Realm now, in charge of an eighth-order world. Would he care about such a small amount of money?" However, Su Xiao unceremoniously put away all the resources. He was indeed the guardian of the Star Realm, but with the Void Tree and various paradises existing, he couldn't just rob them!

The battle with the supreme being had exhausted all his resources, even selling the Black Maple Tree. Now penniless, he naturally wouldn't let go of any benefits that came his way.

Zhang Haoran felt a pang of heartache as he watched such a large sum of wealth being taken away. He glared at Li Zhu and the others and said, "Today, the Emperor is being judged, and we haven't even had a chance to settle accounts with you yet. Your father was the mastermind, and the three of you were the executors. You won't be spared any punishment."

Now that you have no wealth, let's see what you can use to atone for your sins. In the end, your sentences will probably be longer than those of emperors.

"You will all go to hell to suffer with the Earthly Emperor."

Because they had previously joined forces against the enemy, Zhang Tao was too embarrassed to turn against them directly. However, the karmic debt had to be repaid sooner or later, and after the other party died, they would also suffer in hell.

Su Xiaogang had just amassed a large fortune and was in a great mood. He immediately reminded Su Xiaogang, "You'd better hurry. World advancement is an inevitable trend, and I can't suppress it for much longer."

Zhang Haoran glared at Li Zhu and the others again, then immediately activated the Myriad Realms Cauldron, transforming his blood and qi into spatial power, which surged towards the Heavenly Tomb.

At the same time, he let out a low shout, and his sword domain unfolded, enveloping the entire Heavenly Tomb Ruins. The laws left behind by the emperors during their battles transformed into longswords that flew out of this space and exploded into starlight.

As the remaining power of the laws dissipated, and spatial energy surged in, the area where the Heavenly Tomb was located quickly recovered, leaving only the ruins from the fall of the Heavenly Court.

at the same time.

There were also long swords that pierced through those emperors and killed them all. With a twist of the sword light, the golden bodies exploded into specks of golden light, and the primordial energy of the three realms surged by a large margin.

Zhang Haoran stretched out his hand and pulled out transparent bodies from the golden light—the souls of emperors. He extracted these souls and cast them into the underworld. The rest was up to Li Zhen.
Since the verdict has already been reached, he only needs to carry out the punishment according to the regulations.

After dealing with the matter of the Heavenly Tomb, he turned to look in the direction of the mortal realm and waved his hand...

Rumble!
The barrier between heaven and earth, which had separated the human world for tens of thousands of years, collapsed, and Earth transformed into a continent, beginning to merge into the Three Realms.

"Buzz!"

The realm of swordsmanship expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire Three Realms, preventing the shockwaves from the fusion from affecting ordinary people.

After doing all this, he looked at Su Xiao, as if to say, "I've done everything I could to gain merit!"
There's no need to continue suppressing it; let the world advance quickly.

Su Xiao nodded and waved his hand, summoning an ancient book from the void.

Zhang Haoran's face immediately darkened.
"Holy crap! Why did you bring this thing with you?"

He had been wondering how Su Xiao suppressed the world's advancement, but he never expected it to be the Book of Original Sin. Although the Great Father-level Original Sin artifact was no longer there, this thing itself was not a good thing.

However, he didn't have time to berate Su Xiao. The moment the seal was broken, the entire Three Realms began to tremble, a massive amount of primordial energy appeared, and the world began to advance. At the same time, a golden light enveloped Zhang Haoran.

He forcibly suppressed it, preventing his cultivation from breaking through to the seventh level.

According to Su Xiao, advancing together with the world would yield better results.

He did not strengthen his golden body, and his indestructible body cannot be improved for the time being. Otherwise, the increased blood and qi would directly push his cultivation level to the seventh rank.

Therefore, he used all his merit to strengthen his soul. His soul was already transforming into a physical body, and his appearance was exactly the same as Zhang Haoran's, even the clothes he wore were identical.

As the golden light of merit was infused, the soul became increasingly solid, quickly transforming into a physical form and radiating a bronze-colored light.

This is the Martial Dao Primordial Spirit!

Moreover, it is a bronze-level martial arts primordial spirit, a mark of a high-level cultivator.

This is just the beginning...

Zhang Haoran created the Six Paths of Reincarnation to mend the rules of the world, and then killed the Nine Emperors, returning the world to its former glory.

It also resolved the source region vulnerability, restoring the Great Dao Universe to its completeness...

Repairing the shattered space of the Heavenly Tomb and unifying the Three Realms... the combined merits from the Great Dao are truly considerable.

The soul continued to improve, emitting a faint silver light, and began to transform into a silver martial arts primordial spirit. If it could reach the gold martial arts primordial spirit, it would be able to bear the power of the rules with its soul.

However, that step is too far. He would be satisfied as long as he could go a little further on the path of the Silver Martial Dao Primordial Spirit.

It should be noted that the Bronze Martial Dao Primordial Spirit corresponds to the seventh rank, while the Silver Martial Dao Primordial Spirit corresponds to the eighth and ninth ranks.

The Golden Martial Spirit is a symbol of a tenth-tier expert.

In terms of martial arts skill alone, he is now not much worse than Su Xiao.

Rumble!
The world is undergoing tremendous changes, and the entire world is expanding...

Forbidden areas left behind by battles between powerful figures have all disappeared, underground mineral veins are growing wildly, and all the martial artists seem to have entered a state of enlightenment, with their cultivation levels greatly improved.

This represents a further evolution of the world to a higher level, from which all living beings can benefit.

The Great Dao Universe, which was already expanding, also ascended along with the Three Realms.

As the core of the event and the greatest contributor, Zhang Haoran is benefiting the most at this moment, with the Three Realms and the Great Dao Universe feeding back their primal power to him.

He uses these fundamental forces to continuously strengthen his foundation and adjust his state to keep pace with the world.

Rumble!
A deafening roar filled the heavens and earth.

From the outside, the bubble representing the Three Realms suddenly swelled several times larger.

The area inside increased more than tenfold, and small points of light appeared around this large bubble.
The Lesser Thousand Worlds are no longer just one world, but are surrounded by countless worlds, all of which are subordinate worlds.

At this moment, Zhang Haoran also officially advanced to the seventh rank. The benefits of advancing along with the world were immense. The entire evolution of the world, including the weaving of the web of laws, was revealed to him without reservation.

He could even use these insights to create his own world of endless sands.

The tremors of the world gradually subsided, and everyone looked around curiously. What was originally just a small hill had now become a high mountain, the depth of the Forbidden Sea had increased several times, and the entire world had expanded more than ten times.

At this moment, most of the chains behind Su Xiao disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations on graduating! How about it, you got quite a few benefits, didn't you?"

Zhang Haoran's eyes were blank at this moment because he had received a notification from the Myriad Realms Tower.

All transmigrators who reach the seventh rank before graduation have one opportunity to join the Myriad Realms Building and become a full-time employee.

He grinned and said, "Hehe! The Myriad Realms Tower is quite considerate of us transmigrators!"

They even handle job assignments!

Now I understand Su Xiao's intentions.

If you don't reach the seventh rank before graduation, you won't be able to enjoy this benefit, and you'll only be able to join the Myriad Realms Tower by chance in the future.

Becoming a full-fledged employee of the Myriad Realms Tower means that even an eleventh-level powerhouse wouldn't dare to attack him; this is the best guarantee for a newcomer.

Su Xiao grabbed his arm and said excitedly, "We should go report for duty!"
I heard that the official staff of the Myriad Realms Building will soon be organizing a large-scale operation. If we arrive too late, we might miss it.

"What major operation?"

Zhang Haoran asked curiously, "By the way, you just graduated, where did you get this information? Why don't I know about it?"

Su Xiao's expression was somewhat strange: "It's a message from Caesar!"
I don't know how he managed to sneak into the Myriad Realms Building first.

This is inside information he revealed to me; this guy is now a full-time employee, and even a logistics administrator!

"Holy crap! Caesar's in the Myriad Realms Building? And he's the logistics manager? That's going to make the myriad realms even more interesting."

Zhang Haoran also showed the same strange expression. He guessed that Caesar must be in the Astral Plane, and there was nothing to steal, so he joined the Myriad Realms Tower.

After all, he took the Abyss Treasury with him and also manipulated the Void Treasury.

There's nothing worthwhile to do in the Astral Plane anymore.

This guy must have seen something from Su Xiao, and then offered up a lot of wealth to get into the Myriad Realms Tower.

You said bribery!

How can this be called bribery? This is called political donation.

Furthermore, the Myriad Realms Tower is a shop, and it is said that you can buy anything as long as you have money. Therefore, it is natural that official employee positions can also be sold.

I'm sure Caesar wouldn't dare to operate the logistics department of the Myriad Realms Tower, and he would manage it very well, since he has the talent in that area. However, the treasure troves of other worlds are another story.

"So what exactly is this major operation?"

Su Xiao said excitedly, "I heard it's about digging up graves in a tenth-tier world. The Myriad Realms Tower is organizing a grave-raiding team. Professionals or high-level experts can join, but they must be full-time employees."

You've honed your digging skills to a high level in the martial arts world; you're practically a professional. Joining shouldn't be a problem."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Zhang Haoran said excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! I've been wanting to see what the real Myriad Realms Tower looks like for a long time."

The next moment, the two figures disappeared from the high-level martial arts world, and when they reappeared, they had arrived at a magnificent complex of buildings.

This complex of buildings floats in the clouds, extremely vast, stretching as far as the eye can see, surrounded by an endless starry sky, with countless stars orbiting around it; in fact, they are individual worlds.

The two were standing in front of a tall, massive gate, above which hung a golden plaque with the three characters "Myriad Realms Tower" shining brightly, exuding a profound Daoist aura.

Behind the gate was a straight avenue lined with shops on both sides, leading to a huge trading square at the end of the road.

Behind the plaza lies the main hall of the Myriad Realms Building, a towering structure that reaches the sky and has 12 floors.

The two stood beneath the towering gatehouse, looking like two ants. Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a colossal beast, thousands of feet tall, appeared in the distance.

The giant beast didn't even glance at the two of them before rushing inside. The moment it stepped through the gate, its body began to shrink, transforming into a three-meter-long monster.

"Let's go too!"

Zhang Haoran pulled Su Xiao across the giant gate. A golden light flashed, and the two of them gained a lot of basic information about the Myriad Realms Tower in their minds. A blue employee badge appeared on their chests.

What we're sending now are just some important notes; detailed rules can only be received by going to the main building.

The two proceeded along the straight road, and Su Xiao said excitedly, "We've finally arrived at the Myriad Realms Tower! I've heard there are many powerful figures here that we can challenge!"

"Don't always stay in the world of high martial arts. If you stay there too long, you'll become a frog in a well. How about coming to the Paradise of Reincarnation for a while? I'm a personal brand now and have the authority to recruit you as a hunter."

Zhang Haoran nodded and said meaningfully, "I will definitely go to the Paradise of Reincarnation. It's a great place to improve my skills. But I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again. I'll go and get on Bai Ye's good side."

After hearing this, Su Xiao immediately fell silent. He understood what the other party meant: Zhang Haoran would enter the Paradise of Reincarnation as a hunter, but he would not appear at this point in time. Instead, he would have to start from the beginning.

The other party is asking if there are any regrets from the past that need to be made up for.

After pondering for a while, Su Xiao said calmly, "It's fine to cling to someone's coattails, just don't ruin me at that point in time."

Zhang Haoran immediately objected!
"Damn it, can you at least look at your conscience before you speak? When have I ever cheated you? Every collaboration has made you a fortune?"

Su Xiao sneered, "That's because your high-martial world is too rich. Go to the Paradise of Reincarnation and see what happens! Do you know what the three poorest things in the Paradise are?"

"Let's give it a try. My next stop is the Paradise of Reincarnation."

The two figures gradually blended into the crowd...

The End! (End of Chapter)
