A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 456: Guidance of Destiny

Hearing the angry cries of the True Immortals and Heavenly Lords, the Emperor's eyes wandered and he coughed dryly.

With a slightly embarrassed look on his face, he said softly, "What do you mean I won't sell you out? Really, I won't."

However, as soon as the Emperor spoke, he was met with thousands of angry glares that made him feel a chill on his back.

It was revealing, as if it was a kind of grief and anger that made one want to skin someone alive, completely dismember them into billions of pieces, and light sky lanterns.

No, it’s not as if, all the True Immortals and Heavenly Lords present here all thought so.

The Emperor, who possesses the ability of a quasi-immortal emperor, can, with the help of the geographical advantage of [Heaven], clearly sense their scattered thoughts and know their extreme grief and indignation.

If he had not just demonstrated the might of the Emperor, completely intimidating them and making them realize the huge gap between themselves and him, some of the hot-tempered Heavenly Lords and True Immortals would have been ready to sacrifice everything they had and cover him in blood.

Taiwu Zhenxian was filled with the pressure of a supreme Zhenxian. With a gloomy look, he asked the Emperor, "Then our Heavenly Emperor, can you explain what it means that 'the members of the [Heavenly Court] belong to the will of the universe and are an inseparable part of our world'?"

The Emperor restrained the expression on his face and explained in a calm tone, "The birth of [Heaven] is not simple. In addition to the participation of everyone present, the future cause and effect fate and the general trend of luck have correctly arrived at the current time node. I also consumed some gifts left by Emperor Huang Tian, ​​and imprinted all the laws of the evolution of the universe to date."

"As the consumable material and the main component of the birth of [Heavenly Court], the quasi-immortal emperor weapon [Southern Heaven Gate] born in our great universe is only the consumption that is revealed on the surface. The other more obscure auxiliary and consumption are all borne by the will of the great universe."

As for the other obscure assistance and consumption, Mr. Xiong, who was at the origin of the universe, clapped his hands with an innocent look on his face.

It is normal for some things to disappear during construction. Not to mention that for a palace as large as the Heavenly Palace, it is reasonable for a little bit of loss. It is also logical for the construction party and Party A to have some special agreement that cannot be made public.

Those who understand, understand. Those who don’t understand, there is nothing we can do.

"Therefore, the will of the universe contributed the most to the establishment of the Heavenly Court, and the members of the Heavenly Court will nominally belong to the will of the universe."

The Emperor paused, looked at the True Immortals and Heavenly Lords who were staring at him with cold eyes, and coughed dryly again.

"You all belong to the great cosmic consciousness, which is not a bad thing. You can consume Xuanhuang Merit in exchange for the opportunity to comprehend the origin of the universe. Only in this case can you have it. You must know that this thing is the core of the universe and it will never be open to the public."

"Moreover, the goal of establishing the [Heavenly Court] was to resist the unpredictable ominous and strange things in the future, to end the environment of the end of the universe, and to restore the prosperous era of cultivation in the ancient era. Therefore, it is very reasonable for the members of the [Heavenly Court] to belong to the will of the universe and cooperate with its normal dispatch."

The gloomy expressions of some True Immortals and Heavenly Lords faded a little, and they reluctantly accepted the Emperor's statement.

They understand their own talents and know that even if the road to immortality in the mortal world is completely unblocked one day in the future, even if they follow the steps, it will be difficult to complete eight nirvana transformations, live out the ninth life, and thus ascend to immortality in the mortal world.

If you want to live forever, you have to overcome the calamity of becoming an immortal and walk the path of true immortality.

Generally speaking, the cultivation foundation of immortal beings who are on the path of true immortals is far from comparable to that of mortal immortals. As they are already lacking in talent, the biggest possibility for them in the future is to stop at the late stage of true immortals, or the peak of true immortals.

If one does not encounter an opportunity to attain the king realm, let alone survive the catastrophe of the rules of the heavens, even allowing one's own immortal laws to evolve towards the universe and then bring on some of the king realm's Dao rhyme is like a flower in the water or a moon in the well, which can be seen but unattained.

Now they belong to the universe, and can comprehend the origin of the universe with Xuanhuang merits. This is an opportunity that everyone can see and is expected to help them achieve the king realm of the immortal king. As for whether this is a pie in the sky, they must also gather enough Xuanhuang merits to exchange for this opportunity, open their mouths wide, and take a fierce bite to be truly sure.

In general, although the price is a bit high, they are still willing to give it a try in exchange for the opportunity to become an Immortal King in the future.

Some of the most talented True Immortals and Seventh Generation Heavenly Lords, in today's cultivation environment, were already certain to survive the tribulations of the Heavenly Rules and become Immortal Kings. They had no objection to becoming the Emperor's subordinates, because they could not beat him, and considering many aspects, this was the best choice at the time.

Now that they have completely lost their freedom and belonged to the universe, they absolutely cannot accept it.

Even if some of them are born as holy spirits and the way they practice is closely related to heaven and earth, they are unwilling to have such a deep bond with the universe.

Immortal Taiwu held the tortoise shell, looked at the Emperor, and said softly, "My goal in cultivation is to transcend. Now I am trapped in this world because of the Heavenly Court. No matter what the reason is, it goes against my original intention and will tarnish my heart of Taoism."

Immortal Lingxi glanced at Lord Ming quietly, "When the corpse disaster started, I was the self-proclaimed Supreme, and all my disciples came out to quell the disaster. If it weren't for the Taoist friends who stopped me, I would have broken the seal and come out."

"This is not for the sake of all living things in the universe, nor is it because I cannot bear to watch all living things suffer. Rather, I seek my own way within, and live up to my original conscience. Now I am trapped in the universe, which is not in line with my own way."

Hearing the statements of these two True Immortals, the Emperor's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Under normal circumstances in the Heaven-shading Universe, when encountering something that goes against one's heart or is not in line with one's own Tao, in most cases, one will just deal with it. Either all the things that go against one's heart or are not in line with one's Tao will disappear completely, and one's own Taoism and Taoism will improve, or one will perish and become a pile of ash.

What these two True Immortals said to him was already a silent threat.

But under the current special circumstances, he really couldn't fulfill their wish and slapped them to ashes. After all, they were rare tools, and it would be a waste to kill them. Moreover, these two True Immortals were now the "property" of the will of the universe and could not be easily moved.

There was an inexplicable light in the Emperor's eyes for a moment, and he quietly contacted the will of the universe again, renegotiated, and revised a number of agreements.

In just a snap of his fingers, he said calmly, "If you want to leave [Heaven], you only need to cultivate three top-level True Immortals or one Mortal Immortal to replace you, and you can regain your freedom."

“But once you leave [Heaven], the chance to use Xuanhuang merit to gain insight into the origin of the universe, the luck and momentum of [Heaven] will no longer be open to you. Of course, if you can survive the tribulation of the rules of the heavens and become an Immortal King in the future, you can also break free of the corresponding constraints and regain your freedom without leaving [Heaven].”

The will of the universe can bind the immortals and celestial masters present, relying on the long river of fate created by Xiong Mo and the tributaries of the long river of time. As long as you become a king, you will be at the same level as the universe in terms of status, and this kind of restraint will naturally have no effect at all.

Moreover, the will of the universe would like more of this to happen if a local creature attains the king realm. Even if it is to feed back the fortune of the universe after attaining the king realm, it will not stop it. After the Emperor communicated and negotiated with the will of the universe, some True Immortals and Heavenly Venerables gradually acquiesced to the fact that they belonged to the will of the universe. However, after browsing a series of "normal dispatch" information in their minds, some Heavenly Venerables and True Immortals had some objections.

Zhulong Tianzun took a step forward, looked at Emperor Zun expressionlessly, and said in a serious tone, "Let us go to Primal Chaos to move back the small world that was born naturally, as well as the remnant world that was attacked by the ominous attack. We can accomplish it if we grit our teeth."

"But how do you want us to move back those fragments of the fairyland and the naturally created world?"

Immortal Baihe stepped forward slowly and said to Emperor Zun with a bad face, "Those powerful worlds with an environment for becoming immortals must have produced a large number of immortal beings over the years. At least there is no shortage of top immortals, and there may even be one or two immortal kings."

"Even if we don't mention the possible resistance to the immortal path, just the terrifying size of the heavens and the earth, how can we shake it?"

Wuliang Tianzun had a cold expression and shouted loudly, "Moreover, this kind of 'normal deployment' requires moving back a small world every hundred years, or moving back a large world every ten thousand years. This is simply asking too much!"

"Emperor, we have not yet become kings!"

"Besides, even if an Immortal King were to come, it would be hard for him to complete a mission of this magnitude!"

In response to this, the Emperor had already prepared and cast a series of spells, making all the legendary features of [Heaven] that were omnipresent manifest.

He said calmly, "You just need to find the corresponding heaven and earth in the chaos, and then you can use the method of summoning gods to borrow a ray of light from the [Heaven] itself to bless your magic power, and then you can shake those fairyland fragments and the great world."

"And you only need to shake the heaven and earth and integrate the corresponding immortal laws. As the supreme instrument, [Heaven] can lock these great realms and pull them into the great universe."

"However, the [Heavenly Palace] is, after all, a supreme instrument, and it is not easy to drive. This method can only be used for fragments of the fairyland and large worlds. For those small worlds and remnant worlds, you need to use your own various means to move them, and then use the characteristics of this Heavenly Palace that ignores spatial distance to move them back to the universe."

"By the way, in addition to the fixed offerings, how much Xuanhuang Merit you can obtain in the future is also related to the world you move back to. For example, if you kill the dark creatures in the chaos, you can collect their corpses and the scattered dark matter and throw them into [Guixu]. You can get more Xuanhuang Merit by doing this."
-
Henghai Area, Tianfeng Prefecture.

Li Xiang, who was resting in a cave, was bewildered when he saw the information suddenly revealed to his true spirit.

With an incredulous look on his face, he whispered to himself, "Can the affairs of the True Immortals and Heavenly Lords in the universe be related to me, the Silent Immortal King?"

"I was originally going to use the [Southern Heaven Gate] to travel all over the world to wipe out the Dark Immortal King and eradicate the arrangements that were left behind many years ago. Now I am asked to send the corpses of several specific Immortal Kings back to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths every ten thousand years, and then use the [Return to the Ruins]'s ability to erase them to extract the Immortal King's essence to replenish the essence of the universe?"

"It seems like I'm being forced to compete with the immortal kings in the Henghai area for food."

"Also, why would thousands of True Immortal-level 'part-timers' involve the King Realm? Facing True Immortals who have not comprehended the mysteries of the King Realm, any Immortal King can kill them at will, no matter how many there are?"

"Could it be that the King Realm formation of Yunshan Academy in Hengyuan Realm has been completed, and with the combined efforts of thousands of True Immortals and Heavenly Venerables, they really have the ability to forcibly destroy an ordinary King Realm?"

Li Xiang felt that his incarnation, the "Buddha of Future Nirvana", should know most of the reasons behind things, but the Henghai Area was too far away from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Without relying on the power of the supreme instrument [Heaven], he could not achieve ultra-long-distance memory communication with his current cultivation level.

After thinking quietly for a few minutes, he suddenly noticed something special about this message.

Li Xiang's eyes showed a trace of thought, and he whispered to himself, "It just asked me to collect some corpses of immortal kings every ten thousand years, but it didn't specify whether these corpses came from dark creatures. Uncle Xuanhuang's information is interesting."

"This means that as long as I salvage enough corpses of Immortal Kings from the Boundary Sea, I can successfully complete the mission. I don't have to worry about the hundreds of King Realm in the Eternal Sea getting angry."

Li Xiang's brows suddenly frowned, as if a little confused.

"If I understand correctly, even if I kill the Immortal Kings of Henghai Territory and collect their bodies, it seems that I can complete this 'part-time job' from another perspective?"

Subconsciously, he borrowed a ray of the sword light from the Zhuxian Sword, and used some of the divine techniques in the "Xuanhuang Sutra" that involved cause and effect and fate, raising his own perspective and looking at the Henghai area from a macro perspective close to that of a quasi-immortal emperor.

In an instant, Li Xiang saw dozens of tiny but extremely deep black spots. Looking closely, he also detected a subtle blood color and ominousness.

"This is... dark matter?"

He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the Wutong World Tree that was constantly shedding purifying flames, as well as the network of heaven and earth that was interwoven with countless immortal laws and could block the infiltration of dark matter from the sea of ​​​​boundaries.

"There is no problem with the Immortal Dao Law Network that protects the Heng Sea. So the problem can only be caused by the Immortal King himself."

"The blood-colored Dao rhythm of the king realm also reveals a strange bloody smell in the deepest part. It seems that a certain immortal king has secretly contacted the dark creatures without telling them, or even more horrifying, his own immortal king soul has been secretly replaced by the dark soul."

"It seems that we should take advantage of this period of rest to investigate whether there is any Immortal King in the Henghai Region whose path involves the Blood Path."

Li Xiang dispersed the borrowed light of the Zhuxian Sword and looked at the information emerging from his true spirit with a puzzled expression.

"Why didn't Master Xuan Huang say it clearly, but instead used this method of fate to guide me and let me find out for myself?"

"Involving some unspeakable people or things?"

"Is it the Emperor?"
