A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 679 The Deity Who Disappeared from the Immortal Emperor's Artifact

With the combined efforts of the three supreme beings and the cooperation of the will of the universe, the secrets of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the secrets of all the heavens and myriad realms, suddenly changed.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth rose, and the laws that could only be glimpsed in the depths of the human realm gradually manifested, bestowing strands of creation, causing countless life star fields to radiate brilliant life essence, and causing various star races to give birth to different special physiques.

In just a few hundred years, various divine bodies, royal bodies, and Dao bodies have become commonplace. If we add in the princes born in this era, as well as grandsons with strong bloodlines or descendants of emperors whose bloodlines have returned to their ancestral form, on average, each ancient life star field has produced more than a dozen such rare geniuses of the human path.

In the vast Starry Sky Human Race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in a single generation spanning only five hundred years, nearly a thousand individuals with innate Sun God Body, Innate Moon God Body, Acquired Moon God Body with bloodline reversion, Undying Golden Body, Overlord Body, and Human King Body have emerged, bringing their birth to a total of nearly a thousand extraordinary talents with renowned physiques.

If we add those born with mortal bodies but possessing extraordinary comprehension who gradually transform themselves, as well as those who specialize in the various arts of immortality such as "alchemy," "array theory," and "talisman theory," the number of "human prodigies" has reached nearly ten thousand.

For a time, within the realm of humanity across the nine heavens and ten earths, countless schools of thought contended.

Countless immortal races, immortal sects, immortal clans, holy lands, and divine lands all unleashed a vitality that astonished even true immortals, giving rise to all sorts of unique and powerful methods, promoting the development of various cultivation techniques, and pushing the entire cultivation era to its peak.

At the same time, the vibrant and dynamic Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, along with the great realms where fortunes were also flourishing, made some Immortal Kings, who were extremely sensitive to fortunes, feel a chill run down their spines.

"The extent of this explosive luck is beyond description, even the most extreme methods of cooking oil over a blazing fire wouldn't be enough to describe it!"

Beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in the chaos, Jiang Chen was operating his Ziwei Doushu, a technique he had gradually perfected by integrating numerous methods of fortune, which was at the level of an unparalleled giant. He was observing the burgeoning fortune of all the heavens and myriad worlds and analyzing the current situation.

Every moment, every minute, terrifying three-dimensional runes were generated outside the Purple Star Robe he wore, transforming into a giant hand of celestial fortune, evolving the meaning of saintly virtue, controlling his own Hidden Moon Dynasty's fortune, driving a portion of the human race's great fortune, and exploring a certain inevitable trend that was about to happen in the future.

"bump!"

A section of a purple-gold three-dimensional rune representing fortune collapsed. Immediately afterward, as if a chain reaction had occurred, one after another three-dimensional runes radiating the power of an unparalleled giant collapsed, aiming to completely tear apart the entire Heavenly Fortune Hand.

"Click. Click, click"

Three crisp cracking sounds echoed from Jiang Chen's body. Within a few breaths, a handful of jade-colored fragments disintegrated into the chaos and were completely assimilated by wisps of chaotic energy.

Jiang Chen shook the Purple Star Robe on his body and sighed softly, "What exactly happened in the future? The backlash is so terrifying that it actually destroyed three of my King-level artifacts that were specifically designed to deduce backlash."

"However, paying such a price that could bankrupt an ordinary Immortal King, even I, a supreme giant specializing in divination, cannot see even a corner of the potential major changes in the future. This is simply too terrifying."

"Won't even Celestial Kings become dispensable cannon fodder in the future?"

Jiang Chen's expression changed. Not long ago, he had obtained a lot of cultivation resources from two friends and forced his cultivation to reach the level of a supreme giant. Now, he was being told that in the near future, the Immortal King realm would most likely fall from the mid-to-high level of combat power and become dispensable cannon fodder.
The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine any further. The only thing he was certain of was that the Candle Dragon, which had "merged with the Dao" of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Four Symbols, would be laughing very, very, very happily in his ear.

Jiang Chen's face darkened slightly. With a determined heart, he sacrificed most of his Xuanhuang merits and all the accumulated origins of the Great Universe, drawing strands of spiritual power from the [Spirit Realm] and controlling them to circulate within the secret universe of his body.

A quarter of an hour later, a special message came from the [Spirit Realm] itself and entered his true spirit.

[The inner universe is largely complete, possessing the potential to transcend to the next realm.]
Promotion method (current estimated value):

1. Sixth Secret Realm: Xuanhuang Outer Heaven (Success Rate: 15%)

2. Spiritual Root Method (Success Rate: 3%)

3. Spiritual Root Technique - Immortal Weapon Branch (Success Rate: 0.4%)

4. The "Years of Life" Method (Success Rate: Less than 0.1%)

5. Sixth Secret Realm - ? ? ? (Original creation, success rate: 0%)

6. Dao Seed Method - ? ? ? (Original creation, success rate: 0%)

7. Heretical Path - ? ? ? (Original creation, mortality rate: 50%)

14. Normalization method (extremely discouraged, mortality rate: higher than 99.99%)
Fourteen different ways to advance from King to Emperor were all listed before Jiang Chen's eyes.

From the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" which has a success rate, to the "Return to One Method" which has no success rate at all and instead has an extremely high mortality rate, all kinds of promotion information that can be passively used in the [Spirit Realm] database have been deduced tens of thousands of times using Jiang Chen himself as a template.

"The fifth and sixth items are because I have not perfected my own 'Sixth Secret Realm,' so there is no possibility of success."

"The seventh point is that the methods of 'heretical paths' are basically about finding loopholes, and there is a chance of directly facing the divine punishment of the will of the universe, so they begin to have the possibility of death."

When Jiang Chen saw the 14th item, his lips twitched slightly, and he complained, "As expected of the 'Return to One Method,' which is known as a 'strange method,' the probability is that anyone who tries to advance using this method will surely die?"

"Well, the mortality rate isn't 100%, so there should still be a glimmer of hope, even if it's just theoretical."

Jiang Chen's gaze was fixed on the first and second items, and he murmured, "So, the final deduction is that if I insist on breaking through to become an Emperor, I can only choose either 'Xuanhuang Outer Heaven' or 'Spiritual Root Method'."

"In that case... wait!"

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered that the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" was said to be able to allow supreme giants to advance to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm without hindrance.

So why is his success rate of advancing to the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" only 15%?

This is rather unreasonable.

As if sensing Jiang Chen's thoughts, the main body of the [Spirit Realm] once again handed him a special set of data and sent it into his true spirit.

[Promotion Method: Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven]
Current success rate: 15%
Appendix: During the advancement process, a massive amount of Xuanhuang Merit or a massive amount of Great Universe Origin can be integrated into the secret universe within the body to increase the success rate to 100%.
Jiang Chen's eyelids twitched slightly, and a strange sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart. What did "huge sum" mean?
There isn't even a specific quantity?

If he wanted to increase the success rate to a considerable level, he probably wouldn't be able to raise this so-called "huge" amount even if he sold everything in his family and plundered all the resources of his own lineage.

No wonder no supreme giant has ever tried to break through to become an emperor using the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven". Besides the unwillingness in their hearts, this "Sixth Secret Realm" that devours Xuanhuang merit and the origin of the universe is definitely one of the important reasons.

Jiang Chen dares to guarantee that the vast majority of supreme giants cannot gather "huge" amounts of Xuanhuang merit and "huge" amounts of the Great Universe Origin to raise the "success rate" to 100%, and ultimately advance to Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a way that is without any risk.

No, even supreme giants who can increase their success rate by another 60% by relying on Xuanhuang merit or the origin of the universe are extremely rare.

"Either, one can spend countless years accumulating merit at the level of an unparalleled giant, relying on the mysteries of the 'Outer Heaven of Xuanhuang' to naturally break through to the next level. Or, one can expend a 'huge' amount of Xuanhuang merit or the origin of the universe to fill the gaps in one's own accumulation, forcibly piling it up to the level of a quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"So this is the 100% breakthrough method. This is really in line with the style of 'Fusheng' Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable."

Jiang Chen sighed, feeling a headache coming on as to how to earn a “huge” amount of Xuanhuang Merit and a “huge” amount of the Great Universe Origin in a short period of time.

Suddenly, the Ziwei Doushu created by Jiang Chen began to operate on its own. Countless three-dimensional runes symbolizing destiny spontaneously gathered in his eyes, flashing with purple-gold light, and guiding his spiritual sense, causing his gaze to be focused on the sea of ​​boundaries.

In an instant, a vast expanse of light, carrying the essence of the primordial universe and resembling the radiance of the source of all things, soared into the sky above the boundless ocean of the world, generating countless artifacts, runes, arrays, and layers upon layers of illusory flames.

These phenomena all carried wisps of light from quasi-immortal emperors, along with an astonishingly profound Dao essence, constantly merging into an extremely ordinary figure, forming an extremely realistic path to supreme power.

A longsword shimmering with dark golden starlight appeared. It was a newly forged supreme weapon. The supreme Dao essence that it emitted transformed directly into a special creation, bursting forth with its own power on this extremely real supreme path. It drew the true spirit of the Golden Peak Immortal King into it and formed a special and comprehensive Dao beacon.

The leap began, and Jiang Chen could see all sorts of past constraints that had bound the beings of the King Realm, materializing and coalescing into special chains that firmly suppressed the Golden Peak Immortal King's "Dao" and "Dharma".

"broken!"

A soft sigh echoed, and everything subsided, the countless strange phenomena falling silent.

Only one supreme Dao Ancestor remained, wielding a dark golden longsword.

Jiang Chen gazed at the figure deep within the Boundary Sea, his eyes filled with shock, and murmured, "Golden Peak Immortal King... no, he should now be called Golden Peak Dao Ancestor. From this day forward, the myriad realms have gained another supreme Dao Ancestor who has paved his own path."

But soon, Jiang Chen's gaze turned slightly surprised and doubtful. "No, why is it this Golden Peak Dao Ancestor who was the first to advance to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm?! Before his advancement, wasn't he a Celestial King who specialized in forging and refining weapons and belonged to the logistics category in the Henghai Region?!"

"A Zhulong Heavenly Venerable who can only guard the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a future Buddha of Nirvana who is subject to the suffering of the myriad worlds, a weapon immortal who has attained the supreme realm by refining a supreme weapon, and now a Dao Ancestor who has attained the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm by refining a supreme weapon."

"It seems that none of the four supreme beings specialize in combat, and they don't seem to be very good at fighting. I have a feeling that something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

Jiang Chen began to carefully examine the information he possessed and recalled the scene of the King becoming Emperor that he had observed from afar using the Ziwei Doushu (a Chinese astrological system).

Immediately, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"My memory became abnormally blurred when Dao Ancestor Jin Feng summoned that supreme weapon."
-
Deep in the border sea.

A massive, illusory portal silently descended, radiating a terrifying aura of Dao, shielding it from outside prying eyes and concealing the information within.

Jin Feng Dao Ancestor raised his head, "South Heavenly Gate"

He frowned slightly and murmured, "The End of the Road only appeared after I was resurrected by the Immortal Emperor. Why is it here? Shouldn't it have accompanied the Mythical Heavenly Emperor, far away from the Boundary Sea?"

"And why does this portal look somewhat dilapidated?!"

Jin Feng Daozu's expression was somewhat uncertain. There was a problem with the South Heavenly Gate. This matter could be big or small, but even the least implicated aspect was that the Emperor's power was beginning to decline.

Normally, any powerful immortal with remaining strength would pay attention to their own image, and the Southern Heavenly Gate, as part of the Heavenly Court, is undoubtedly the image of the Mythical Heavenly Emperor. But when this immortal emperor no longer values ​​it...
"Could it be the content that the Future Buddha of Nirvana and the others did not tell the kings before?"

"Such a terrifying matter, which even Quasi-Immortal Emperors are helpless against, was known to the Kings before the great upheaval. It can only add unnecessary pressure and affect their subsequent cultivation."

Jin Feng Daozu's expression hardened slightly as he stepped into the manifested illusory image of the [South Heavenly Gate].

In an instant, he seemed to see billions of different array runes twisting, countless three-dimensional runes converging and splitting, and fragments of countless rules and logic flying around. All the heavens and myriad worlds seemed to be broken, becoming an empty ruin.

But just as Dao Ancestor Jin Feng was shocked and wanted to see more clearly, everything seemed like a dream, vanishing into nothingness. He was already standing behind the South Heavenly Gate, and before him was the Heavenly Court, which had been reduced to ruins and bore the terrifying marks of countless battles.

He murmured to himself, "How is it possible that the Heavenly Court has been reduced to ruins?"

Jin Feng Daozu subconsciously took a deep breath, gathered his chaotic thoughts, raised the supreme weapon in his hand, cleaved through the remnants of Dao techniques that threatened even the supreme Daozu, bypassed the traces of endless attacks, and began to walk towards the central Lingxiao Palace of the Heavenly Court.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the center of the Heavenly Court and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the Lingxiao Palace was somewhat damaged, it was not completely shattered. As the supreme Dao Ancestor who specialized in weapon crafting, Jin Feng could sense that there were still strands of special array patterns running in an orderly manner.

However, when Dao Ancestor Jin Feng arrived inside the Lingxiao Palace, his expression changed instantly, and his eyes revealed shock.

The Imperial Cauldron was right before his eyes, constantly in operation, and appeared to be in perfect condition.

However, the deity within this Immortal Emperor artifact has vanished.
