A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 701 The Youxiong Clan

At the summit of a desolate mountain shrouded in chaotic clouds.

Yu Shi slowly climbed to this spot, and looked at the boundless Chaos Heavenly Pool before him with a look of awe.

He murmured to himself, "It is all purified from the chaotic energy outside the heavens, transformed into a boundless chaotic heavenly pool. I never thought that such a wonder could exist in the world."

Yu Shi reached out and pinched a wisp of chaotic essence escaping from the Chaotic Heavenly Pool, then melted it into the secret universe within his body, his eyes revealing disbelief.

He exclaimed in amazement, "A wisp of chaotic essence is roughly equivalent to the cultivation I gained in a year of arduous training. What an astonishing fortune!"

"Although I did not comprehend my own 'Sixth Secret Realm', I still lived nine lifetimes in reverse, ascended to immortality in the mortal world, overcame the tribulations of the rules of the heavens, and attained the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King, and can be respectfully called the 'Peerless Immortal King'."

Above Yu Shi's head, a three-leaf sword grass sprouted leaves, swaying and exhaling a wisp of chaotic essence. "A wisp of chaotic essence is roughly equivalent to the cultivation gained by a top-tier immortal king in a year of arduous training. Such a creation is truly astonishing."

The three-leaf sword grass's childlike voice echoed in Yu Shi's mind, carrying a hint of pleasure, "You may not be as fortunate as the chosen ones of the era, but you are still blessed with your own destiny. I am increasingly optimistic about you."

Yu looked somewhat surprised. "Ah, am I not considered a chosen one of this era?"

"But I feel that from the moment I was born, I was already luckier than many so-called promising 'Celestial King' seedlings."

He stretched out his fingers and silently counted, "I was born on the ancient star of Ziwei, which has been managed by two generations of human emperors for nearly a million years. I was born with the qualification to enroll in Ziwei Academy. As long as I am of school age, I can enroll without having to go through the hardship of joining some holy lands and sects."

"With the help of the teachers at the academy, his grades were in the middle to upper range on all the lists. In the Four Extremes Secret Realm, he passed the test of the Sun God Sect and became a true disciple of this immortal lineage, and one of the more core inheritors."

"At the moment of entering the realm of the Immortal Platform, I had an epiphany and entered the Divine Forbidden Zone for the first time. I comprehended a wisp of the true meaning of the Way of Nature and embarked on this path that could lead to becoming a True Immortal. After becoming an Ultimate Emperor, I came to an ancient star in the primordial world and took charge of an ancient human city. I was fortunate enough to meet the God Emperor and formed a friendship with him."

"In the end, he actually entered Funiu Mountain and became a supreme immortal king. Even now, he has not yet collected all the opportunities and fortunes here."

The three-leaf sword grass on Yu Shi's head swayed slightly.

That childlike, innocent voice echoed in Yu Shi's mind once again, "It is precisely because of these opportunities and fortunes of immortality that I say you have a destiny. Do you think that opportunities and fortunes are all innate?"

"No, these are all predetermined, at least within the vast universe, most are predetermined. Opportunities below the Sendai might be innate, without any causal ties. Once the Sendai is involved, it has inevitably caught the eye of certain forces."

"Now that you have attained the supreme status of Immortal King, you only need to use the corresponding Heavenly Secrets method to make calculations, so that you can look back at the long river of time, observe corners of the future, and see those opportunities and fortunes that are likely to take shape at some point in time."

"The Ziwei Doushu, which originated from the ancient Ziwei star, is so famous and mysterious, and it is also extremely compatible with the human race. Moreover, it can use a trace of the human race's great fortune to deduce and calculate. You couldn't possibly not know this. Even if you didn't know it before, now that you've become a supreme immortal king, you should be able to figure it out."

Hearing the slightly doubtful words of the Three-Leaf Sword Grass, Yu Shi fell silent.

As the Three-Leaf Sword Grass looked at the silent Yu Clan, its swaying leaves slowly came to a stop, and it too suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere was incredibly subtle at that moment.

A few breaths later, the Three-Leaf Sword Grass complained, "No way, you've cultivated the Immortal King Dao Fruit to the level of the Supreme Immortal King for tens of thousands of years, and you still don't understand these most basic things?!"

"And if you don't know these 'unspoken rules,' how did you manage to evade the schemes of those powerful immortals and smoothly cultivate all the way to the pinnacle of humanity?"

"Could it be that all along the way, we've only been using the basic resources of the Immortal Dao lineage as our salary?"

Yu scratched the back of his head and said with a hearty laugh, "I didn't just use the basic resources. I'm quite the expert at farming in the Sun God Sect. My harvest each quarter is about 40% to 50% higher than that of my fellow disciples. It not only meets my own cultivation needs but also leaves me with some surplus."

"After a few decades of accumulating merit, you can obtain the contribution to a single immortal cultivation method. After about a thousand years, you can break through to the pinnacle of humanity and obtain the resources to become an ultimate emperor. Isn't that enough?"

The three-leaf sword grass fell silent again, its emotions churning.

After a long while, the Three-Leaf Sword Grass said with a hint of disbelief, "So, you stayed on the Purple Star Ancient Site from beginning to end, just farming, and then you cultivated to the pinnacle of humanity?!"

Yu blinked. "No, sometimes I go to some famous realms in the [Boundary Sea] with some teachers, uncles, senior brothers, and elders through the [Spirit Realm] teleportation array to have discussions and exchanges on the Dao of Nature with the local immortal lineages."

The leaves of the three-leaf sword grass drooped down instantly, as if turning into a puddle of soft mud, spreading on Yu Shi's hair.

Three-Leaf Sword Grass sighed softly, "Yu, I would like to add one more thing to my evaluation of you: your talent for cultivation is truly strong, and your affinity for the Way of Nature is also astonishing, at least stronger than the vast majority of Immortal Kings."

"Also, why didn't you mention to me in the past your experiences with this kind of spiritual practice?"

Yu replied quite naturally, "You didn't ask, and it's not anything special, so why would I need to say?"

The Three-Leaf Sword Grass fell silent for the third time. He finally understood why this guy, and why he had comprehended the immortal laws of plants by observing his own leaves covered with sword marks.

Yu Shi is no ordinary simpleton.

He is a simple-minded person with an extraordinary natural affinity and a cultivation talent that surpasses that of most immortal kings.

In Taoist terms, it would probably be called "the heart of a child"?
Just as the Three-Leaf Sword Grass remained silent, the Yu Clan had already taken out millions of plant seeds from the Life Spring of the Sea of ​​Wheels and planted them one by one on the ground, drawing in the vast chaotic essence emanating from the Chaos Heavenly Pool.

Immediately afterwards, a wooden plow was brought out by the Yu clan, which cast a stream of light containing the mingling of time and creation, covering all the seeds buried in the soil.

In less than a quarter of an hour, tender seedlings, absorbing the carefully diverted chaotic essence, grew rapidly, blossomed, bore fruit, and then withered away, becoming a handful of ashes that merged into the earth, enacting one cycle after another, forming a peculiar dynamic cycle.

As time passed, unique laws rose from these plants, coalescing into clusters that evolved into individual immortal laws. These laws soared into the sky, stretching out before collapsing at a certain limit into a ball of light, forming a supreme-level three-dimensional immortal rune. Under the influence of these three-dimensional runes, the growing immortal plants exhibited subtle shifts, yet maintained consistency with the resulting peculiar dynamic cycle.

This is an evolution, an evolution that approaches a chaotic state from all directions.

Looking at the three-dimensional runes that were condensing one by one, the Three-Leaf Sword Grass said with great interest, "Only a peerless Immortal King like you who walks the 'path of agriculture' could cultivate mortal spiritual herbs into immortal herbs and then use the immortal herbs to evolve your own path."

"A grand gesture, truly a grand gesture. Apart from you, perhaps only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could possess such a vast quantity of immortal medicines."

While staring at the evolving runes, Youyu said with a simple and honest smile, "If I hadn't entered Funiu Mountain, hadn't collected seeds deep in the Hundred Thousand Wild Mountains, hadn't received your guidance from your origin, Sanye, to gain new insights, and hadn't received the chaotic essence provided by this Chaotic Heavenly Pool, I wouldn't have been able to perform the Dao in this way."

"Of course, the most crucial qualitative change is the Chaos Heavenly Pool. A wisp of chaotic essence emanating from it is equivalent to the cultivation of a top-tier Immortal King after a year of arduous training. This is an unparalleled creation that can compress the growth cycle of immortal herbs from ten thousand years to just a few moments."

As soon as he finished speaking, strands of King Realm Dao Essence began to weave within Yu Shi's body, giving rise to hundreds of thousands of different and complete supreme immortal laws. Through this vast accumulation, his cultivation level was propelled to the level of a giant, and he continued to delve deeper into the realm of giants.

The vast essence of plants and trees spontaneously converged to form a celestial king's dojo, condensing all "Tao" and "Dharma" to create one unique creation after another of plants and trees.

The three-leaf sword grass suddenly became energetic, its three sword-shaped leaves swaying in a specific way, resonating with the myriad paths of the heavens.

Less than a moment after You Yu broke through to the Immortal King level, the Three-Leaf Sword Grass also exuded an extremely brilliant life sword intent, which sublimated to the level of the Immortal King level. Following in You Yu's footsteps, it continued to delve deeper into the realm of the giant.

The "Tao" and "Dharma" between the two have never interfered with each other; in fact, they have formed a special complementary relationship in certain aspects, supporting each other and allowing the practice and cultivation to rise in a spiral manner, with the left foot stepping on the right.

"boom!"

A particular bottleneck was broken through, and Yu Shi and San Ye Jian Cao successively rose to the level of supreme giants. They began to slowly restrain their aura, allowing their cultivation to stabilize at the moment of breakthrough.

With a simple smile, Yu Shi said, "The supreme giant has been achieved."

The three-leaf sword grass swayed its branches and leaves, its childish tone filled with joy, "Yes, after becoming an unparalleled giant, one will have the most basic ticket to step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm."

"After leaving Mount Funiu, as long as we work hard to accumulate Xuanhuang merit, we can, like the Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor, ascend the path through the 'Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven' and attain the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm."

Yu nodded slightly, "However, I still want to try and comprehend my own 'Sixth Secret Realm'."

"One of the most recent emperors of our human race, who ascended to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm through the 'Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven,' mentioned during a sermon in the [Spirit Realm] that once one reaches the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm through this illusory 'Sixth Secret Realm,' it becomes virtually impossible to improve one's cultivation level thereafter."

"Moreover, if one wants to sever one's own Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, one can only go through a cycle of reincarnation and sever all cultivation. This is equivalent to the Xuanhuang merit used to break through to King and become Emperor being almost wasted."

"If we can forge our own path and thus become the Supreme Dao Ancestor, that would be the best. Taking the path of the 'Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven' can only be considered a backup option."

The three-leaf sword grass swayed its body, agreeing with Yu's suggestion.

However, the Three-Leaf Sword Grass still wanted to collect Xuanhuang Merit as soon as it left Funiu Mountain, and at the moment when it had collected all the Xuanhuang Merit, it would use the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" to ascend the path, break through the King and become an Emperor, and prove the Dao Fruit of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The Three-Leaf Sword Grass had a clear understanding of its own talent; the Immortal King realm was probably its limit, and it didn't want to force itself to become the Supreme Dao Ancestor. Besides, it wasn't impossible for it to become the Supreme Dao Ancestor in the future, but it would require relinquishing its Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit and all its cultivation.

For beings who have no hope of breaking through to the King or becoming an Emperor, perhaps the best way to evolve is to first reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, then look back on what they have learned and cultivated from the superior cultivation perspective of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, create their own "Sixth Secret Realm," and deduce the corresponding method to break through to the King or become an Emperor.

By using such a clever method, beings who originally had no hope of breaking through to become kings and emperors might have a sliver of a chance to become supreme Dao ancestors.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

The Three-Leaf Sword Grass and the Youyu Clan simultaneously sensed something and instantly turned their gazes toward the Chaos Heavenly Pool, revealing a hint of astonishment.

Within this terrifying Heavenly Lake, a life force gradually "rises" from the deepest depths, heading towards them.

The childish voice of the three-leaf sword grass echoed, "There's actually still life within this Chaotic Heavenly Pool?!"

"Even a wisp of chaotic essence that has dissipated is comparable to a year of arduous cultivation by a supreme immortal king. The chaotic spiritual liquid flowing in the pool is something that even a current supreme giant would not dare to extract and refine, for fear of accidentally bursting himself."

"I thought this Chaos Heavenly Pool was the 'spiritual spring' that Laozi used when he refined elixirs."

Yu Shi's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt. He seemed to have noticed something incredible from the life force that was gradually "rising".

Before he could activate his Immortal King Technique and detect more information, a dazzling cyan light bloomed in the Chaos Heavenly Pool, causing the chaotic spiritual liquid within the entire pool to surge and absorb all the chaotic power.

In an instant, the chaotic power within the entire Heavenly Pool vanished, and a blue lotus, shrouded in chaotic energy, slowly bloomed.

In the brilliant, clear light of creation, a human dressed in simple blue clothing emerged from the blue lotus and plucked it from the lotus.

Youyu blinked and looked at the human who came before him. "I am Youyu. May I ask who you are?"

The human smiled and replied, "Hello, Youyu, I am Youxiong."
