A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 713 Six Desires in Heaven
As Xiong Mo looked at the scene, a peculiar interest rose in his eyes.

Looking up, a plaque bearing the inscription "Red Flame" hangs high above the city gate, exuding a subtle sense of creation and destiny.

The creatures of various forms, following certain rules and special regulations, constantly enter and exit, presenting a majestic sense of order.

Among them, the demon race is the most numerous. They are mostly incomplete in human form, with some special "edges" remaining on their bodies as unique marks of their race.

Next came the innate beings whose forms were almost indistinguishable from those of humans. They carried a light and ethereal aura, with drops of the world's fortune and destiny gathered between their brows, and were surrounded by special fluctuations of the laws of nature. Their numbers approached one-tenth of the demon race.

Among the many innate beings, there are occasionally a few ordinary humans whose extraordinary power is so weak that it is almost non-existent. From time to time, one or two souls that have cultivated yang-type magic power will appear, as well as strange demons with black aura emanating from their bodies.

"It is truly rare for humans, gods, ghosts, demons and monsters to live together and still follow a certain order, without even small-scale chaos."

This wasn't maintained by some extraordinary power of creation, but rather by the heartfelt efforts of the residents of "Crimson Flame City."

This convergence of the masses' will generated a more special power of will, which directly affected the city, making the order that humans, gods, ghosts, demons, and monsters all abide by stronger and able to operate more stably.

"A new Great Way. A unique branch evolved from the 'Human Way' in the Three Powers of 'Heaven, Earth, and Man'. It is a Great Way created after birth, and its specific mysteries and strength have reached the level of perfect creation."

"To create and attain enlightenment through this method?"

"That's interesting."

"Moreover, there seems to be something more intriguing about it."

Xiong Mo's gaze penetrated the mysteries of this acquired path, exploring the secrets of time and destiny, and tracing back to its founder, where he saw the Fire Emperor residing in a blazing palace.

At the same time, he also saw the Fire Emperor's gaze and the astonishment in his eyes.

Looking at the Fire Emperor, who was "close at hand" and whose expression was gradually becoming wary, Xiong Mo smiled slightly and waved his hand in a friendly manner.

Then, under the increasingly astonished gaze of the Fire Emperor, following the rules of "Crimson Flame City," he used the method of creating something from nothing to hand over a copper coin containing special Dao Qi. Under the watchful eyes of the guards, he entered the great city and blended into the "crowd."

In just three breaths, Xiong Mo's aura completely vanished, becoming no different from an ordinary innate being, and he became a member of the mortal world, disappearing into the Fire Emperor's perception of the past and the future possibilities he observed.
-
Inside the palace, filled with flames and the essence of the sun.

The Fire Emperor's entire body vibrated silently, and strands of dazzling golden crimson flames exploded from his body. The power of the Great Dao of Fire surged up, causing a momentary clash with the power of the other seven illusory Great Daos. Time and destiny were disrupted on a small scale, like a crumpled piece of paper.

"Crack!"

A clear, crisp voice rang out beside the Fire Emperor.

The throne where the Fire Emperor sat had terrifying cracks appearing on its armrests, which were made of hard divine wood. Hundreds of array patterns were faintly visible and disappearing from the cracks.

This loss of control lasted only a moment. Immediately afterwards, all the damage and the destruction that erupted out of control were gathered back and reversed by the Fire Emperor.

Inside the main hall, it was as if nothing had happened.

However, the dozens of powerful beings with extraordinary abilities in front of the Fire Emperor could not pretend that nothing had happened.

The power unleashed by the Fire Emperor, even for a fleeting moment, was far too great; it was the combined force of eight perfected illusory Great Daos.

Several powerful beings who had ascended from the Legendary Realm to the Creation Realm less than a million years ago had flushed faces, churning blood and qi, and their primordial spirits were experiencing a slight burning discomfort. They needed to use their own illusory Dao to repair the minor internal injuries they had suffered.

The Great Sage of Winged Fire looked at the Fire Emperor and asked directly, "Your Majesty, what has happened?"

"You lost control just now. What unusual thing did you see?"

"I cannot make detailed deductions; all I can come up with is the word 'Crimson Flame'."

The Great Shaman of the Fires slightly shook the spear in his palm. "Red Flame... is it a large city located on our border?"

The great shaman took out a tortoise shell that emitted a faint blue light of creation, and ignited it with his own illusory path that leaned towards destruction, resulting in a symbolic engraving that made His brow twitch.

"Someone merges into the mortal world, transforming into all living beings and spirits. Who is this great supernatural being who has actually hidden himself within the rolling karma and destiny?"

"A single move can affect the whole situation. To pinpoint the whereabouts of this powerful being, we must calculate the existence of all beings within our country who are subject to the laws of creation."

The Great Shaman of Fire looked grim; trying to settle scores with all beings under creation was simply asking Him a difficult task.

This is the Realm of Truth. Every being born in the Realm of Truth has a projection of themselves in various fragments of cosmic light. It would take an ordinary great being at least a breath to calculate a mortal being clearly.

The process of enlightening the Dharma body of others is even more troublesome, requiring several times the time. Those who have enlightened many projections of others and are preparing to break through to the legendary Celestial Immortal realm have even more trouble. The legends left in the fragments of cosmic light and the various ways of enlightening others are so numerous that it would take dozens of snaps of the fingers to calculate them all.

As for the legendary powerful beings, it's actually better that way, because their true forms can be directly locked onto through their true spirits located at infinite heights. However, this will inevitably cause them dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing the conclusion of the Great Shaman of Fire, the faces of the powerful beings present turned somewhat pale.

This is more than just making things difficult for the Fire God.

It's clear that even they are being put in a difficult position.

The Great Shaman of Fire and the Great Sage of Winged Fire were, after all, great masters of creation who had existed for a long time. Even though they could not make up for their various shortcomings through the illusory path they cultivated, they had sought out, forged, or been given divine weapons of creation with different uses, thus indirectly making up for their deficiencies.

However, apart from these two powerful individuals, the rest of the great supernatural beings all have some shortcomings in deducing heavenly secrets. Even if they work together, they would be exhausted to the point of near death if they wanted to complete such a "vast" task.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, the Fire Emperor interrupted the thoughts of all his subordinates present.

He shook his head. "There's no need to deduce the identity of this great master who has merged into the mortal world. I know his identity; he is the Mystic Lord of Nanshan."

The Winged Fire Great Sage's eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion. "Is this the great supernatural being who, at the peak of the legend, even left the Great Eagle Great Sage of Zhongshan helpless?!"

"What brings this person from Nanshan to our country?"

The Great Shaman of Fire muttered, "Who knew that he would be born at the pinnacle of the legend, with extremely strong life-saving abilities and a strong connection to the great Dao such as time and destiny?"

“You are all familiar with that battle. Not only was the Great Sage of the Great Eagle unable to kill this Mystic Lord, but he was also exhausted and almost became a laughing stock in the myriad realms.”

"In such a short time during the early stages of this era, this Xuanjun attained the Creation Realm and even reached perfection. With such talent and such an unpredictable speed of cultivation, who can fathom what he was thinking?" Behind the Great Shaman of the Fire, a powerful being with a fire-feathered raven perched on his shoulder, whose physique was as rugged as the Great Shaman's and whose temperament was barbaric, lowered his head in thought. After a few breaths, he seemed to have a sudden realization.

He spoke, “Didn’t the Great Shaman Huilu say that this Mysterious Lord has already achieved perfect enlightenment? In the current environment, no one who has met the conditions for enlightenment will not think about going to the other shore. He came to our country, most likely to find some resources that can help him achieve enlightenment.”

Beside this powerful being, a great shaman shook his head.

"Whether it is a newly created creation that has accumulated less than an era is something that anyone can see on the surface, but the key point is not there at all."

"What we are more concerned about is what kind of impact this Mystic Lord will have on us, and whether he will interfere with His Majesty's future path to enlightenment."

Everything else can be put aside.

These powerful beings could not gain the approval of the divine weapons of the other shore. Only by following the Fire Emperor for several eras could they obtain the approval of a projection of the other self in the Taiji Diagram. They are among the most promising powerful beings in all the heavens and myriad realms to attain the other shore.

If the Fire Emperor fails to attain enlightenment due to unknown interference, their lives and possessions will vanish like a dream in the final calamity.

No one with great supernatural powers would intentionally seek death when there is a chance to live.

The powerful beings in front of the Fire Emperor exchanged glances, immediately sensing the predicament.

"Does our country have anything that can help us reach the other side of the path?"

"Besides the Taiji Diagram projection controlled by His Majesty, is there anything else?"

"But this is not an opportunity to attain enlightenment and reach the other shore, but a way out when there is no hope of surviving the final tribulation, a choice with no other option."

"But we can't deny that His Majesty's [Tai Chi Diagram] projection of himself and others also contributes to the normal perfection of creation, right?"

"."

Voices rose from the hall, and the Fire Emperor frowned deeply.

As His subordinates said, within the kingdom, the king himself was not afraid of this mysterious lord, but worried about the purpose of his coming here.

A powerful being with unknown motives is like a hidden bomb lurking in the shadows.

Once it explodes, the consequences are unpredictable.

At this moment, the Great Sage of Winged Fire said to the Fire Emperor, "Your Majesty, although the cultivation resources we have obtained at the Other Shore level are only a projection of the [Tai Chi Diagram], which you keep safe at all times, there are still quite a few other cultivation resources at the Creation level and the Legendary level."

"For example, after refining the entire territory, one can make a legendary being perfect and instantly attain the 'near-the-Dao place' of the Creation Realm."

The Fire Emperor was taken aback; he had never considered such a unique angle.

However, is this possible?
With a hint of hesitation, the Fire Emperor looked at the Winged Fire Great Sage and said, "I can tell you very clearly that this Mystic Lord's understanding of the 'Dao' has exceeded the limits of a Great Divine Power, and he seems to have entered a higher realm."

"Does someone who, theoretically, is closer to the other shore than I am, a master of creation and supernatural powers, still need these opportunities at the level of creation?"

The Great Sage of Winged Fire shrugged, the phantom of the winged fire serpent swirling around him. "Perhaps, maybe... Your Majesty, didn't he just attain the Perfection of Creation?"

"This may mean that his own foundation is relatively weak, and he needs more 'law' and 'reason' to accumulate a vast foundation for attaining enlightenment."
-
Inside a restaurant in Crimson Flame City.

Xiong Mo looked at the food that had been served, rubbed his hands together, picked up a meatball with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and squinted his eyes slightly.

"Mmm, the pork is firm, the sauce is thick, and it's very smoky. The flavor is just right."

"It's the taste of everyday life."

Xiong Mo sensed a wisp of worldly desire rising within him. He gazed into the distance, looking at the Great Sage inside the hall, whose body was entwined with winged fire serpents, and gave a light hum.

As expected of a being with extraordinary abilities who could establish a kingdom and fulfill the duties of a "prime minister" to govern it, their guesses are indeed very accurate.

Or rather, their intuition is extremely sharp.

From a certain perspective, he has indeed only recently attained enlightenment and his foundation is severely lacking. He urgently needs to replenish and accumulate knowledge and skills, and he needs the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth flowing within the "place of near-the-Dao" to help him attain the other shore.

However, it's not as simple as they mean.

Xiong Mo picked up a slice of fish that had been drizzled with hot soy sauce, put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed it, savoring the worldly charm within.

He murmured to himself, "I have already cultivated the Illusory Dao Fruit. If I make up for what the Illusory Dao Fruit lacks, it is very likely that the Illusory Dao Fruit will transform into the prototype of the Dao Fruit, and I can be called an ancient one, possessing the qualifications to seek emptiness through reduction."

"Three Dao Fruits in their early stages, and if all goes well, there will be four. The resources required are quite a lot."

Xiong Mo picked up his rice bowl, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and his eyes became even more worldly.

The appearances between heaven and earth, under the influence of the mortal world, slowly fade away, revealing the deepest "law" and "reason," as well as a hazy portal formed by the rolling red dust.

"crash"

Strands of Daoist Qi flowed down from this portal, carrying a blue glow and exuding a vibrant energy that was both ethereal and imbued with the essence of the mortal world.

A suspended sacred mountain appears and disappears behind this gate, filled with countless vast divine energies. At its highest point, it is adorned with wisps of ethereal and mysterious energies such as Primordial Azure Energy, Azure Sky Energy, and Azure Sun Energy, overflowing with countless sacred Dao radiances, converging into a thick, primordial azure dome.

Xiong Mo could sense that there was no noise here, only the sound of Taoism, the fragrance of incense, and the worldly desires, or rather, the mortal world.

He picked up a pink fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, condensing a wisp of worldly energy once again, which flowed into his body.

In an instant, the door that had been vaguely appearing became clearer, and the world beyond the door seemed closer to him.

"Only cultivators with worldly desires are allowed to enter. The condition for entry is that one must at least attain the legendary status. In this era where humans, gods, demons, ghosts and monsters coexist, it is quite demanding."

"The closest place is the Six Desires and Heaven."
