Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

Countless beings, whether immortals or mortals, felt the blessings and enhancements from heaven and earth themselves. Their cultivation bottlenecks loosened, their physiques improved, and their lifespans increased!
That joy and power, originating from the very source of the world, touched everyone!

"Long live the Heavenly Emperor! Long live the Holy Emperor!"

It is unknown who uttered the first shout, but immediately afterward, cheers and hymns of worship, like a tsunami, resounded from every corner of the Heavenly Realm of the Thai Emperor, converging into a torrent of faith and aspiration, surging towards the Heavenly Court, towards the Holy Emperor's Palace, and towards that figure who had just survived an unparalleled tribulation and brought earth-shattering creation to the Immortal Realm—Fang Qing!
At this moment, Fang Qing stood in the sky above the Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm. The residual aura of tribulation around him had not completely dissipated, but the vast, immortal, and majestic aura of the first level of the Mythical Realm, "Peering God," was like the rising sun, shining brightly across the heavens, unstoppable.

He succeeded.

Not only did he himself enter the mythical realm, but he also pushed Taihuangtian to the third level of the immortal realm!
Biluo flew to his side, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, but they were tears of joy, and she held his hand tightly.

No words are needed; everything is understood without being said.

Yang Qi, Xuan Ming, Long Zhu Ri and other brothers who had ascended to the heavens, as well as the original civil and military officials of Taihuangtian, were filled with boundless excitement and pride as they looked at the emperor and empress in the sky, who resembled gods.

The surging waves of faith and aspiration, like a tangible golden rain, rose from every corner of the Thai Heavenly Realm, converging into rushing rivers of aspiration. Finally, above Fang Qing's head, they formed a vast ocean of aspiration, constantly churning with devout prayers and fervent worship.

This willpower, pure and fervent, carries the immense fortune and joy generated by the ascension of the entire celestial realm. Its quality and quantity far exceed those of the lower realm by billions of times.

Fang Qing stood at the center of the ocean of willpower, like the god of gods, the king of kings.

He felt the trust, reliance, worship and expectation contained in this immense power of will, but his heart was not infatuated at all; on the contrary, it became even clearer.

These aspirations are the responsibility he bears in protecting and guiding this celestial realm, and also the precious resources that help him climb to a higher path.

He slightly raised his hand and pressed down.

In an instant, the vast ocean of willpower calmed down, but the endless radiance of faith gently shone down on every corner of the celestial realm, nourishing all things.

Biluo nestled beside him, feeling the increasingly unfathomable yet incredibly reassuring aura emanating from him, and whispered, "Qing, the Immortal Realm's advancement is a cause for celebration among all beings. You have just entered the Mythical Realm and have triggered such a cataclysmic event to nourish the heavens and earth; your own consumption must be immense. Why don't you return to the palace to recuperate and stabilize your condition?"

Fang Qing smiled slightly, his gentle yet clear voice resounding throughout the surroundings: "It's alright. This advancement is not solely my achievement, but the result of the united efforts of the entire Taihuang Heaven, and the strong support of all my brothers and ministers. The calamity has passed, and it is a time of renewal and the manifestation of the Great Dao. Today, I will open this altar under this heaven for the billions of cultivators of Taihuang Heaven, to expound the mysteries of mythology, to repay the heavens and earth, and to thank all living beings!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire Immortal Realm once again!

A powerful expert at the Mythical Realm opens a platform to preach!
What an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Especially for cultivators who have been stuck at various levels of the Shattered Realm for countless years, this is like a godsend, more precious than any elixir.

The "Ten Thousand Immortals Square" in front of the Holy Emperor's Palace, along with the countless floating immortal mountains and cloud platforms around it, was instantly packed with cultivators who rushed over upon hearing the news.

Those with higher cultivation levels stood suspended in mid-air, while those with lower cultivation levels quickly secured advantageous positions.

Yang Qi, Xuan Ming, Long Zhu Ri, Gu Po Jun, Wu Tong Tian, ​​Xue Qiang Wei, Han Che, Tai Cang Yi, and other brothers of Fang Qing were arranged to be in the closest positions to Fang Qing, and they were all so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.

They had only recently ascended and their foundations were still shallow. To be able to listen to their elder brother, who was at the Mythical Realm, personally preach was an opportunity that was simply heaven-defying.

Fang Qing and Bi Luo sat side by side on a nine-colored auspicious cloud platform that rose out of thin air in the center of Wanxian Square.

When he spoke, every word seemed to resonate directly in the depths of the soul of every listener, crystal clear and pointing straight to the true essence of the Dao.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name..."

He started by talking about the most basic primordial energy of heaven and earth and the perception of laws, combining his own experience of rising from humble beginnings, going through hundreds of battles in the lower realm, undergoing trials and tribulations during ascension, and finally glimpsing the truth of mythology, explaining things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

He spoke of the inclusiveness and evolution of chaos, the rule and order of the sage king, the domineering power and transformation of the heavens, and condensed his recent insights into the divine into divine sounds and runes of the Great Dao containing supreme mysteries, which he manifested in the void for people to comprehend.

When the story reached its most exquisite part, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and fragrance filled the air.

The laws of the entire Thai Heavenly Realm resonated slightly with his narration, becoming more active and clear.

Countless cultivators listened with rapt attention, their minds suddenly enlightened.

Many cultivators who had been stuck in the Heavenly Realm or the Shattered Realm for countless years felt the barriers that had blocked them for so long suddenly burst open, their auras surged, and they broke through on the spot.

They heard a vision beyond the shattered mythology, gaining a higher level of understanding of their own cultivation direction, comprehension of the laws, and application of power.

Especially Yang Qi and others, who were already exceptionally talented, saw their cultivation levels soar like a rocket under Fang Qing's highly targeted guidance on the Great Dao.

Yang Qi's body was running wildly with the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique. Behind him, there was a faint phantom of an ancient divine elephant roaring to the sky. His aura rose steadily and directly reached the third level of the Shattering Realm.

The Xuanming Empress's Xuanming Frost Qi transformed into a hazy, ethereal image of an ice goddess, and her comprehension of the ice-based laws advanced by leaps and bounds, thus also advancing in rank.

Dragon Chasing the Sun's sword intent soared into the sky, transforming into a blazing sun, breaking through to the peak of the second level of the Shattered Void realm.

Gu Pojun's desolate battle form roared as he stepped into the second level of the Shattered Realm.

Wu Tongtian, Xue Qiangwei, Han Che, Tai Cangyi and others also broke through one after another. Even the worst of them were stable at the peak of the first level and touched the threshold of the second level.

Not only them, but also many exceptionally talented cultivators in the Thai royal realm have gained tremendous benefits.

Several immortal generals and lords who were originally stuck at the Shattered Origin and Shattered Realm levels caught a glimpse of the mystery in Fang Qing's explanation of the mythical "Peering into the Void" realm. Their auras fluctuated, their bottlenecks loosened, and their hopes of breaking through to the mythical realm in the future greatly increased.

As for cultivators at the lower level of the Shattered Realm, the number of those who broke through to the next level was countless.

One sermon lasted for eighty-one days.

As Fang Qing's last Great Dao rune slowly dissipated in the void, and the sermon ended, the overall strength of the entire Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm had increased significantly.

In particular, the quantity and quality of high-end combat capabilities have seen significant growth.

The fortune of the celestial realm has become more concentrated and prosperous due to the enlightenment and breakthrough achieved by everyone working together.

After the sermon ended, all the immortals paid homage, moved to tears of gratitude.

Fang Qing's gaze was drawn to the vast starry sea beyond the Heavenly Realm of the Thai Emperor.

Taihuangtian has been promoted to the third level of the Immortal Realm, bringing a new look, but the surrounding landscape remains unchanged.

Beyond the vast region where the Taihuang Heaven is located, there exist more than a dozen celestial realms of varying sizes, all of which are only of the first rank.

Some of these celestial realms had a relatively good relationship with the former Taihuang Heaven, while others had frequent friction with each other and even secretly coveted it.

Previously, Taihuangtian was only a first-class immortal realm, and its strength was not outstanding, so it could only maintain the status quo.

But now that Fang Qing has ascended to the Mythical realm and Taihuangtian has leaped three levels, possessing overwhelming power, the existence of these neighbors seems somewhat out of place. They should either become potential threats or serve as the foundation for Taihuangtian's further advancement.

"It's time to build a truly strong foundation."

Fang Qing spoke to Biluo beside him, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable determination.

Biluo had long understood Fang Qing's ambition and nodded gently: "With our current strength, integrating the Tiannan Star Region is a piece of cake. However, we need to pay attention to the method and try to avoid unnecessary killing, focusing on subjugation and assimilation."

"Just to my liking."

Fang Qing laughed and said, "A Mythical Realm cultivator shouldn't be slaughtering a Shattered Realm cultivator. Besides, devouring their Immortal Realm origins and merging with their territory's fortune is far more beneficial to strengthening my Taihuang Heaven than destroying them."

With the plan set, Fang Qing didn't delay any longer.

He left Biluo in charge of the Heavenly Court to pacify the internal affairs and handle the various matters arising from the preaching and promotion. He himself, along with Yang Qi, Xuanming, and their brothers whose strength had greatly increased, as well as the most elite troops of the Holy King Army, quietly left Taihuang Heaven.

Their first target was the "Red Sun Immortal Realm," which was the closest, relatively stronger, and had a history of conflict with the old Taihuang Heaven.

This realm is dominated by fire-based laws. Its Immortal Emperor, "Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor," is at the peak of the "Shattered Dao" stage of the ninth level of the Shattered Realm. He also has several powerful figures at the eighth and seventh levels of the Shattered Realm under his command, making him one of the best in the first-class Immortal Realm.

When Fang Qing's team appeared without warning above the Heavenly Court of the Crimson Sun Immortal Realm, the Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor and his powerful subordinates were greatly alarmed.

They had already sensed the terrifying heavenly tribulation and advancement fluctuations from the direction of Taihuangtian, guessing that something earth-shattering must have happened, but they never expected that the other party would come to their door so quickly and so directly.

What made their souls tremble even more was the aura emanating from the leading man in blue robes. It was as vast as the starry sky and unfathomable. Just a glance from him made these peak-stage Shattered Realm beings feel suffocating pressure and fear originating from the level of life itself.

Mythical Realm! The true pressure of the Mythical Realm!

"The Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor,"

Fang Qing's voice rang out calmly, yet it was like a divine decree, resounding throughout the entire Crimson Sun Immortal Realm: "The Taihuang Heaven has advanced to the third level, and I, Fang Qing, have also ascended to the Mythical Realm. I now give you two choices: First, lead the entire Crimson Sun Immortal Realm to submit to the Taihuang Heaven, acknowledging the Azure Heaven Emperor and myself as your masters. The Crimson Sun Immortal Realm will be incorporated into the Taihuang Heaven's territory, and you may retain some autonomy, enjoying the resources and protection of the Taihuang Heaven's third-level Immortal Realm. In the future, you will also have the opportunity to seek the Mythical Realm. Second, I will take action, erasing the Crimson Sun Immortal Realm's resistance and forcibly devouring its origin. The consequences... you should know them yourself."

A blatant display of intimidation, an undisguised and overwhelming force!

The Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor's face was deathly pale. He exchanged glances with his trusted confidants, and they all saw deep despair and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Revolt?

Facing a Mythical Realm expert, their meager strength was tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

The opponent didn't even need to actually make a move; simply suppressing their aura was enough to greatly reduce their combat power.

"By mythology above... Crimson Sun... I wish to lead the entire world to submit!"

The Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor was not a blindly loyal or reckless person. After assessing the situation, he uttered the words of submission with difficulty but clarity.

The powerful figures behind him also lowered their heads, indicating their submission.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, preserving heritage and some interests is the only wise choice.

"A wise move."

Fang Qing nodded.

He waved his hand and unleashed a chaotic mark that entered the Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor's brow. "This is the contract of submission and the location beacon. You shall immediately reorganize the Immortal Realm and prepare for migration. Three days later, I will personally cast a spell to guide the Crimson Sun Immortal Realm to merge with the Taihuang Heaven."

The Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor felt the terrifying binding force contained in the mark and the unparalleled will of the other party. The last trace of hope in his heart was completely extinguished, and he respectfully accepted the order.

To subdue the enemy without fighting.

Fang Qing easily subdued the Crimson Sun Immortal Realm with the absolute power of the Mythical Realm.

With the Crimson Sun Immortal Realm as an example, things went much more smoothly from there.

Fang Qing led his team on a non-stop journey to more than a dozen other first-class immortal realms, with similar processes.

When divine power descended and a choice was presented, the vast majority of the Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm wisely chose to submit after sensing the terrifying aura of the Mythical Realm.

Only two rulers of the Immortal Realm, relying on their special lineage or background, attempted to resist or bargain. However, Fang Qing simply pointed a finger from afar, and the chaotic sword energy swept past, erasing the two stubborn Immortal Emperors, along with their core cronies, from the world, annihilating them completely.

The remaining forces were immediately terrified, knelt down and begged for mercy, expressing their unconditional submission.

Within a month, all sixteen first-class immortal realms submitted to the Taihuang Heaven.

Subduing all realms is only the first step.

Next, Fang Qing is about to undertake an even more awe-inspiring and massive project—to merge all realms and ascend to the Immortal Realm!

He unleashed his supreme magical power, directly grabbing more than a dozen first-class immortals and transporting them to the Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm!
The void trembled, and the stars swayed!
Many celestial realms were captured by Fang Qing and then integrated into the Taihuang Heavenly Celestial Realm.
"Boom!!!"

A Daoist voice, even more magnificent and profound than when he advanced to the third level, resounded throughout every inch of the newly born Taihuang Heaven!
The fusion is complete.

The brand-new Taihuang Celestial Realm has expanded in size by hundreds or thousands of times, and its crystal walls are filled with colorful light of laws.

The structure of the Immortal Realm is more complex and stable, with its internal star fields as vast as the sea and stars as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. The density and quality of spiritual energy have once again reached a new level.

Countless new and higher-level mineral veins, blessed lands, grottoes, and secret realms are naturally born during the fusion process!
Level Four Immortal Realm!

By merging sixteen first-class immortal realms and absorbing the boundless energy of the Tushita Heaven, under the tempering of Fang Qing's mythical realm magic power and the Devouring Heaven Array, the Taihuang Heaven Immortal Realm was ruthlessly promoted from level three to the terrifying level four in one fell swoop!
Level Four Immortal Realm!

This means that this realm is capable of accommodating and nurturing even more peerless powerhouses at the mythical level!
Its vast territory, abundant resources, perfect laws, and prosperous fortune have already placed it among the middle-level immortal realms in the myriad worlds.

Although it is still far from being a colossal fifth-tier entity like the Brahma Immortal Realm or the Hongli Heaven, it is no longer the ignorant and inexperienced entity it once was.

The entire newly reborn Taihuangtian was plunged into utter jubilation and awe. The original citizens of Taihuangtian, along with the newly allied beings from the Sixteen Realms, witnessed and participated in this epic ascension. Their worship and loyalty to "Holy Emperor" Fang Qing and "Azure Heavenly Emperor" reached an unparalleled level.

That vast and boundless power of the will of all living beings was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than when they advanced to the third level!
Everything was wonderful.

Fang Qing sensed that the next realm of the Mythical Realm seemed not far off. (End of Chapter)
