From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

"Xu, Master Xu?!"

Although Fahai and the others had a vague premonition after seeing the familiar moonlight, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation when they saw Xu Xing reveal his true appearance.

Fahai, unable to contain his emotions, exclaimed in surprise.

"Step on the law! You, what are you doing...?"

Upon hearing this name, Li Xiuyuan and the others understood Xu Xing's identity, knowing that he was the Martial Ancestor who had pioneered the martial arts path, single-handedly quelled the demonic scourge, and even perished together with the spirit of the Demon Lord Wutian.

But even if this person didn't die, how could he have become so powerful in just twenty years?

What is his relationship with Devanati?

Could it be that in the past twenty years, this Martial Ancestor actually belonged to the Primordial Demon Ancestor, and is now just a shell?

There were quite a few immortals who thought this way, and even Fahai and Di Huaiying couldn't help but have some doubts.

After all, Xu Xing's progress was simply too terrifying. He had only taken twenty years to cultivate from a mere True Immortal to a level comparable to or even above an Emperor.

What does twenty years mean? For many true immortals, it's not even enough for one enlightenment or one treasure refinement.

But if the other party truly intends to join the demonic path, why go to such lengths?

Thinking of this, Di Huaiying and the others felt a little relieved.

But after slowly walking around and looking around, he still couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Du, what about the Dragon King of Dongting Lake and Master Shenxiu...?"

Before Xu Xing could even ask his question, Di Huaiying stepped forward from the crowd, shook his head at him, and sighed deeply.

In this war that has lasted for more than ten years, the cultivators of the ancestral star have paid far too high a price.

Du Guangting, Long Jun, and Master Shenxiu were already seriously injured in the great battle twenty years ago. Before they could recover from their illnesses, they encountered the attack of the Heavenly Demons. So they simply abandoned their sick bodies and rushed into the demonic tide, sacrificing themselves heroically.

Besides these three, Nangong Hen, who had mastered the Yin and Yang energies of his birth chart and reached the realm of the Supreme Being, also died in battle.

Among the powerful Grandmasters, Ning Caichen, Liu Yi, Ao Qingqi, and Li Guizhen of the Pingtian Sect, Minyue and Yaoxing of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, Palace Master Zeng of the Kanglong Palace, and several Celestial Masters from the Daoist side also perished one after another.

From them downwards, countless other True Immortals died or were injured, with nearly half of them being powerful figures from the Pingtian Sect.

Since his primordial spirit left his body, although Xu Xing retained the power to "shatter the vacuum" thanks to his "lawless and thoughtless" state, he could no longer know everything under the world with a single sweep of his divine sense as before.

So even though he thought that these old friends on his ancestral planet might have suffered calamity, when he actually learned the truth, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and his face became as cold and hard as iron, completely silent.

In fact, if it weren't for martial arts, a convenient and quick path that allows one to advance in battle, the ancestral star might have already been taken over by the Heavenly Demons.

It was in this environment that Nangong Hen and Qiantang Jun broke through the shackles and reached the level of martial arts masters.

Although Di Huaiying was communicating through divine thought, he was filled with emotion at this point and found it difficult to continue.

Among the crowd, Xu Xian, who had initially felt his cultivation was insufficient and was standing at the back, stepped forward when he saw Xu Xing remain silent for a long time and said in a deep voice:

“Master, the brothers in the sect have not forgotten your teachings.”

Only then did Xu Xing raise his head, as if waking from a dream, and give Xu Xian a smile, nod, and say in a hoarse voice:

"You have done very well."

Fighting against enemies a thousand or even ten thousand times their size, and defeating them multiple times, they inflict unparalleled casualties and have slain countless demons. What other sect in the world could achieve this?
Hearing these words and feeling the sincerity in his master's words, Xu Xian, though now a highly accomplished immortal, was still unsettled and his eyes filled with tears.

Di Huaiying, Fahai, and even the most unruly Qiantang Jun all lowered their heads, speechless.

Although they knew that the Heavenly Demon Clan was a powerful enemy that even the combined might of their ancestral star could not defeat, and that their achievements were something to be proud of, no one could feel joy in the face of such a huge sacrifice.

The three True Immortal level experts, in particular, found it even more difficult to face Xu Xing.

After all, if it weren't for the Pingtian Sect Leader stepping forward in that battle, the entire ancestral star would have ceased to exist. Both morally and logically, they should have risked their lives to protect the Pingtian Sect's lineage.

However, in this battle, the warriors of the Pingtian Sect have still paid the highest price and made the greatest sacrifices. From top to bottom, everyone has been risking their lives and fighting bloody battles.

In the end, it was still this leader of the Pingtian Sect who descended from the heavens and decisively intervened to quell this calamity.

That's why the three of them felt quite ashamed.

Xu Xing knew what they were thinking, but he wouldn't speak rashly and add insult to injury for his three friends.

Gazing at the vast sky, all 129,600 acupoints on his body suddenly opened up, capturing every wisp of energy, every trace of soul, and the imprints left by everyone inside and outside the ancestral star.

After a moment, he let out a long breath and sighed:
"so far so good."

Fortunately, everyone died in battle on the ancestral planet, leaving a deep enough mark on the world before their deaths.

In the Yangshen Universe, every powerful being who shatters the vacuum has the ability to gather thoughts and collect souls for others, and even revive the deceased.

In the original work, Hong Xuanji mentioned more than once that once he shattered the vacuum, he would resurrect his son, wife, and confidante who were killed by Hong Yi.

Although Xu Xing has separated his primordial spirit, his physical strength is still unparalleled. In terms of cultivating "shattering the vacuum" alone, even the Immortal God King is far inferior, and only the Longevity Emperor can compare.

As everyone watched, Xu Xing took a step forward and pulled with his right hand. Suddenly, faint, ethereal light appeared on the ancestral star. This light converged into a long river that stretched across the sky, as if it had cut the entire ancestral star in half.

In this long river, countless figures emerge again, those fallen heroes who perished in the demonic tide, yet left their mark on heaven and earth with their spirits!

The leader, with a face that was half black and half white, his long robe fluttering in the wind, and holding a yin-yang fan, remained aloof and arrogant despite his unsteady stance. It was none other than Nangong Hen.

Behind him were several True Immortal experts, as well as a group of Great True Persons and True Persons. As for cultivators with lower cultivation levels, even with Xu Xing's methods, they could not be summoned back.

Even so, this scene was still shocking enough. Among the crowd, Li Xiuyuan, who had the most extensive knowledge, had his eyes wide open, his expression filled with disbelief.

In his understanding, after a person dies, if the soul is intact, it can be reborn in the underworld. However, if the soul is scattered, not even an emperor or a great supernatural being of the Heavenly Venerable level can save it.

But how do we explain this current situation?!
In fact, this is due to the difference in the fundamental cultivation systems of the two worlds.

The teachings passed down in this world by the Taoist Master and the Buddha emphasize different aspects: one emphasizes Qi (vital energy), and the other emphasizes consciousness. Both regard the physical body and even the soul as external things, serving as the foundation for cultivating "fundamental Qi" and "consciousness."

The cultivation of the Yangshen Universe is purely an extension of the two dimensions of the soul and the physical body. After reaching the Yangshen and Shattering the Void realms respectively, the soul can be as stable and powerful as the physical body, and the physical body can also undergo changes in the soul.

The most obvious point is that, in the eyes of a powerful being who has shattered the vacuum, both the ethereal divine thoughts and the indescribable fundamental laws are things that can be directly touched by the physical body.

In Xu Xing's eyes, divine thoughts are indestructible. Even if the so-called "soul is scattered," it is just a separation. As long as they are recombined in a specific way, the person from before can reappear in the world.

Xu Xing took a deep breath and took out drops of essence blood and crystal seeds from the acupoints of his body. He flicked his fingers and continuously injected these spiritual items into the gradually merging divine objects.

This is the life essence of the Immortal God King, and the secondary true seed from the Origin Island of the Creation Daoist.

Although Xu Xing used most of his gains from the Yangshen World to refine divine artifacts, he also kept a portion as a "gift" for Di Huaiying and the others after returning to this world.

Now, using it to gather the spirits of the deceased is a way of making the best use of it.

But as soon as these spiritual materials were taken out, the terrifying power they contained caused many True Immortals to retreat more than ten miles. Only Li Xiuyuan remained standing in place, his eyes shining.

This disciple of the Great Emperor Baosheng was a person with innate wisdom, extremely profound medical skills, and was well-versed in all kinds of herbs, yet he had never seen such a strange and powerful spiritual creature.

This blood seems to have come from some kind of innate deity, but all the innate deities in this world are cultivated through Taoist practices, with "fundamental qi" as their source, so where would their blood come from?
As for this seed, it is even stranger. Its vigorous and exuberant vitality is as if it is trying to create a world within a mustard seed, similar to the "fundamental energy" of the emperors, but without any personal characteristics. It is more like something created by heaven and earth.

Such divine objects could only have been obtained in the primordial chaos before the separation of heaven and earth. Where in this world today could such an environment come from?

Is it possible...

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan already had an idea in his mind.

Before returning to his ancestral planet, this person personally killed two extraordinary innate deities and refined the fundamental energy of one of them into this form?!
Just as Li Xiuyuan was pondering, another Xu Xing emerged from his acupoint. He looked at the assembled True Immortals, sat cross-legged, and leisurely said:

"Those two in the upper realm have been stopped by my primordial spirit and are temporarily unable to interfere with the lower realm."

"Taking this opportunity, I plan to delve into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to rescue those suppressed immortals and gods, and then launch a counterattack on the Earthly Immortal Realm, sweeping away all its inhabitants. Could you all lend me a hand?"

Li Xiuyuan was extremely knowledgeable about the affairs of the Upper Realm. He was first surprised, then delighted, and finally frowned, saying:
"Master Xu... are those two truly unable to descend to the mortal realm?"

Li Xiuyuan was now certain that this cult leader was fully deserving of the title "Celestial Venerable," but to say that he could single-handedly hold off two supreme beings from the East and West was... well...

Xu Xing said directly:
"There is also a group of rogue immortals fighting alongside this sect leader."

—Although they did it against their will.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's eyes revealed a look of understanding, and he added:
"However, there are also powerful figures guarding the Six Paths of Reincarnation. With the current abilities of the sect leader, it would probably be difficult to forcefully break through."

Xu Xing nodded and said:
"That's why I need your help. I can handle these powerful figures, but the remaining True Lords and Prefecture Lords will have to be left to you."

Xu Xing could sense that there were several powerful beings in the Earthly Immortal Realm who were equivalent to the Yang God Realm, and whose stance was biased towards the Buddhist Kingdom and the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, he needs to train a group of people to infiltrate the Six Paths of Reincarnation while he is fighting against these powerful beings, and complete his plan.

With a flick of his right hand, Xu Xing extracted another drop of essence blood.

"I estimate that we will only be in the lower realm for a month at most. During this month, I will do my best to train you and help you at least advance one major realm."

The cultivation system in this world, due to its strong connection with the "Realm of Truth" and the "Mysterious and Boundless World," places great emphasis on comprehending the "Principles of Law" and the "Way of Heaven."

Therefore, even emperors and celestial beings cannot force growth, but the cultivation system of the Yangshen Universe is different.

With enough resources, one can quickly build up combat power, whether following the path of a ghost immortal or a human immortal.

Although the True Immortals present were only roughly equivalent to Six Tribulation Ghost Immortals in terms of combat strength, under the blessing of the Realm of Truth, their comprehension of the Dao was already at the standard Creator level.

Li Xiuyuan even has the potential to refine his soul into a god, condense his physical body, and even cultivate into a human immortal in a short period of time.

While they were talking, five or six Xu Xing emerged from their body acupoints and came before each True Immortal, beginning to impart their insights gained from the Yangshen World.

Whether it's Taoist arts, demonic techniques, martial arts, or Buddhist teachings, Xu Xing can handle them all with ease now. Teaching true immortals would be a piece of cake for him.

Just as Xu Xing was actively preparing for battle, in the material universe, infinitely far from his ancestral star, on the outer edge of the star system where he had previously fought against Devanata.

The boundless void collapsed, revealing a huge wormhole, and a strange, colossal ship suddenly burst through the air and arrived.

The giant ship stretched for over 100,000 miles from bow to stern, and was no different in size from a planet. Its overall color was dull and deathly blue, and it looked as if it were a mixture of evil creatures and inorganic metal.

The bow is a blunt ram, possessing the domineering power to easily shatter giant planets. It is equipped with several super-powered main cannons on each side, and its body is covered with countless swaying tentacles and sharp horns, making it truly vicious and ferocious.

"Hmm, so Devanatina has fallen in this remote star system?"

An extremely burly, ancient ferocious demon, clad in hideous demonic armor, stood atop this colossal ship.

The behemoth clenched his fists, his fierce and demonic aura resonating with that of his mount, constantly unleashing wave after wave of dark blue turbulence that swept across the star field. His eyes blazed with intense, ever-present flames.

"good very good!"

He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, his smile menacing.

"No wonder that old Jade Emperor was so nervous; he's such a powerful figure. It wasn't in vain that I personally made this trip!" (End of Chapter)
