From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

In the Yangshen Universe, the Immortal Martial Arts can transform into billions of beings once one reaches the "Flesh and Blood Derivation" realm, giving each strand of blood and energy its own consciousness and even allowing it to practice different martial arts.

Once one reaches the "Thousand Transformations" realm, the human body can be recombined into 480 million particles, and Xu Xing, as a martial arts master who has taken another step forward, can naturally do all of this.

Therefore, even though he had already devoted some of his attention to guiding the cultivation of every expert above the True Person level, and used some of his divine sense to observe the battle far away in the Earthly Immortal Realm, he still had spare capacity.

In the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, lies the former site of Pingtian Peak.

A clone of Xu Xing, suspended in the sky, his solidified fist intent covered the surrounding area, enveloping the most savage and mysterious places on this ancestral star, searching inch by inch.

According to the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", the Ten Thousand Mountains are a secret realm with the most original features, specially preserved by the Emperor of the Upper Realm.

It not only hides the caves of many ancient immortals, but also remnants of the ancient god era.

In the past, the Heavenly Demon Clan launched a massive invasion of the ancestral star. The divine beasts living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains also rose up in resistance, but in the end they were no match for them and all perished.

The once mysterious and prosperous forbidden zone of life has now become a ruin, scarred and dilapidated.

Now, revisiting this place and seeing this scene, Xu Xing felt a mix of emotions.

With a wave of his right hand, five points of light of different colors condensed on his five fingers, crystal clear and round like bullets, just like the Five Spirit Pearls.

Although he had only seen Young Master Zhao use it once, Xu Xing already understood all kinds of primordial energy in the world, and with the blessing of the "shattering the vacuum" realm, the effect of the restored version was more than a thousand times stronger than the original.

As soon as the Five Elemental Pearls appeared in the world, spiritual light swept across the entire Ten Thousand Mountains, turning the mountains into islands and causing them to boil like the sea.

Immediately afterwards, countless wisps of essence slowly gathered from the earth's veins.

These vital energies were not particularly powerful; some were as thin as a woman's hair, while others were only as thick as vines. However, when they gathered in the sky, they condensed into a slender, shimmering green snake.

The aura of this green snake was only at the level of a Great True Person, roughly equivalent to a Ghost Immortal of the fourth or fifth tribulation in the Yangshen Universe.

Yet its spirituality is extremely active, somewhat like a divine soul created by the Creator, only a thousand times more exquisite in essence. Between the opening and closing of its scales, it constantly exudes a fresh vitality and energy.

This is not the earthly virtue of the Earthly Sovereign, but rather the authority of the Earthly Sovereign as the ancient goddess "Nuwa" before reversing the innate nature—that is, the power of creation.

Although Master Zhu and Young Master Zhao led their people down to the mortal realm this time for the relics of the Earthly Emperor, even these two leaders did not know what these so-called "relics" actually were.

Now Xu Xing knows that this is one of the divine artifacts that Nuwa used to mend the sky when she did it all by herself: the Heavenly Serpent Staff.

Although this divine artifact is incredibly powerful, it is only equivalent to the Panhuang Three Swords and the Tathagata Kasaya of the Yangshen Universe, and it does not reach the level of the King of Divine Artifacts.

Moreover, even the king of divine artifacts was not something Xu Xing could take seriously, so he didn't care about the power of the Heavenly Serpent Staff itself, but was only curious about the information left in it by Nuwa.

The most crucial question is: where exactly is the Underworld Kingdom of Mount Tai?

Although the "Mysterious and Boundless World" was sealed by Xu Xing's magic, and no great supernatural being could interfere with the lower realm, he was, after all, the one who cast the spell, and naturally left a back door.

With the Haotian Mirror present, no matter how far apart Xu Xing's physical body and primordial spirit are, the transmission of information will not be hindered in any way.

Now his primordial spirit has learned from Patriarch Bodhi that although most of the remaining immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court have been suppressed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, there is still a group of exceptionally tenacious individuals who have escaped to this Netherworld and are still putting up a stubborn resistance.

This includes the Heavenly Court's first war god, Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, and the Buddhist sect's first protector after Kinnara, the Victorious Fighting Buddha!
However, in theory, although these two are hailed by both East and West as the most promising juniors to cultivate great supernatural powers, if the Great Celestial Venerable and Wutian were to truly make a move, there would be absolutely no way they could fail to capture them.

Now that Xu Xing has obtained the Heavenly Serpent Staff, he has a vague guess in his mind.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha was formed from the immortal embryo within the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and has a close connection with the position of the Earthly Emperor. Furthermore, the Earthly Emperor's Dao body is hidden in the Underworld Kingdom of Mount Tai. There may be some kind of inexplicable relationship between the two.

Who knows, these two supreme beings might be using this relationship to force out the Earth Emperor's Dao Body, refine it in one fell swoop, and clear away the obstacles to unifying the "mysterious and boundless world".

—In that case, we can’t delay any longer.

Holding the Heavenly Serpent Staff, Xu Xing carefully examined the spiritual essence contained within it and gained some insights. His clone immediately dissipated, transforming into a long rainbow that streaked through the sky and returned to his original body.

Five days later, all the True Immortals, Great True Immortals, and several True Immortals who had died in battle years ago had been resurrected.

Nangong Hen, Qiantang Jun, and other masters of martial arts replenished their depleted qi and blood in a short period of time, opened up eight hundred acupoints, and thoroughly solidified their realm of "fist intent substance," achieving combat power no less than that of an Eight Tribulation Ghost Immortal, that is, a Heavenly Court True Lord.

In fact, when Xu Xing looks back at the martial arts system he created in the past, he can find many unreasonable aspects, the most unreasonable of which is the step of becoming a martial arts master.

The materialization of fist intent at the "Perfect Person" level, if converted, is equivalent to the requirement in the Yangshen Universe that a Fifth Tribulation Ghost Immortal forcibly possess some characteristics of an Eighth Tribulation Ghost Immortal when breaking through to the Sixth Tribulation Ghost Immortal.

Such a leap in understanding is indeed extremely difficult for anyone other than him to achieve.

Since Xu Xing, only Nangong Hen and Qiantang Jun in the Pingtian Sect, with their profound accumulation of ancient divine and demonic knowledge and their unparalleled talent, have been able to take this step.

Among the others, even someone with such profound background as Ning Caichen was trapped before the realm of the perfected, unable to enter.

However, once this is mastered, as long as there are subsequent cultivation methods, one can, like Xu Xing, Nangong Hen, and Qiantang Jun, ascend to the heavens in one step and directly obtain combat power comparable to an Eight Tribulation Ghost Immortal.

True immortals such as Du Guangting and Sima Chengzhen not only made further breakthroughs in their Taoist techniques and began to condense their primordial energy, but also began to try their hand at the path of ghost immortals.

Di Huaiying, the strongest being on the ancestral star, also took this opportunity to transform his years of accumulated strength into combat power all at once.

He not only survived seven tribulations of lightning, but also created things from the void and broke into the circle of the eighth tribulation of lightning, refining his soul into a god and transforming this divine golden body into a "primordial spirit".

Li Yunxian further combined the Immortal Fist Intent with his own purified swordsmanship, cultivating it to a level surpassing even the "Fist Intent Substance," capable of transforming into billions of sword intents.

However, as a price, his physical body and primordial spirit have been integrated into this sword intent, and every time he makes a move, it is equivalent to consuming his own Dao life.

Fortunately, Xu Xing still had a considerable amount of Origin True Seed and Immortal God King flesh and blood left, which was just right for Li Yunxian to make use of.

Li Xiuyuan and Young Master Zhao have also made significant progress, breaking through barriers and reaching the True Lord realm. They have also each comprehended several profound Daoist techniques, greatly increasing their combat power. However, compared to these native True Immortals who have made rapid and rapid progress, these two former Lords with the deepest cultivation are inevitably somewhat inferior.

Besides them, among the disciples of the Pingtian Sect, Ao Zhengrong and Ning Caichen broke through one after another. One of them cultivated to the peak of the Human Immortal realm, and the other survived seven tribulations. Although their Qi Refining techniques were slightly weaker, they both reached the True Immortal realm.

Other great immortals, such as Bai Suzhen and Bie Xiaolou, have all at least climbed to a higher realm and crossed the threshold between immortals and mortals.

By now, the number of True Monarchs in the entire ancestral star alone exceeds the number in one palm. There are also thirty or forty people who are equivalent to the Lords of the Seven Ghost Immortals and the True Immortals who have undergone six tribulations.

With such power, even without the Emperor's presence, no immortal or deity in the Heavenly Court would dare to underestimate them.

But when they came to their senses from the exhilaration of their rapidly increasing cultivation and magical power multiplying several times, even dozens or hundreds of times, in a single day, none of them showed any signs of losing control.

This is not only because the cultivation methods in this world place great emphasis on mind and character, but also because Xu Xing's true form is right beside them.

Even Di Huaiying, who has now become a True Lord, Nangong Hen and Qiantang Jun, who have cultivated the essence of fist intent, or Li Yunxian, whose sword intent reaches the heavens, all have only one feeling when facing Xu Xing.

That is the height of one's power.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more one can sense the power of the person beside them. It is a power that can be felt simply by their existence, without needing any realm, magic power, or supernatural abilities.

On the surface, Xu Xing still maintained his human form, but the 129,600 acupoints in his body were constantly vibrating.

This physical body is not in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth; instead, it uses its own rhythm to interfere with or even change the laws of the universe.

Every powerful being qualified to ascend to the "Realm of Truth" and observe the universe using the laws of nature can clearly see that within a three-zhang radius around Xu Xing, all laws are completely pushed aside.

He built a world within a world, a country within a country, purely with his physical body, independent of the material universe, yet constantly and profoundly changing this world.

In fact, the observations of these powerful beings are still one-sided. If an emperor or a person with great supernatural powers were here, they would be able to clearly see that although Xu Xing has restricted himself to the limit, his influence still extends to dozens of light-years around the ancestral star.

Within this scope, from the movement of celestial bodies to the birth and death of dust particles, all things unconsciously converge towards this state. He only needs a single thought to determine the rise and fall of all living beings.

Although both are at the realm of "shattering the vacuum", Xu Xing has the Haotian Mirror in hand and a profound understanding of the heavens and the world, so his speed of progress is naturally unique throughout the ages.

According to Xu Xing's calculations, even disregarding the Yang God realm, in terms of the level of "shattering the vacuum," he had already surpassed all the god-kings throughout countless eras of the Yang God universe.

In the material universe, such power is enough to be called invincible. However, we must also exclude the Primordial Demon Ancestor who occupies the center of the universe and relies on the Heavenly Demon system to constantly transmit influence to all directions and the eight extremes.

Xu Xing now focused most of his attention on that shadowy figure in the center of the universe, using his fist intent to sense every fluctuation of the Primordial Demon Ancestor's aura.

Although it seems that everything happening in the mysterious and boundless world has nothing to do with this Demon Ancestor, Xu Xing always felt that this one would definitely not remain completely inactive.

The Heavenly Demon System is inherently a symbol of contradiction. The Heavenly Demons trapped within it strive for transcendence. Xu Xing could even say that the ultimate goal of every Demon Lord is to break free from the Heavenly Demon System.

However, this attempt to transcend and seek transcendence, because it aligns with the primordial sacred way, will actually make the entire system even stronger.

From this perspective, the Primordial Demon Ancestor, as the creator of the system and the source of the Heavenly Demons, is the one who is most restricted.

It now appears that in the entire material universe, only the "mysterious and boundless world" can provide the Primordial Demon Ancestor with a method for transcendence.

Even if this Demon Ancestor truly had no thoughts or desires, no relatives or friends, and acted solely according to the Primordial Holy Path, he would never remain indifferent to this.

The only difference is where he will intervene.

The Demon Lord of Wutian is undoubtedly a suitable tool.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He even felt a little nostalgic for the Yangshen Universe.

In the Yangshen Universe, although the Creation Daoist, the Supreme Ancestor, and others each had their own desires, they would not go to extremes to directly destroy the universe. Furthermore, with the Longevity Emperor suppressing the end of time, the overall situation was relatively stable.

This world is quite something. From the material universe to the so-called immortal realm, everyone is an extreme individual, while he, an outsider, has to be restrained.

Enough, enough. If we don't do this, how can we show off the methods of this leader?

Xu Xing stopped looking at the Primordial Demon Ancestor himself, turned around, looked at the row of immortals and gods, and smiled:
"Now that you are all prepared, let's set off now."

Li Xiuyuan stepped forward from the crowd and volunteered:

"Master, I know of a path in the Netherworld. It's quite risky, but extremely well hidden..."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the strange look coming from Young Master Zhao and abruptly stopped talking.

—If they're really that secretive, how were they found?

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was silent, Young Master Zhao was about to speak when Xu Xing shook his head and said calmly:

"No need for that. I'll lead you up first, and once we reach the Six Paths of Reincarnation, we'll split up and act separately."

"You go to rescue people, while I stay outside and make a big commotion to attract outside attention for you."

Before Xu Xing could finish speaking, his figure grew larger and larger. By the time he uttered the last word, no one could even see his full appearance anymore; all they could see was a bluish-green color.

They quickly realized that it was the color of Xu Xing's outer robe that caused the leader of the Pingtian Sect to grow larger; rather, it was that they themselves had shrunk!

Xu Xing made a grasping motion with his left hand, holding a total of fifty-six powerful beings above the True Immortal level. With a flicker of his body, he appeared in the boundless void.

With a wave of his right hand, a rift stretching for miles appeared in front of him, within which chaos was created and primordial energy was generated, with earth, water, fire, and wind surging together, and endless void overlapping and expanding.

Ahead lies the realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation! (End of Chapter)
