My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 219 The Realm of Banhu Appears, the Heavenly Dao Conceals

The Twelve Heavenly Gates is an extremely mysterious place.

Because the time was not yet right for him to be born, he had been holding back, only deliberately letting Bai Chijing know some information about it.

After all, this plate of dumplings was made for the sake of this dish of vinegar.

As for now, the Twelve Heavenly Gates are not yet ready to be revealed. If such things are revealed too easily and casually, people will think that they are not precious, or that they are easily obtained and therefore not cherished.

Humans are inherently prone to being foolish.

The easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued.

It can be said that the design of the Twelve Heavenly Heart Gates is very much in line with human nature. On the day of his birth, even with the warning brought by the fierce-eyed gourd, Bai Chijing would probably still have thoughts about the Heavenly Heart Imprint.

However, the Twelve Heavenly Gates no longer need to be revealed.

Because of the successive deaths of the Venerable Panhu, the Panhu Realm will be forced to reappear in the world after countless eons!
This worldly rule is something that even the Heavenly Dao of Banhu cannot suppress.

After all, this is actually a fundamental part of the power of the Heavenly Dao of Banhu.

Therefore, as long as the Banhu Realm appears, the power it wields as the Heavenly Dao of the Banhu Realm will directly reach its peak.

However, the fact that his strength had returned to its peak, something that would make any cultivator overjoyed, instead caused that Hu Tiandao some anger.

This anger, originating from the realm of Banhu, directly affected the void, causing invisible heavenly fires to ignite within it.

This is the Void Fire.

A flame that should never have been born under any circumstances.

Because this is a world-destroying fire.

At this moment, as this world-destroying fire began to ignite in the void, most of the more than one hundred worlds and universes in the void were directly reduced to ashes.

This caused the two monks who had manifested their power to cough up blood.

As each drop of gourd-like blood fell, it seemed to create countless wonders.

There is a causal relationship with the future, which directly transforms into a causal immortal spirit. Once this immortal spirit is born, it has the cultivation of an immortal in a realm other than the human world.
Some landed in another world, and due to the special nature of that place, they evolved into the eleventh wonder, the workings of which are unpredictable;

In addition, some fall into nothingness, directly creating blood-filled worlds.

This change was not only due to the fact that Banhu possessed the power to create the world, but also because the Banhu beings of these two manifest beings were severely injured at this time.

Because most of the worlds and realms that were destroyed were created by these two individuals.

There was another being who, although several worlds and universes were destroyed, ultimately only occupied a minority of the worlds and universes he had created, so he was not seriously injured.

At this moment, the two Banhu beings who were spitting blood were already showing signs of their demise.

Fortunately, a power originating from the Banhu Realm surged in, quickly restoring the two Banhu beings to their original state and even strengthening their original Banhu status.

"Thank you, Heavenly Ancestor Immortal!" The two beings of Banhu were somewhat surprised and delighted, so they quickly kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.

However, there was also a Banhu present at this moment with a dark expression.

Because several worlds and realms were destroyed for him, but he received no compensation whatsoever.

This being, Banhu, is known as Yuanshi.

Of the original hundred or so worlds and realms, thirty were created by him. Among them, the Primordial Wilderness is the best place he has created so far.

However, Yuanshi also knew very well why he had not been compensated by the Heavenly Dao of Banhu.

Among the Banhu who serve the Banhu Heavenly Way, there are two types of Banhu. One type simply does the work. Although they will try their best to create heaven and earth to prolong their time of manifestation, if they are really pushed too far by the Banhu Heavenly Way, then they will simply go into seclusion.

This can be understood as a landlord's long-term laborer who works hard but only receives meager wages.

Another type of gourd is used to make dogs.

The representative figure among these Banhu is Beiyue. In order to serve the Banhu Heavenly Dao, he used every means possible and tried his best to please the Banhu Heavenly Dao.

And right now, these two Banhu who have received compensation from the Heavenly Dao of Banhu are the second type—dogs!

……

The Heavenly Dao of Banhu was only slightly angered, yet it could cause world-destroying flames to be born from nothingness, and an unintentional ripple could almost cause Banhu, who was capable of creating the world, to perish.

This explains why the mere existence of the Banhu Heavenly Dao, with its self-awareness and selfish desires, directly influences the entire void, causing any heavenly Dao that is born within it to eventually follow a path similar to that of the Banhu Heavenly Dao.

Self-respect!

The Way of Heaven transforms into the Way of Humanity!

It is no exaggeration to say that this Dao of Heaven is the source of everything in this world.

At this moment, even though Banhu Tiandao had already controlled his emotions, his state of mind was still somewhat complicated.

Because this wasn't like punching cotton.

Instead, he carefully prepared a bottle of wine laced with poison, but the other party found a vat of water and, without saying a word, gulped it down.

Before the other party has "digested" that tank of water, there is no way they can drink that bottle of fine wine.

"The bones of a beggar..."

"They won't amount to anything."

A voice rang out from a mysterious place.

How mysterious is this place?

It can be said to be eternally unknown, so no one can explore and understand what secrets this mysterious place holds. However, some ancient beings know that the Heavenly Dao of the Bodhi Tree resides within this mysterious place.

As this voice fell, a power powerful enough to influence the entire void began to slowly emerge.

At first, this power was not obvious.

But gradually, this power became more apparent. The most direct manifestation of this was that Bai Chijing was rushing towards the boundary of the void when a huge mountain range suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sheer size of this mountain range far exceeded Bai Chijing's imagination, for even someone of his level could not see its end at a glance.

However, this was not what Bai Chijing cared about most at this moment.

This enormous mountain range is not a mountain of nothingness!

In the void, besides individual realms, there is only that kind of empty land. But this enormous mountain range is the kind of mountain range commonly found in this world.

Then Bai Chijing looked around again and was shocked to find that the omnipresent nothingness had disappeared without him noticing.

Near this massive mountain range, Bai Chijing saw various landforms, in which ores, metals, and jade were constantly evolving, followed by the appearance of vegetation.

Some of these plants were familiar to Bai Chijing, while others were completely unfamiliar to him. This was because the latter, like the Eclipse Flower, required specific conditions to grow, and the birth of each such plant meant the complete demise of a near-immortal.

These are special plants that can only grow from the bones of the Celestial Venerable.

Some plants even require the Heavenly Dao Immortal's Dew as nourishment!
As cause and effect intertwined, Bai Chijing continuously learned information about these plants, and a sense of awe spread through him. He had already seen no fewer than ten thousand of these special plants.

What is this concept?
At least ten thousand near-immortals have died here!

This is a being revered by both heaven and earth!

Even Banhu, in essence, is still a near-immortal.

Yet, even among such near-Dao Celestial Venerables, just from what Bai Chijing has seen so far, it is certain that more than ten thousand have died! What a horrifying and unbelievable number.

Even with his exceptional advantages and mature development, Zhi Xuantian only managed to accumulate a few hundred near-Dao immortals.

This place, without exaggeration, is equivalent to a hundred Zhi Xuantian!
The resulting shock is naturally imaginable.

So Bai Chijing couldn't help but want to explore, to see where he had come to. But as soon as he made a move, he sensed an extremely fierce aura that locked onto him from afar.

It was a dried-up corpse.

The corpse slowly opened its eyes, its pale green pupils reflecting illusory images of various worlds. Its aura, too, became terrifying and horrifying.

Because this is a Banhu, and a Banhu that Baichi Jing is familiar with.

Behind the moon!

The existence of Banhu is imbued with the Heavenly Dao of Banhu.

As long as the Heavenly Dao of Banhu remains, then all such Banhu beings will be immortal.

Originally, the Moon-Backed Gourd had perished in a different way, but now that the Gourd Realm has begun to reappear, the Moon-Backed Gourd has been directly revived.

Who could tolerate such a deadly feud?
Immediately, the crescent-shaped gourd emitted a dense aura of death, transforming into a powerful light capable of rotting everything, and directly rushed towards Bai Chijing.

The gourd with its back to the moon can naturally be revived.

But he was unwilling.

This was the second path to creation he had painstakingly found. And on this path, a formidable competitor had already emerged.

It was none other than the dead Wu Banhu.

As both being revered beings, the pressure exerted by the dead Banhu on the back-moon Banhu was naturally immense.

You should know that this guy, Si Wu, is also a second-class Banhu!

Compared to Siwu Banhu, Beiyue Banhu is only slightly older and a little stronger, but it has no other advantages.

Therefore, even if it recovers, the moon-shaped gourd still keeps itself in a state of death.

Only in this way can one comprehend the second path of creation and opening up the world, thereby creating a mature world that satisfies the Heavenly Dao of Banhu!
As a servant, pleasing one's master is undoubtedly the top priority.

Because that is the very foundation of its existence!
"Is this what is meant by the profound mystery of Banhu?" Upon seeing this, Bai Chijing was not alarmed. He was simply amazed in his heart. Then, the power of Heavenly Fortune surged forth, transforming into nine chains that pierced through the sky and earth, severing time and causing the connection between the moon-backed Banhu and its status to be completely lost in an instant.

Bai Chijing's eyes surged with golden light. This was not supernatural power, but rather his future self moving, using the power of destiny to intercept the Moon-Backed Gourd in that eternal next second.

Meanwhile, Bai Chijing's past self has evolved into various mental realms, attempting to repeat his old tricks.

When someone reaches Bai Chijing's level of cultivation, he naturally uses all three of his bodies simultaneously in a fight: his past body, his future body, and his present body.

The moment the opponent falls into a disadvantageous position, the outcome, and even life and death, will be decided!

Bai Chijing saw a segment of future time related to himself. The crescent-shaped gourd evolved into a mass of putrid aura, which could corrode time and directly caused his Heavenly Fortune Power to collapse one after another.

However, as the connection between the Moon-Shaped Gourd and its position was severed at this point in time, the Moon-Shaped Gourd, which had been incredibly powerful in that future time period, sighed helplessly and turned into ashes, disappearing into oblivion in the future.

As the future form of Beiyue Banhu was defeated, the future form of Baichi Jing was freed up to deal with it, and Beiyue Banhu was instantly defeated.

The nine chains of celestial power transformed into long spears, piercing directly through the death form of the crescent-shaped gourd.

Then, the power of destiny trembled.

The souls of the gourd, which resembled a crescent moon, could never be reunited.

The body remained motionless from that point on.

However, the Moon-Backed Gourd did not die because of this blow. Until Bai Chijing eliminates the next Gourd, the Moon-Backed Gourd will not be able to reappear.

"Is it because of this world that we can't separate him from his near-Dao Venerable position?" Bai Chijing's eyes flickered slightly. After severing the connection between Beiyue Banhu and his position, he was going to suppress his near-Dao Venerable position again, and then, just like when he killed Yihuang Banhu, he would directly strike him down in another way.

However, Bai Chijing never expected that no matter how he tried, he couldn't suppress the opponent's near-Dao Venerable position.

"Could this be... the Realm of Banhu?"

A thought involuntarily crossed Bai Chijing's mind.

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, the sense of mist that this world had previously given him vanished completely.

He instantly realized that this world that had suddenly appeared in the void and drawn him into it was none other than the Hu Realm!

Then, Bai Chijing learned some unexpected news.

Whenever the Banhu Realm appears in the world, the Banhu Heavenly Dao will disappear.

However, this is not because the Heavenly Dao of Banhu is being suppressed, but because the Heavenly Dao of Banhu has reached its peak strength and therefore needs to hide itself.

As for why this is the case?
This was not among the information that Bai Chijing had obtained.

Besides that, all he knew was that the reason why the Banhu Realm suddenly appeared in the world was because he killed Yi Huang Banhu and Bei Yue Banhu.

The number of Venerable Panhu has been limited to seven since ancient times.

However, it's not a maximum of seven, but a minimum of seven. If one is missing, making it six, it can still manage. But if two are missing, then the Banhu Realm will have to reappear.

When the realm of Banhu reappears, the previously dormant Banhu beings will gradually awaken.

You have a precious opportunity to distinguish yourself!

However, such a display of power is not necessarily a good thing.

"Then why isn't it a good thing?" Bai Chijing was deeply puzzled by this, after all, as far as he knew, Banhu had worked hard to create the world, and what he sought was to prolong his time of being a venerable being.

Right now, not only can we reveal our esteemed status, but the Heavenly Dao of Banhu will also disappear. Why isn't this a good thing?

"unless……"
