Humans are shrouded in mist, projecting their image across countless worlds.

Chapter 98 The Foundation of Existence: The Way Resides Within Me

Although the spiritual realm was established only briefly, it spread throughout the universe at a speed even faster than the speed of the Xingzi Secret Technique of the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable. In a short period of time, it was accepted by countless beings in the vast universe.

Whether they are mortals who have just come into contact with the spiritual realm or cultivators who have embarked on the path of cultivation, they will go to the spiritual realm for a period of time every day until their spirit reaches the spiritual realm's limit and they are kicked out of the spiritual realm.

All of this is because in the homeland of the Heavenly Emperor, the beings on a water-blue planet called Earth have connected to the spiritual realm, and the villages have been connected to the internet!
When the beings on Earth entered the spiritual realm, they exclaimed that virtual reality games were indeed true, and they discovered all the mysteries of the spiritual realm without any instruction.

Defeating the natives of the Spirit Realm can nourish your soul with Soul Light and also drop ancient scriptures and fragments of secret techniques.

They also discovered that the individual rankings that branched off from the Heavenly Emperor Ranking in the spiritual realm had a function called "Chat," which allowed people to communicate regardless of distance, and even while in seclusion, they could learn about the situation in various regions of the universe.

Earth's creatures even uploaded their discoveries to the chat function, turning them into so-called guides!

After being discovered by beings from other star systems, it became a place where countless powerful beings and ordinary people communicated and discussed the mysteries of heaven, earth, the universe, and the Great Dao.

In the chat function, you can see quasi-emperors discussing their views on life with old farmers.

You can also see scenes of ordinary people teaching spiritual practitioners.

The practitioners were astonished to discover that among the billions of beings, some ordinary people, though unable to cultivate, possessed an astonishing level of spiritual attainment.

An ancient being at the Great Sage realm was enlightened on the spot after communicating with an old man living among mortals on the ancient star Tongtian. He found the path to the Quasi-Emperor realm and soon broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

At that time, this quasi-emperor-level powerhouse traversed the universe, intending to guide the old man onto the path of cultivation and baptize him with the Divine Liquid of Creation, but the old man refused, saying that living this life was enough.

The message, once sent by this quasi-emperor, shook the universe.

Such miracles did not happen only once, allowing all beings in the universe to fully accept the spiritual realm opened up by the Heavenly Emperor.

More importantly, no matter how long one cultivates in the spiritual realm, the time difference between the two worlds after returning to the greater universe is astonishing. One month in the spiritual realm is equivalent to one day in the greater universe.

While all beings in the universe marvel at this incredible speed of time flow, they also feel even greater awe for the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

The old sage who once cultivated in the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Land regarded the Spiritual Realm as a supreme immortal land to slow down the loss of his original essence, and spent most of his time in the Spiritual Realm.

When all beings in the universe discover that when a primordial spirit that has entered the spiritual realm dies unnaturally within the spiritual realm, it does not fundamentally harm the body, but only results in the loss of a wisp of primordial spirit thought, they go completely mad.

Cultivators from all walks of life regard the spiritual realm as a testing ground, trying out various cultivation methods and practicing all sorts of secret techniques to allow their true bodies in the universe to evolve rapidly.

The wisdom of countless beings was engraved in the spiritual realm, propelling its growth and allowing He Lang's realm to effortlessly transform towards the immortal realm.

The spiritual realm he created was not just a simple spiritual realm; it also incorporated his achievements in the Dharma in this world. It was a phantom foundation for existence that he condensed after comprehending the techniques passed down by the Celestial Venerable of Morality!

In the world of supreme beings, the Moral Celestial Venerable is the innate other shore, the foundation of existence, the ancestor of all paths, and the origin of all laws, symbolizing the development and prosperity of the Great Dao. In this process, the Moral Celestial Venerable is the strongest.

He Lang established the spiritual realm based on the illusory foundation of existence. As all beings flourish, so too will his Dao. All living beings in the universe are his servants; their growth is his growth, and their Dao is his Dao. The powerful beings in the vast universe believe he aims to gather the wisdom of all beings to achieve immortality, but they only see the first layer, unaware that he exists within the atmosphere!
Then some people might think, since you've already condensed the foundation for existence, why not directly merge into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and directly replace the Great Dao of the Great Universe, instead of going through the trouble of opening up the spiritual realm?
He Lang could only say that anyone who had such thoughts should just wait for bad luck to befall them.

The world of Shrouding the Heavens is very deep. Ultimately, it all stems from an incredible powerful figure who died and came back to life, died and came back to life again, sacrificed everything he had, buried everything in the past, yet could not be completely extinguished.

If one were to merge the foundation of existence into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and continue merging, one would see red hair growing on their body and black blood flowing. The foundation of existence of this world is the owner of the Three Incarnations Bronze Coffin! It is not some innate Great Dao.

Infinite information merged into the spiritual realm, transforming into a series of wondrous phenomena that echoed around He Lang. All sorts of cultivation methods and evolutionary paths explored by sentient beings surrounded him, transforming into the origin.

He became the embodiment of the Great Dao, standing at its source, watching the evolution and development of all paths.

In a blur, the potential 'Immortal Gate' within him opened, and vast universes were projected out from within the gate, transforming into a multiverse. It absorbed boundless information from the spiritual realm and began a new round of evolution. Paths of evolution emerged in those heavens, rapidly developing and growing stronger, moving towards perfection.

This is the manifestation of He Lang's Dao Fruit in this lifetime, which has intertwined with the Heaven-Covering Law and resonated with it.

The evolutionary path that grew within He Lang's body fed back into him, propelling his cultivation level in the Heaven-Covering Technique.

In fact, in terms of realm alone, becoming an immortal is nothing special. After he achieved legend, his projections in all the heavens and myriad worlds will not perish, so he will not die.

However, this is an indispensable stage on the path to supreme evolution; one must always go through it in order to achieve perfect enlightenment.

In this transformation, He Lang's humanoid body disappeared, and he seemed to have completely transformed into the Great Dao, into the 'Dao' woven from the chains of order and the original runes.

The previously vague realm of immortality gradually became clearer with the support of countless pieces of information.

He Lang had a premonition that if he continued down this path, he wouldn't need to undergo the nine lifetimes of transformation to become an immortal in the mortal world; he could become an immortal in just one lifetime, and even become the king among immortals.

"In the ancient times, there was no such thing as a mortal immortal. Those powerful immortal kings relied on the ancient seeds they fused with to break through to the immortal king realm after countless years of accumulation. Their spiritual world was also a perfect Dao seed. Such an achievement is not amazing, but it accelerated the process of accumulation and transformation."

All of this was within He Lang's calculations, and he wasn't surprised at all.

As time passed, the competition in the universe became more intense than ever before. After the emergence of the spiritual realm, the geniuses on the ancient star road became even more terrifying. Ye Fan still displayed the prestige of the Holy Body, overshadowing countless geniuses.

The spiritual realm is also becoming increasingly prosperous.

On this day, He Lang sensed a vast and supreme divine thought probing into his spiritual realm. He withdrew from his cultivation and looked towards the Heavenly Court area outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

"The Empress has actually been revived!"

The true master of the divine thought was none other than the ruthless Great Emperor who had transformed in the small world beneath the desolate abyss.
