Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Its current situation is mostly due to the severe injuries it suffered back then, only able to recover bit by bit through the method of Nirvana.

Fang Ming asked again, "In that case, Fellow Daoist is currently just lacking divine substance. If you had enough divine substance, could you recover rapidly and return to your peak in a short time?"

"Theoretically, there's no problem," Liu Shen said.

Its path is special; each time it undergoes Nirvana and recovers, its strength will increase by a certain margin accordingly.

What's important is the process of Nirvana, while the recovery process is not as crucial.

Theoretically, as long as there is a large amount of divine substance, it can recover quickly.

"I understand." The fingertip-sized golden seed trembled, as if nodding, and he asked again, "If there were an Immortal Medicine, could Fellow Daoist use it to recover to your peak?"

Whether Liu Shen could recover was very crucial in his plan.

Regardless, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths must have at least one Immortal King; otherwise, they absolutely cannot stop the Other Realm in the slightest.

If Liu Shen's recovery failed, then he could only execute his backup plan, attempting to hide in the Immortal Domain, or attempting to enter the Burial Region and go deep into the burial ground.

However, that might not be safe. The Immortal Domain is fine; being careful, after entering the Immortal Domain, he could always find a place to hide.

But the Burial Region is not necessarily safe. The origin of the Burial Region also comes from the dark Quasi Immortal Emperor across the Boundary Sea, and it also carries the risk of being polluted.

Moreover, now that he was here, how could he miss the opportunity to comprehend the fundamental Great Dao laws of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

If he didn't try, how would he know he couldn't have it all!

"Immortal Medicine? Perhaps not." A green light flashed, and Liu Shen's branches swayed, as if denying it. It said, "In my current state, a simple Immortal Medicine most likely won't work."

"I appreciate Fellow Daoist's good intentions, but please don't trouble yourself with this matter. I have my own plan," Liu Shen's voice sounded, calmly refusing.

Fang Ming's thoughts were easy to guess; it wasn't hard to see.

"Let's not discuss this for now." Fang Ming pondered for a moment, then asked curiously, "According to Fellow Daoist's plan, how long do you estimate it will take to truly recover to your peak?"

"If there are no accidents along the way, it will take up to ten thousand years, or as little as a thousand years to recover," Liu Shen said.

"I'm afraid there isn't Time for Fellow Daoist to recover," Fang Ming said.

Although his voice was calm, it struck Liu Shen and Little Pagoda's hearts like a clap of thunder.

"Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist, what does this mean?" Liu Shen asked seriously, with great solemnity.

The fingertip-sized bone pagoda shook, and it said in a deep voice, "Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist, why do you say that? Did Fellow Daoist foresee something?"

Hearing Fang Ming's words, a bad premonition arose in their hearts simultaneously.

"The enemies who defeated Nine Heavens and Ten Earths back then have not perished; they are true Immortals. Calculating the Time, the Time for them to enter the pass again should be within these ten-plus years," Fang Ming explained.

Instantly, the atmosphere here became very heavy.

Liu Shen and Little Pagoda both fell silent. They had no way to judge whether Fang Ming's words were accurate and didn't truly believe him.

Fang Ming also knew that it was difficult to make them believe this matter based solely on his words, so he let them think about it.

Liu Shen spoke, asking with slight solemnity, "How did Fellow Daoist obtain this news?"

"If I said I saw the preparations of the Other Realm's Immortals, would you believe me?" Fang Ming said calmly.

"Other Realm..." Hearing this, a familiar feeling surfaced in Little Pagoda's heart, but it couldn't recall it.

Its intuition told it that there should be a great karma between itself and the so-called Other Realm, and it was the bad kind.

"Saw..." A green light flashed, and the emerald green branches swayed. Liu Shen said, "This is indeed difficult for me to believe."

"It doesn't matter if Fellow Daoist doesn't believe me," Fang Ming said at this moment, "Fellow Daoist must want to quickly recover to your peak, right?"

Seeing Liu Shen fall silent, Fang Ming took it as tacit agreement and continued, "How about we make a deal?"

"I will help Fellow Daoist recover quickly, and after Fellow Daoist recovers to your peak, how about fulfilling one of my requests?" Fang Ming continued.

Liu Shen said, "Please allow me a moment to consider this matter, and please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, please think it over. My request won't be anything excessive." Fang Ming was very calm; he had already prepared.

For him, successfully persuading was naturally the best outcome, but if he couldn't, he wouldn't force it; he had backups.

At this moment, as Liu Shen fell silent, Little Pagoda's voice sounded. It said, "Could it be that you want to seize that spiritual root in Medicine Capital of the Desolate Region?"

"Not for now," Fang Ming replied.

"That's good. That spiritual root was raised in the Lower Realm by someone. Its owner is not ordinary, has a great background, and controls a supreme artifact," Little Pagoda reminded, "If you touch that spiritual root, that person will definitely break through regardless of the cost, and it will inevitably be difficult to handle then."

"Heh~ Raising an Immortal Medicine in the Lower Realm, I don't know if it's due to ignorance, shallow knowledge, or truly thinking the Desolate Region is some immortal treasure land!" Fang Ming's voice spread, full of mockery, "Could it be that they dislike that Immortal Medicine growing too well?"

Fang Ming really didn't know what kind of mind would think of raising an Immortal Medicine in the Lower Realm.

With that level of cultivation, they definitely knew about things like Immortal Medicine.

The Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, despite having many secrets, in terms of environment, are far from comparable to the Upper Realm.

That Immortal Medicine being able to grow and bloom with Dao flowers is already considered inherently extraordinary.

If it were in the Upper Realm, it would have likely bloomed with Dao flowers long ago.

Little Pagoda was speechless. After thinking carefully, it seemed that was indeed the case.

"That guy, couldn't his brain have been damaged by someone, to do something like this?" Little Pagoda muttered.

At this moment, Liu Shen, who had been contemplating for a while, spoke. It said, "I accept Fellow Daoist's deal."

"How does Fellow Daoist plan to make me recover quickly?" Liu Shen's voice carried a hint of curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist, just watch."

Before Fang Ming finished speaking, a golden light pierced the air, and it was his Profound Heaven Myriad Laws Pagoda.

Seeing this treasured pagoda, Little Pagoda immediately understood Fang Ming's plan and said with surprise and uncertainty, "Isn't there dark pollution in this Immortal's body that is difficult to remove?"

Although that Immortal's body had severe loss of essence, for the current Liu Shen, it was indeed a supreme treasured medicine for recovering itself.

By refining its Immortal divinity, it would definitely be able to recover quickly and reach a terrifying state.

However, with the presence of that dark polluting substance, this was not a supreme treasured medicine, but a fatal poison.

It could see that Liu Shen's current recovery level was not very high, even worse than its own state.

Little Pagoda and Liu Shen had no interactions and did not understand Liu Shen's abilities.

But Fang Ming understood Liu Shen's abilities.

If someone in the Lower Realm had the ability to strip the dark true blood from Pumo King's Immortal King body, then besides the forbidden zone lord with lingering obsession and the two incomplete Immortal Kings of Xiling Realm, it would be Liu Shen.

Its fundamental great method evolved and sublimated from the path of life, perhaps allowing it to extract the Immortal divinity from Pumo King's Immortal King body in a different way.

Fang Ming didn't immediately answer Little Pagoda's words, but simply operated the Myriad Laws Pagoda to release the white bone altar.

A white light flashed, and a palm-sized white bone altar floated in the air, emitting a faint glow.

"Fellow Daoist, please see. In the altar is the body of an Immortal King sealed by Kunpeng back then. Although the Immortal essence and divinity contained within this Immortal King body have already been lost by ninety-nine percent, for Fellow Daoist, it should be just right and ought to be enough to allow Fellow Daoist to recover to a very high level."

Fang Ming spoke and simultaneously removed the seal he had placed on the altar.

Before Liu Shen could reply, he continued speaking to Little Pagoda, "Tower Brother, how about giving my share of this Immortal King body to Ancestor Sacrifice Spirit?"

"Fellow Daoist already has more than half of this Immortal King body. Fellow Daoist can give it to whomever you want," Little Pagoda said, not minding.

This was something they had discussed before, and this Immortal King body also had pollution that was difficult to remove.

For it, if the pollution within could be removed, giving a portion of its share as compensation was not out of the question.

"Although this Immortal King body has severe loss of Immortal essence, it can indeed allow me to quickly recover to a relatively high level." At this moment, Liu Shen's voice came.

Obviously, it had already examined the condition of the Immortal King body on the altar just now.

"Has Fellow Daoist discovered the dark true blood pollution within this Immortal King body?" Fang Ming asked with slight curiosity.

If Liu Shen hadn't discovered the pollution within, or couldn't effectively remove it, he would have to use another method.

"There is indeed terrifying pollution within this Immortal King body," Liu Shen said, "In the Primordial Era, I once saw similar remnants in the uninhabited areas of Three Thousand Provinces."

Green light flowed, and the emerald green branches hung down, entering the palm-sized white bone altar.

As the branches were drawn out, five-colored Immortal divine light surged, and at the tip of the branches, a drop of blood bead shining with five-colored Immortal radiance glowed brightly.

On the emerald green branches, green light flowed, the aura of the Great Dao spread, countless runes emerged, continuously entering the five-colored blood bead at the tip.

As the green light accompanied the influx of Great Dao runes, the five-colored treasure radiance faded, turning into an emerald green treasure bead.

The branches trembled slightly, and an extremely rich aura of life, accompanied by Immortal Dao rhyme, appeared. A slightly smaller blood bead glowing with five-colored radiance slowly detached from the emerald green treasure bead.

"The Immortal vital energy and Immortal divinity in the true blood have been separated!" Little Pagoda exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Ming was also a little surprised in his heart. Liu Shen's recovery level was not high, yet it had actually done it.

It didn't separate the polluting substance, but instead extracted the Immortal vital energy and Immortal divinity from Pumo King's Immortal true blood.

This was a difference in approach. Fang Ming and Little Pagoda wanted to separate the dark true blood pollution.

While Liu Shen extracted the Immortal divinity and Immortal vital energy from the Immortal King's true blood.

Fang Ming and Little Pagoda were not skilled in the path of life, so it was difficult for them to extract pure Immortal vital energy; it would inevitably carry the pollution of dark true blood.

As the Immortal vital energy and its divine essence were extracted, the originally emerald green treasure bead transformed back into a five-colored treasure bead.

Compared to before, this five-colored treasure bead appeared dim and lacked luster; the crucial essence within had already been taken.
