Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 254: Immortal Emperor

“Failed!” Fang Ming’s slightly regretful voice came from within the Great Dao Ancient Tree.

Yes, he failed his first attempt at becoming an Immortal Emperor.

Within the full moon symbolizing the Dao fruit, Fang Ming’s countless Dao Seas were regenerating endlessly, cycling repeatedly, each time stronger than the last. The cycle of endless Reincarnation failed to continue; it was interrupted during a certain process.

“It’s fine, success is not far off.” Shi Hao said calmly, looking at Fang Ming. “Fellow Daoist has grasped a key essence and will succeed soon.”

“Third time’s the charm. Based on the current progress, it won’t exceed the third attempt at most,” Ye Fan also nodded.

In fact, it didn’t require a third attempt. During the second attempt, Fang Ming completely grasped that essence and succeeded on his own.

Countless Great Daos evolved into countless Dao Seas, which were then unified.

The Dao Seas were infinite, presenting endless Dao Seas that were then merged, becoming stronger Dao Seas. This was an endless cycle.

Infinite levels of superposition, infinite ones unified into one. This one was infinitely stronger than before, and then it gave birth to countless ones of the same level, and also an infinite number of ones, which were then unified, and then returned to infinity…

In this never-ending process, an Immortal Emperor who surpassed the Dao was born.

At this moment, within the full moon symbolizing his Dao fruit, this cyclical process was still ongoing. Within that full moon, an indescribable and unexplainable ‘Dao’ had already been born.

After becoming an Immortal Emperor, Fang Ming’s countless All Heavens Worlds did not undergo another transformation. His Dao simply invisibly enveloped the All Heavens Worlds, completely unifying the countless Great Daos.

From then on, his All Heavens Worlds also had a supreme, unique, and unparalleled Dao!

“Is this an Immortal Emperor?”

After becoming an Immortal Emperor, Fang Ming rose from the altar, transforming back into his human form.

His original Great Dao Ancient Tree body was suspended above his head, radiating infinite Dao light and circulating boundless profoundness.

At this moment, in his eyes, everything was different: the Great Dao, Time, Chaos, Reincarnation, All Heavens, the Highland…

Looking into the future Time, there were countless futures. He could see that every minute and every second of the future Time was infinitely splitting into possible futures, and these split possible futures were also splitting into countless possibilities… Every possible split would split into countless possibilities…

This kind of splitting would never stop!

Of course, for beings below the Immortal Emperor realm, most of these were not real futures, only a few were true.

But for an Immortal Emperor, all infinitely splitting Time were real, not false. They could go to any of them at will and ‘realize’ them.

He looked into the past, which was a bit more peculiar than the future. It seemed like a long river, but with a change in perspective, it became like the future, exhibiting that infinite, repeated, and endless splitting.

“This is defining the past and future for oneself, it just depends on whether one is willing,” Fang Ming sighed in his heart.

Originally, he had made many plans to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and even an Immortal Emperor, but things developed unexpectedly, rendering them useless.

With the help of these powerful figures, he truly experienced a feeling like ascending!

With a thought, he opened his attribute panel again.

Host: Fang Ming

Race: Dao (Although勉强, still incomplete, you are the Dao. You are indestructible, eternal, only dormant, never dead. The panel kindly reminds you that after self-completion, there will be extraordinary divine power.)

Cultivation: Dao Realm (The panel reminds you: Dao has strengths and weaknesses. As a newborn you, and you in the process of self-completion, you are not yet a match for those powerful Dao, complete and conscious 'Dao'.)

Trait 1: Blooming Dao Flower, Bearing Dao Fruit (You can give birth to fruits with incredible abilities.)

Trait 2: Friend of Dao (You are naturally able to obtain close relatives of other Dao.)

All Heavens World Gate opening time: Open at any time.

Opening the attribute panel, it had indeed undergone a great change.

And the original third trait had been deleted.

An Immortal Emperor surpassing the Dao and forming their own Dao was truly not just talk. He had now truly become the Dao.

Although he was not a truly complete Dao, it was within expectation. If he were truly complete and had formed his own Dao on the basis of having obtained all the Great Daos, there would be no talk of backlash for an Immortal Emperor.

Now that he had become the Dao, it seemed that the advantage of the environment was no longer useful to him.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on becoming an Immortal Emperor and transcending above.”

At this moment, the voices of Shi Hao and Ye Fan sounded.

“Fellow Daoist must be the fastest being to become an Immortal Emperor. It seems there will be no one before or after you,” Shi Hao said with a smile.

Fang Ming shook his head and said, “With the help of the two Fellow Daoists, it doesn’t count.”

“Haha, why wouldn’t it count?” Ye Fan laughed and said, “Of course it counts. The main reason is that Fellow Daoist’s system is special. At the Immortal King and Quasi-Immortal Emperor realms, you can still rely on external forces to improve, but other systems cannot.”

“It’s difficult for us to help others,” Ye Fan shook his head with a hint of regret.

It wasn't that they didn't want to help their relatives and friends, but they couldn't use this method.

They could only honestly explain the Dao to them and let them comprehend and expand their own Great Dao.

“Let’s not talk about these things.” Fang Ming shook his head, looked at the two of them, and asked, “How are the cultivation of the two Fellow Daoists’ second and third Immortal Emperor Dao fruits progressing? Are you close to becoming Immortal Emperors?”

Currently, five thousand years had passed since they entered his All Heavens Worlds. Their avatars did not cultivate in their own foundational Worlds but entered Fang Ming’s All Heavens Worlds, cultivating in the Worlds with accelerated Time flow.

Five thousand years is roughly equivalent to five hundred thousand years of Time. Considering their re-cultivation of the second and third Dao fruits, they should be close to completion by now.

“In fact, it has been much smoother than expected. The difficulty of evolving external Dao based on a system that has reached the peak before is much easier than anticipated,” Ye Fan said with a smile. “Not only us, but even the Woman Emperor and Wu Shi have successfully cultivated their second and third Immortal Emperor Dao fruits. As for the others, they are still a bit short.”

“So fast!?” Fang Ming looked at them with extreme astonishment.

“You’ll know when you re-enact external Dao with your own system,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

“So, how does it feel?” Fang Ming asked with a hint of curiosity.

“After sacrificing the second and third Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, there was indeed an improvement, equivalent to many epochs of arduous cultivation,” Ye Fan pondered for a moment, then replied, “But overall, after our three sacrifices, although our strength has increased significantly and we can bear a larger number of Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, we are still in the realm of Sacrificial Dao.”

“That’s right. In fact, even if we didn’t take this path, with the passage of Time, we would eventually reach this point,” Shi Hao echoed.

Sacrificing the Dao does not mean that their strength has become fixed. It just allows them to increase their strength faster now.

“As of now, even if it’s just the two of you, even if the ten Ancestors of the Weird Clan are completely unharmed, you should be able to defeat them, right?” Fang Ming looked at the two with burning eyes.

As an Immortal Emperor, he could not perceive how powerful these two were.

After three Sacrificial Daos, no one could say for sure how powerful these two were.

Originally, they could deal with the five great Ancestors, and now it seems they are not afraid of the ten great Ancestors.

Not to mention, there is also the Ruthless person who has also undergone three Sacrificial Daos. Even if her accumulation is not as profound as these two, it is not too far off.

“After our three Sacrificial Daos, we are indeed much stronger than before. Currently, the Ancestors are no longer to be feared,” Shi Hao looked towards the direction of the Plateau of Disaster, his expression solemn. “We look towards the Highland and sense terrifying things there that we couldn’t detect before. Even with our current strength, we feel boundless pressure!”

“That’s right.” Ye Fan nodded, also looking towards the Highland. “The ancestral land of the Weird Clan, that Plateau of Disaster, seems to have its own will, a power that no longer belongs to the Sacrificial Dao level!”

Hearing this, Fang Ming was shocked. These two could sense the will of the Plateau of Disaster after three Sacrificial Daos. It seemed their strength had indeed increased significantly.

The reason their original plan failed was precisely because the will of the Highland exerted its power and changed everything.

Chu Feng, who had sacrificed dual Dao fruits, could not sense the will of the Plateau of Disaster. It seemed this was indeed the correct path.

“We must be more cautious and not act rashly. If we alarm it, everything might turn to naught,” Shi Hao said very seriously.

After three Sacrificial Daos, their strength had increased significantly. As their strength increased, the three of them could increasingly sense the terror of the Highland’s will. That level seemed to be completely above the realm of Sacrificial Dao.

“In that case, let’s talk about the matter of the Immortal Emperor Dao fruits from before. It should be related to completely surpassing the Sacrificial Dao realm, right?” Fang Ming looked at the two and asked, “What method have you thought of?”

In fact, when he asked this question, he already had a faint answer in his heart.

“Fellow Daoist must have guessed our method,” Ye Fan explained. “It is precisely the key evolution of becoming the Dao oneself from before, applying it to the Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, and infinitely expanding it in the same way, cycling repeatedly, and continuing the endless cycle.”

“In that case, one needs to be strong enough to bear an infinite and limitless number of Immortal Emperor Dao fruits,” Ye Fan said.

Therefore, during the process of cultivating Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, one needs to constantly sacrifice the Dao to make oneself stronger.

“It is indeed this method!” Fang Ming suddenly understood.

Using the method of becoming an Immortal Emperor, after cultivating a certain large number of Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, then infinitely expanding and erupting, causing the number of Immortal Emperor Dao fruits to increase infinitely.

Finally, sacrifice the Dao with an unimaginable and unreachable number of Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, launching the most violent impact in order to break through this ultimate restraint!

This method is similar to the method of the Three Worlds Copper Coffin Master, but the Three Worlds Copper Coffin Master sacrificed external Dao, the All Heavens, and then restarted them, repeating this process, cycling repeatedly, in endless Reincarnation, constantly making the external Dao stronger.

He first cyclically sacrificed Time, Chaos, and the All Heavens, and then sacrificed the true ‘Dao’, becoming a true ‘Sacrificial Dao’. Then he cyclically restarted the ‘Dao’, constantly strengthening the Dao, while he constantly cycled the process of sacrificing the Dao. In the endless cyclical process, he became above the Sacrificial Dao.

Ye Fan and Shi Hao, on the other hand, sacrificed their own Dao fruits. One was external, the other was internal, and there were some differences.

“In that case, let’s continue to open the pathways to other lands. I also want to see if this path is feasible,” Fang Ming looked at the two of them, and with a thought, the All Heavens World Gate had already opened.

During the process of becoming an Immortal Emperor, he had grasped the essence of infinite cycling, repeated repetition, and infinite strengthening. Next, he believed that as long as he cultivated enough Immortal Emperor Dao fruits, he could also successfully apply these to this.

Of course, this required him to find the opportunity for Sacrificial Dao and successfully sacrifice the Dao, so that he could bear more Immortal Emperor Dao fruits.

As the All Heavens World Gate opened, a part of Fang Ming’s supreme great World also spread across.

“This is!?” He showed a strange expression, then looked at Ye Fan and said, “Do you want to come and see?”

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and followed Fang Ming across the All Heavens World Gate, entering another foreign World.
