We agreed to go to Taishan Sect and you will pull the coffin for me.

Chapter 341 The Secret of Time Travel
Lu Heng sighed slightly. Even if he guessed their schemes, he had to acknowledge the unique nature of this strange creature. Perhaps due to its integration with the eternal origin, its inherent quality was very high; it only lacked energy recovery.

A strange creature possessed a Celestial King-level being and became a Celestial King himself. It then parasitized the World Tree. If successful, it would ascend to the heavens in one step and become a Celestial Emperor.

He alone, or rather all mortal cultivators, relied on their own efforts to cultivate step by step. Even with so many celestial treasures, becoming an immortal was not easy, becoming a celestial king was difficult, and becoming a quasi-celestial emperor and creating a unique path of evolution was even more difficult.

Despite Lu Heng's rapid advancement, his Dao Fruit was flawed due to the short time it took to become an immortal. This fierce battle helped to rectify the flaws, but he still needs a million years to comprehend the Dao and experience it all over again to solidify his foundation.

Becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is an even more distant prospect. Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor endured many years of hardship, while the Immortal Emperor fought against the World-Destroying Elder and others for thirty thousand years before finally getting closer to it.

"Never mind, the most important thing now is to find a way to get out of here."

Lu Heng silently activated his supreme profound technique, combining the five great immortal king techniques into one. Behind him, a miniature eternal immortal court was erected, and he immediately felt the solidified spacetime around him loosen.

Fortunately, the primal sublimation brought by the immortal treasures of the Eternal Immortal Court was still effective. He had already realized that the battle here was not about who was stronger. No matter how strong someone was, as long as they were not above the Dao of Sacrifice, they could not compare to the Eternal Immortal Court. What mattered was the connection with the Eternal Immortal Court.

Hmm, is it all about strength in the underworld? It's all about social skills and networking.

In other words, it is actually about the degree of control over the Eternal Celestial Court.

In addition, Lu Heng attempted to use the Primordial Chaos Evolution Escape Technique to condense a phantom image of a supreme guiding talisman, trying to return to the era of Shrouding the Heavens.

As expected, Lu Heng failed and was unable to sense the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

He sighed and was about to move around in search of a way to break through when another unexpected event occurred.

Buzz!
The phantom of the supreme guiding talisman that condensed on Lu Heng's brow altar triggered a resonance of boundless power from all directions, faintly echoing towards a certain location.

The next moment, Lu Heng was shocked to feel an unstoppable force of attraction descending from the sky, directly engulfing him, breaking through the boundaries of time and space, and teleporting him to a certain place.

Just as he thought it was the work of some strange creature or the remnants of the Xuan Tian people, and was about to struggle, the Quasi-Immortal King suddenly had a glimpse of the future and communicated with the Eternal Immortal Court. In the darkness, there was no sense of danger, but rather a strange sense of familiarity.

Whether it was a fleeting moment or an eternity, he broke through the vast, eternal light and saw the outline of a boundless celestial court, in which one building shone brilliantly.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Heng's figure disappeared into it. He felt the guiding power disappear, and he immediately stood up and looked around.

This is a vast and boundless continent, pure white and smooth, as if crafted from some kind of immortal jade, containing a great power that is ancient, timeless, and eternally enduring.

This place is shrouded in eternal power, and one's own magical power cannot break free of the confinement, making one feel as if they have become mortal.

Lu Heng gazed at the sky, where the deep starry sky enveloped him. It was an indescribable chaotic sea, with countless bright points of light that seemed to twinkle like stars. But upon closer inspection, they were not stars at all, but rather shrinking seas of illusion.

Every void sea contains countless worlds and universes buried within it; a single wave can represent a world, an era.

At this moment, Lu Heng guessed where he was: one of the core components of the Eternal Immortal Court, the [Reception Altar]!
He scanned his surroundings, and the Endless Immortal Jade Continent was an unimaginably magnificent altar, empty of everything, stretching to the horizon, yet capable of connecting all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Lu Heng remained silent, a sense of familiarity rising in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the altar underwent a strange change. In the deep darkness above, the stars shone brightly, and under each point of light representing a miniature world sea, a small white jade altar condensed, totaling 129,600 in number.

One of the smaller altars, radiating countless celestial rays, was activated by some Dao principle, causing a pillar of light to descend and envelop Lu Heng.

Buzz!
He closed his eyes and opened them again, finding himself in the endless universe, sitting cross-legged on this small altar of guidance, with a deep vortex of stars above his head, billions of worlds swirling like grains of sand, and distant memories from the depths of his mind resurfacing.

In a daze, Lu Heng saw scene after scene.

“I remember now.” Lu Heng murmured. He was not a native of the Blue Star universe, but a soul from a similar parallel universe. After the collapse of the Eternal Celestial Court, he fell from endless dimensions, causing countless spacetime distortions.

He was a lucky one, drawn by the Eternal Celestial Court's Reception Altar, his soul was transformed, becoming very special, and he was able to reside in a part of the Reception Altar's facilities, namely the small Reception Altar in front of him.

Afterwards, Lu Heng seemed to completely merge with the altar beneath him, his soul perspective fixed on the corresponding realm of myriad worlds, remaining undying even after countless years of change.

He saw one powerful Xuantian being after another, full of vigor and ambition, taking advantage of the damage to the Eternal Immortal Court to truly step into the core area and find many opportunities. He also saw the internal strife in the Xuantian Universe caused by the collapse of the Eternal Immortal Court due to differences in ideology.

Furthermore, they witnessed the changes that occurred during the Eternal Celestial Court's slow repair process after its collision with the source of the strange phenomenon.

This is a change within the eternal and unchanging past countless eons. It has been eroded by the power of a strange source, and due to its own damage, its flawless state has been broken, and something went wrong.

An indescribable being was born, resembling a twisted, bizarre, and ferocious worm, completely transparent and invisible, possessing the essence of both.

It is chaotic and insane, with both a yearning for the Eternal Celestial Court and a disgust for the cold, indifferent operation that has existed for trillions of epochs. It sneers at the greed and arrogance of the Xuan Tian Great Power, taking such a heaven-sent opportunity for granted and failing to cherish it.

It decided to destroy several universes under the Eternal Celestial Court.

This memory made Lu Heng sigh. He had misunderstood before. The collapse of the Eternal Immortal Court and the annihilation of the Xuan Tian Universe did not happen in an instant, but over a considerable period of time.

It wasn't that the Xuan Tian Grandmaster opened the seal on the source of the strangeness in the Treasure Hall, but rather that the Eternal Immortal Court was fighting against the source of the strangeness. Although it was damaged, the other party was also not good. A part of its essence was torn off and then rendered harmless before being sealed inside the Treasure Hall.

Normally, the Eternal Celestial Court would have slowly healed, but instead, strange beings like bizarre creatures were born.

This strange entity possesses both the eternal origin of the Celestial Court and the power of a bizarre source.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be like a 'broken program' in the Eternal Celestial Court.

Yes, let's call it the "Twisted Program" for now, to distinguish it from the strange source that caused the collapse of the Eternal Celestial Court.

The powerful beings such as Xuan Tian, ​​Xin Mo, and Ling Shan were unaware of all this. They were delighted by the loopholes in the Eternal Immortal Court and tried every means to exploit them.

This was precisely what the [Twisted Program] exploited. It was very weak when it was first born and had not yet been nipped in the bud. It gradually grew stronger by eroding the geniuses of several universes.

When Lu Heng became part of the Reception Altar, he personally witnessed the two powerful Xuan Tian beings, Tai Bai Sword Immortal and Da Zizai Tianzi, being parasitized by him and completely corrupted.

Afterwards, the program was distorted, and the news of the strange source of the Treasure Hall was deliberately revealed, which aroused the great powers of Xuantian to flock to it, wanting to refine this strange source power so that they could break through the King and become Emperor, and truly advance to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

At this point, taking control of the Eternal Celestial Court is no longer an impossible ambition.

Unfortunately, everyone had different opinions; some were radical, while others were conservative and wanted to proceed gradually. Coupled with conflicts of interest, they eventually split into two factions.

The cause of the Xuan Tian internal war was just like this: in addition to the temptation of the distorted program, there was also the fundamental difference in interests and positions.

"Tsk tsk, how insidious."

Lu Heng clicked his tongue, then realized that his elder brother wasn't making fun of his second brother anymore. In a way, he was also a beneficiary of the shattering of the Eternal Immortal Court, and was also one of the variables, no different in essence from the distorted program.

Moreover, the fact that the Starry Sky Immortal King was able to discover the existence of the distorted program at the last moment, and even opened the Treasure Hall to perish together with it, was inseparable from his planning and guidance.
