Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 222 Coveting the River of Souls
The Soul River itself is of a higher level than the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and its origin is far stronger than that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The various Great Daos, rules, and orders derived from it are far more profound than those of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Theoretically speaking, the geniuses born in the Soul River should generally be stronger than those in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

But that's not actually the case. In this place of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, too many amazing things have been born in the past, present, and future!
It can only be said that once the world reaches a certain level, whether or not a genius can be born after further advancement depends no longer on the world's level.

Since the Soul River itself is a powerful world that surpasses the level of the Great Thousand Worlds, it is foreseeable that the Ancient Underworld and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit are likely to be similar existences.

Such worlds are probably not uncommon in the heavens or within the sphere of influence of the strange race.

There might even be worlds beyond the level of the Great Heaven and Earth!
The fact that such a powerful world has not produced any truly amazing geniuses throughout history is enough to prove that the level of the world itself is not a limitation, and certainly not a key factor.

Emperor Chu Feng was born in a broken world, not even a Great Thousand World, which is enough to prove many things.

Perhaps it is related to other things besides the world itself, such as the inheritance of civilizations within the world.

After all, Chu Feng's appearance was essentially an experimental product of the Primordial Immortal Emperor's Dark True Spirit.

After discovering that two extremely powerful Heavenly Emperors had been born on Earth, he had nothing better to do, and on a whim, he decided to artificially recreate a Heavenly Emperor.

So he recreated the Earth, restoring its former environment, and repeated it endlessly. As a result, he actually produced a seed of a Heavenly Emperor, which later became the Heavenly Emperor.

It can be said that Chu Feng's birth is directly related to the dark true spirit of the Primordial Immortal Emperor.

Fang Ming's thoughts raced, and he did not attempt to delve deeper into the Soul River. As one of the places where the strange race controlled the reincarnation of all living beings, the Soul River must have a Quasi-Immortal Emperor presiding over it, and it was not something he could rashly venture into at his current state.

Previously, strange beings at the Immortal level already existed within the tributary regions corresponding to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It is foreseeable that the main stream of the Soul River must contain a large number of beings at the Immortal King level.

Even if a Celestial King comprehends the fundamental laws of a super-vast world like the Celestial Realm or another realm, it is difficult for them to make progress unless they refine such a world, in which case they will be able to improve.

The origin of the Great Heaven and Earth is far more powerful than that of the Great Thousand Worlds; it represents a qualitative change. Cultivating in such a world and comprehending its fundamental rules of the Great Dao can indeed enable them to advance their cultivation.

Such a vast world might not be unable to provide a back door for those who have attained the Dao and become Immortal Kings, when they are undergoing the Great Dao Tribulation.

Therefore, Fang Ming believed that the number of beings at the Immortal King level in the mainstream of the Soul River must be extremely large.

Their numbers may exceed those of the Immortal King level beings in the Dark Heavenly Court under the command of the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors on the other side of the Boundary Sea.

Moreover, it must be an unparalleled giant, or even a Celestial King at the Emperor Light level!
Some Celestial Kings may even be able to use special methods, such as 'merging with the Dao', to unleash power beyond the Celestial King level.

After all, the Soul River is a vast world that surpasses even the Great Thousand Worlds, although this is a clever trick. Moreover, leaving this realm will result in the loss of that power, but within it, one might be able to possess power exceeding the Immortal King level, perhaps even approaching that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Of course, such a clever creature would be instantly killed if it encountered a true quasi-immortal emperor; this is foreseeable.

After all, although the Soul River itself is of a high level and its origin is far more powerful than the origin of the Great Thousand Universe, its strength is comparable to that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but it is not a true Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It can only be said that it possesses that level of power.

Just like the Great Thousand World, in terms of power level, it does belong to the Immortal King level, but the Immortal King can easily destroy the Great Thousand World.

Even some powerful True Immortals can easily destroy the Great Thousand Universe!
Although it possesses boundless power, it cannot exert it, simply because it is not a true living being.

"However, if my myriad worlds were to devour the origin of the Soul River, perhaps..." Thinking of this, Fang Ming couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The Great Thousand Worlds corresponds to the level of the Immortal King, although he is only the most ordinary Immortal King, who transcends the Great Thousand Universe.

If one were to devour it and advance one's own myriad worlds to that level, it wouldn't be impossible to reach the level of a quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Of course, this is indeed a path for him, but it is a very difficult path, and it is unrealistic to rely on him alone.

The gap between the Great Heaven and the Great Thousand Worlds is much greater than the gap between the Great Thousand Worlds and the Middle Thousand Worlds; it's unrealistic for him to rely on himself.

I need a huge help!
Fang Ming couldn't see any possibility of this happening, and he couldn't think of anyone who could help him right now.

At this point, it's unrealistic to expect the Soul River to be swallowed. Without a supreme expert to suppress it, its instinctive reaction would be enough to make it suffer.

"However, the Soul River on this side of Perfect World is unassailable for the time being... but that doesn't mean the Soul River on the other side of Shrouding the Heavens might be untouchable... Moreover, the cultivators of that realm already have the best whetstone; I'm just afraid there aren't enough blades to sharpen them, and it wouldn't be good if they were damaged..." With these thoughts racing through his mind, Fang Ming suddenly had an idea. In that other dimension, things are different from here; if trouble is caused there, there are powerful backers, someone to cover for you.

The Primordial Immortal Emperor's Dark True Spirit is wary of this place, likely because it fears its former self who fell into darkness. It certainly won't come easily until it retrieves the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit.

Moreover, he needs to support his original Immortal Emperor at any time, so he certainly won't easily cross two timelines.

Now that he's already here and hasn't been discovered, he certainly won't go back. Knowing what it's like to look at the tributaries from the main stream of the Soul River, he'd be a fool to go back to the tributaries.

Leaving this place is not the first choice. Being able to comprehend the origin of heaven and earth, such as the Soul River, which transcends the vast world, would be of great benefit to Fang Ming in perfecting his own myriad worlds.

Even if only a tiny root remains here, it will allow him to truly experience the origin of the Great Dao of the Soul River.

With the power of the Primal Gate, maintaining this passage requires little energy, so it can naturally remain open at any time.

He wasn't so worried about being discovered. If he were to be discovered, he would have been detected the moment he opened the passage and entered the River of Souls.

For countless epochs and billions of years, the River of Souls remained peaceful and undisturbed. From the moment they attained enlightenment until their demise, the Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors born throughout the heavens were unable to discover the existence of the River of Souls.

Moreover, being situated in the main stream of the Soul River, they had an unobstructed view of the tributaries, as if they were outsiders in a painting. By now, their sense of vigilance had long since vanished.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Ming invoked the power of the Primal Gate to examine his myriad worlds.

In order to prevent his own myriad worlds from also, like the countless worlds in these myriad worlds, having already bred corresponding tributaries of the River of Souls.

The River of Souls is bizarre, clearly a special world intentionally created by the Bizarre Clan to collect souls and manipulate reincarnation.

Fang Ming guessed that after the world was born, a corresponding tributary would naturally emerge.

He doesn't want the power of reincarnation to fall into other hands!

For Fang Ming, after obtaining a set of Dao markers by leveraging the power of the Primordial Gate, and with the corresponding Dao principles of the origin of heaven and earth, he could easily deduce whether there were corresponding tributaries of the Soul River.

After quickly going through the deductions, Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. His myriad worlds had not produced any corresponding tributaries of the Soul River.

His myriad worlds, though worlds, are essentially his own realm.

Of course, it's also possible that his myriad worlds were born relatively recently, and the corresponding tributary worlds of the Soul River haven't had time to be created yet.

"It seems we should start preparing for reincarnation as soon as possible..." Fang Ming's true form, within the ancient tree of the Great Dao, narrowed his eyes slightly, "But the power of the Reincarnation Disc is still insufficient..."

Ever since he conceived the idea of ​​creating a realm of countless worlds, Fang Ming has been consciously planning the reincarnation process.

The Reincarnation Disc was one of his achievements. He didn't intend to use this magical artifact of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King for combat.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Although he also had some knowledge of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, he might not be as good as the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, who was an expert in this field.

Therefore, the initial intention was to use it to establish reincarnation within its own myriad worlds, or to use it as an aid in establishing its own reincarnation.

However, after Fang Ming repaired the Reincarnation Disc, he tried to build a cycle of reincarnation after becoming an immortal. He found that with the power of the Reincarnation Disc, it was impossible to build a cycle of reincarnation. Even if it was only a cycle of one realm, it would be beyond his capabilities.

Even a reincarnation path at the Immortal King level cannot establish a reincarnation cycle within a thousand worlds.

Even with his own Great Dao, he still couldn't build the place of reincarnation and rebirth that he had in mind.

Reincarnation is far more profound than he imagined; even beings at the level of Immortal Kings cannot fully comprehend it.

With a thought, Fang Ming opened a passage on the side of the Shrouding Heaven to the corresponding tributary of the Soul River.
