Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 231 Early Performance
Willow God asked with some surprise, "Why are you looking for him, fellow Daoist?"

“We made an agreement back then,” Fang Ming explained, then continued, “I’m a little curious about his secret technique of splitting himself into six. How does he manage to keep each part independent and prevent them from developing any disloyalty?”

"It is foreseeable that the Strange Clan will become extremely active in the future, and a terrifying and boundless battle will inevitably break out. At that time, they may take unconventional approaches and try to use some unorthodox methods to become stronger," Fang Ming said frankly.

“Unconventional methods…” Liu Shen raised an eyebrow, without asking what those methods were.

With a loud 'boom,' the void rumbled and trembled incessantly.

She stretched out a large hand, plunging into the endless void. Immortal light burst forth as she unleashed the ultimate divine power belonging to the Emperor Light Immortal King. A small tree entwined with immortal light was retrieved from the endless void by her.

A small tree, about a foot tall, was shrouded in white celestial mist. Its leaves shone brightly in the mist, like shining stars. It was the spiritual root from the Eight Realms of the Lower World.

A celestial light swayed, and a one-foot-tall celestial tree fell to the ground. As if sensing a familiar aura, a large amount of celestial mist burst forth, transforming into a hazy phantom that appeared before Liu Shen and Fang Ming.

"Liuji greets you both, fellow Daoists." The hazy figure spoke, then looked at Fang Ming with surprise, "Fellow Daoists, how many years have passed? You have already grown to this level!"

"That's not important. What's important is that we can now fulfill our original agreement. Fellow Daoist, you are free to observe my Great Dao," Fang Ming said calmly.

At this point, even if he were the Emperor Light Immortal King, Fang Ming had nothing to fear.

Once you enter his myriad worlds, you will be subject to the constraints of the Primal Gate.

The figure nodded in thanks.

He then turned his head to look in the direction of the myriad worlds, his eyes, hazy with immortal light, revealing astonishment, and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist's system is indeed incredibly amazing!"

"This is the secret technique of splitting the body that I created to break through the King and become an Emperor. It can split the body into five parts that are almost indistinguishable from the original body. The purpose is to inscribe the billions of Great Daos of the heavens. In the future, all the Daos will merge and merge into one, depicting the truly supreme and unique Dao. Therefore, it is named 'The True Method of the Six Extremes Returning to One'."

At this moment, the hazy figure pointed out, and a hazy light containing infinite Dao principles appeared in front of Fang Ming.

He then said, "It can be said that this method contains the fruits of my lifelong cultivation and embodies my hope of breaking through the king and becoming an emperor."

“Then I shall accept it.” Fang Ming’s illusory figure nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, he accepted the Six Extremes Return to One True Method. However, he did not rush to browse it, but said, “Fellow Daoist Liuji, to be honest, we already know the method to break through the shackles of the Immortal King realm. Would you like to take a look and refer to it?”

Instantly, Liu Ji was deeply shaken. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately said, "I couldn't ask for more!"

"Fellow Daoist, let me make this clear beforehand. Some things have happened recently. If you comprehend this method, it will be as if you are on the same warship as us. Our enemies will certainly not let you go in the future," Fang Ming solemnly warned.

He then recounted what had just happened to him.

"Haha..." Liu Ji laughed heartily, "What kind of person do you take me for, fellow Daoist? The creatures of the Strange Race are the common enemy of all heavens, and everyone has the right to kill them. It's only a matter of time before we have to confront them. I will never back down even a step in the future!"

"In that case, fellow Daoist, you may take it." Fang Ming smiled and a ball of light flew out, landing in front of the hazy figure of Liuji.

Liu Ji reached out and pointed, and the information contained within the hazy light surfaced in his mind. As he carefully examined the information, his mind was deeply shaken.

After a long while, he said with a sense of loss, "In the end, I still failed to stay on the right path!"

People like him, the butcher, the fake medicine seller, and the burial master did not follow the right path, which is why they have not been able to break through to the quasi-immortal emperor realm for hundreds of millions of years.

He was partially correct, but not entirely so, which is why he possessed the radiance of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, yet he was unable to cross that threshold for a long time.

"It's not too late to correct it now. Fellow Daoist has accumulated millions of years of experience. After correcting it, you may very well soar to great heights!" Fang Ming said solemnly.

“Yes, now that we have a method, I should prepare and make the final leap.” Liuji nodded, making his decision.

Strange fluctuations emanated from his body, disappearing into the endless void; clearly, he was informing his other five avatars.

"Fellow Daoist Liuji's decision is correct." Fang Ming smiled and said, "The flow of time in my myriad worlds is very different from that in the outside world. Two months inside is equivalent to only one day outside, which is very beneficial for my current breakthrough."

"Fellow Daoist's system actually has such capabilities." Liu Ji showed surprise, then cupped his hands and said, "Then I will accept your kindness." As soon as he finished speaking, five dazzling immortal lights emerged from the void, enveloping five immortal herbs shrouded in immortal mist.

The elixir was about a foot tall, and it was almost identical to the previous elixir.

As soon as the five immortal herbs landed, they burst forth with immortal light, and countless laws of the Great Dao surged and spread outwards.

However, all the disturbances subsided in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the surging celestial light, a figure emerged from each of the six celestial herbs. With a single step, they merged together in an instant.

The merging of his six bodies into one caused a terrifying celestial light to emanate from his body, with dazzling Dao symbols, dreamlike and illusory, densely packed, possessing an aura of indestructibility.

The Six Extremes Return to One True Method he created did indeed advance his cultivation, but relying solely on this one method was not enough for him to break through the constraints of the current system or raise its ceiling. Someone still needed to truly expand the current system and successfully raise its upper limit.

If the upper limit cannot be increased, relying on magic is useless.

“Perhaps the two of you could discuss the path ahead, which might significantly reduce the time needed to break through,” Fang Ming said. “As far as I know, in most cases, the founder of a system is not just one person, but multiple people can co-create it. There can be multiple Dao Ancestors.”

There can only be one Immortal Emperor at the end of the road, but there can be many Dao Ancestors who expand the road.

As for how to become an Immortal Emperor in the future, that will require changing one's own path and innovating once again.

Often, sparks of inspiration and opportunities for breakthroughs come from exchanging ideas with high achievers.

"I would like to discuss this with you, fellow Daoist." Liu Ji cupped his hands and then extended an invitation.

"I would be more than happy to." Liu Shen nodded.

Just as the two were about to enter the myriad worlds to discuss the Dao, nine-colored immortal radiance suddenly burst forth from the depths of the alien realm, illuminating the endless starry sky.

An immortal king roared, unleashing an unbelievable howl.

Five-colored true blood soared into the sky, dyeing the heavens with vibrant colors, while the powerful life force dissipated.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the alien realm, the Black Emperor, wearing an imperial crown, revealed a chilling smile.

Deep within the universe, the White Bone Emperor's Staff hovered in the air, releasing nine-colored radiance. Wherever it passed, countless living beings perished, transforming into streaks of blood-red light that shot out and disappeared into a vast altar.

The altar glowed, emitting eerie fluctuations. Then, a dark and deep crack appeared in the void, through which one could vaguely see palaces emitting a faint light, forming a path leading to the unknown.

Under normal circumstances, crossing the Boundary Sea would indeed take hundreds of thousands of years, but the Reception Ancient Hall can greatly shorten this process.

Looking at the ancient palace within the void rift, the Black Emperor smiled coldly. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the White Bone Emperor Staff. Then, he took a step and disappeared into the rift, stepping through the passage formed by the faint light emanating from the ancient palace.

At the same time, Fang Ming raised an eyebrow. He noticed that the speed at which his myriad worlds were eroding the alien realm had accelerated again. In an instant, he understood what was happening and said with some surprise:
"My speed of invading the alien realm has increased. Is it because the so-called Black Emperor has already left the alien realm with a quasi-immortal emperor weapon?"

Upon hearing this, a few threads of cause and effect appeared in Liu Shen's eyes. She said, "It can be confirmed that the so-called Black Emperor is no longer in the foreign land, and I cannot find out where he is."

Then her gaze shifted to the depths of the alien realm, and she said with surprise, "Ten immortal kings have fallen, and their five-colored true blood has stained the secluded cultivation area with five-colored glaze. A large number of races have been wiped out!"

"He must have crossed the Boundary Sea," Fang Ming guessed, then said, "Never mind him, let's just do our own thing."

With such a major event happening here, he would definitely need to notify the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor on the other side of the Boundary Sea.

After Liu Shen and the other entered the myriad worlds to cultivate, Fang Ming began to comprehend the scripture he obtained from the 'fake medicine seller' Six Extremes Immortal King—the Six Extremes Return to One True Method.
