Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 236 Five People Arrive Together
Standing outside the bronze gate and looking into the portal, one can see countless universes rising and falling in the Sea of ​​Time.

It contained not only the vast world, but also a great universe that transcended the vast world. In a fleeting glance, he saw the heavens and the universe that surpassed the great universe.

The birth and death of the universe are so insignificant in the vast ocean of time that they are not worth mentioning.

As the portal opened, the aura of the source of time flowed out naturally. Even though Fang Ming was a Celestial King, stronger than Emperor Light Celestial King, he felt extremely insignificant when facing the Sea of ​​Time.

At this moment, as the bronze gate opened, a pure white paper boat drifted out from the depths of this realm, transforming into a treasure ship that hovered in front of Fang Ming.

Only by using this as a boat and a beacon can we guide him there; only if he takes the initiative can we find him.

Without much hesitation, Fang Ming partially manifested his true form, taking on a human shape, and boarded the treasure ship. As the ship passed through the gate, he truly entered the Sea of ​​Time.

The other components are distributed around the bronze gate, quietly and patiently guarding this still-open bronze gate.

The pristine white ship glided across the boundless, crystal-clear ocean, sailing towards the unknown distance.

This is time, the Great Way, and the vast ocean formed by concepts; its essence lies even more above the river of time.

The sky was hazy, presenting a scene similar to the ocean, with a similar atmosphere.

The Sea of ​​Time was completely silent, in a state of absolute stillness. Even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could not set foot in such a special place; only an Immortal Emperor could access it.

The pristine white ship appears to be sailing aimlessly on the sea of ​​time, but in reality, it is heading towards a specific destination.

Fang Ming didn't have to wait long. In his perception, only half an hour had passed when an identical, equally white treasure ship appeared in his sight.

Fang Ming looked astonished as he watched the pristine white treasure ship slowly approaching.

On the pristine white treasure ship stood five figures.

He recognized all five figures, or rather, he had seen them before and had interacted with them before.

The two leading figures were none other than Shi Hao and Ye Fan. Slightly behind them were Ruthless Man, Wu Shi, and the Primordial Immortal Emperor.

The five people stood at the bow of the treasure ship, all gazing at the direction Fang Ming was in.

Looking at the five people standing at the bow of the treasure ship, Fang Ming had not expected them to arrive.

Theoretically speaking, one person's arrival is enough.

The arrival of just one person is enough to imprison the information of the 'heretical path', and with such information, it is enough for them to evolve another complete 'path'.

Based on the external path, it evolves infinitely and reaches the ultimate sublimation, allowing them to glimpse different worlds and enabling those who are already Immortal Emperors or have performed sacrificial rites to cultivate a second Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, thus performing a second sacrificial rite or becoming a dual-Dao Fruit Immortal Emperor.

If one does not evolve and only obtains the complete heretical path, and then stops there, that is 'original'.

If one takes the external path as a foundation, evolves it infinitely, uses it as material to nourish oneself, and deduces and strengthens one's own path, then that is normal cultivation. As for what kind of Dao fruit one can ultimately achieve, that depends on the cultivator's own talent and ability.

But the minimum guarantee is there; it won't be too bad.

A muffled thud echoed across the silent sea of ​​time, and ripples spread across the calm surface as the two treasure ships docked, their prows now joined together.

At this point, Fang Ming finally met the five people on the opposite treasure ship.

Seeing the five familiar faces, Fang Ming didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's quite unexpected that you've all come together, fellow Daoists."

"The matter we intend to discuss is of great importance. After discussion, we decided to come in person so that we can keep it from the Ancestor. Otherwise, with the Ancestor's abilities, he might be able to sense something amiss," Shi Hao, one of the leaders, said solemnly.

As a powerful figure in the Dao of Sacrifice, he is one of the people who has gone the furthest in this field. He has fought with the progenitors of the plateau for tens of thousands of years, and knows how troublesome those things are, as well as how terrifying the strange progenitors are.

Fang Ming didn't rush to ask what they were going to discuss. His gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the treasure ship beneath him and asked, "Can you trace the origins of the treasure ship and see how it came to be?"

If they could trace it back to the source, it would mean they had already foreseen their 'ending'.

Of course, Fang Ming felt that such a possibility was extremely slim. Such a terrifying great battle would inevitably erase all traces. As fellow experts in the Dao of Sacrifice, it would be impossible for them to trace back and observe the great battle that occurred in the past or the future.

Unless his strength surpasses the level at the time of the next war, which is impossible.

As expected, Ye Fan spoke up, and his words confirmed Fang Ming's guess. He said, "The origin of the treasure ship is naturally impossible to trace back to, but we don't need to trace it back to its origin. We can roughly know its origin."

With his cultivation level, he could naturally see at a glance that Fang Ming's myriad worlds were connected to two different time-spaces.

He glanced at the ruthless man, then looked at Fang Ming and said, "The origin of the treasure ship is not hard to guess. It is either the work of the future empress or the work of an empress from another timeline that is unrelated to this timeline. But it is most likely the work of the future empress."

"In short, no matter what the situation, our situation is not good. It is foreseeable that we will eventually lose!" Ye Fan said this with a heavy voice and a slight fluctuation in his tone.

In fact, they had discovered the contaminated paper boat back when they were at the Immortal King realm. After various speculations, they knew that their future fate might not be good. However, this did not make them retreat or hesitate in the slightest. They still believed in themselves and believed that they could reverse everything. They continued to cultivate according to their own plan and continued to advance bravely and diligently.

Even now, they are not in despair. They still believe that nothing is unchangeable, and as long as they have enough strength, there is no such thing as a predetermined future.

Not long ago, the ruthless man who had already become an Immortal Emperor suddenly sensed that a purified paper boat had returned.

Following the trail of the paper boat upstream, she unexpectedly saw outsiders from beyond the Dao. The moment she saw them, she knew how Ye Fan and Shi Hao, who had already performed the Dao ritual, could continue to grow stronger rapidly.

Admittedly, at their current level, even though they have already performed the Dao Ceremony, it doesn't mean they can't continue to grow stronger. It just means their speed will slow down, and they can no longer continue to improve as rapidly and fiercely as they used to.

However, the appearance of outsiders outside the Dao made it possible for them to continue to grow stronger rapidly, and it was even possible for them to completely surpass the Immortal Emperor realm.

In this outsider, they saw hidden information about unorthodox paths, which gave them the possibility of completely transcending the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

The Sacrifice Path is the realm that a Celestial Emperor reaches after achieving perfection and undergoing the ultimate sublimation. It does not completely surpass the Celestial Emperor's level at an unimaginable height.

For these Immortal Emperors, this is also an opportunity to go further. The emergence of heretical paths may allow them to cultivate a second Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.

If we're talking about Immortal Emperors who, before becoming Immortal Emperors, still have the opportunity to cultivate two Dao Fruits, or even more Dao Fruits...

Before becoming an Immortal Emperor, even if one is under the same supreme Dao, it is possible to cultivate multiple Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits. As long as one is amazing enough, once one becomes an Immortal Emperor, the moment one steps into the Immortal Emperor realm, one's Dao Fruits will simultaneously be successfully sublimated.

When one achieves victory, it will be difficult to die, and one can naturally break the original logic.

However, once one becomes an Immortal Emperor, it is impossible to cultivate another Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit while maintaining the same Dao as one has already achieved.

His rank and Dao were equivalent to those of an Immortal Emperor. At a glance, the supreme and unique Dao he possessed naturally revealed its profound mysteries without much concealment. It could be said that his own Dao was essentially no less than that of the supreme and unique Dao.

They belong to the same level of existence, which is why the Celestial Emperor is so difficult to kill.

After becoming a Celestial Emperor, one can no longer cultivate another Celestial Emperor Dao Fruit; one will only obtain the original one.

To become stronger again, one can only rely on oneself, continuously evolve the Dao Fruit, improve one's Dao cultivation until reaching the Immortal Emperor level, and then perform a Dao sacrifice.

They believed that the path of sacrifice was the end, the limit of cultivation, and that no being could surpass it.

However, it is clear that in the future, the level of sacrificial cultivation will not be enough to break the deadlock, and the ending will still be tragic, as evidenced by the tainted paper boat.

Then, outsiders appeared from outside the area, which gave them real hope of breaking the deadlock.

Therefore, after only a brief discussion, they decided to come and meet this outsider in order to reach an important cooperation agreement.

Fang Ming nodded and got down to business, asking, "The fact that you fellow Daoists have come together must be extraordinary. May I ask what brings you here?"

Of course, at this point, he also had some guesses in his mind.

Shi Hao looked at Fang Ming and said, "Fellow Daoist, you come from a foreign land beyond the Dao, and you have the means to open a passage to another time and space unrelated to this time and space. Could you also open other foreign lands beyond the Dao? Different foreign Daos are very important to us!"

His gaze passed through the bronze gate and landed on Fang Ming's myriad worlds. He then said solemnly, "If you, fellow Daoist, are able to open up other realms beyond the Dao, we intend to reach a mutually beneficial cooperation with you."

"Of course, even if we cannot open it, we still intend to cooperate with you, and our efforts will not be weakened in the slightest," Shi Hao continued.

"If I spend some time, I can indeed open other foreign lands that contain other supreme paths." Fang Ming frankly admitted that he didn't need to worry about anything in front of these people.

He then asked, "I wonder what kind of cooperation you fellow Daoists wish to establish with me?"

To be honest, he was quite curious about the details of this collaboration.

"From my observation of your system, the best way to improve your cultivation is to increase the number of worlds and continuously strengthen the origin of each world, thereby constantly perfecting your own path and achieving the ultimate sublimation of your own path!" Ye Fan looked at Fang Ming, smiled, and took over the topic, saying, "We intend to make a deal with you, fellow Daoist!"

Ye Fan did not immediately state his opinion, but looked at Fang Ming and said, "However, it is not safe to talk about it here, and it is not discreet enough. Let's go into your world and discuss it in detail."

Fang Ming didn't hesitate and nodded immediately. He knew his own special abilities. With his attribute panel, without the guidance of a token, no one could accurately locate him.

After receiving permission, the scenery changed, and they found themselves in a vast ocean in the myriad worlds.

He looked at Ye Fan and the others and said, "Fellow Daoists, you may now speak."

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are responsible for opening up the foreign lands outside the other Daos."

"We will help you, fellow Daoist, devour that perilous land of the strange plateau, and assist you in ascending to the supreme realm!" He paused briefly, then said in a deep voice, "To become the most powerful Immortal Emperor. No, even to completely surpass the Immortal Emperor!"

"What? Devouring the eerie plateau?" Fang Ming looked at the five people opposite him in astonishment.
