Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

The black dragon's eyes widened in surprise.

He realized that he seemed to have vaguely touched upon the greatest secret of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

"No wonder the Hongmeng Dojo has so many immortal experts."

"That's true... Otherwise, how could the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region alone have cultivated tens of thousands of Immortals?"

A knowing glint flashed in Black Dragon's eyes.

As far as he knew, the number of immortals in the Hongmeng Dojo was probably between 30,000 and 40,000.

Of course, this is only what is publicly known.

Hidden clans like the Xiu Clan, which thrive and multiply in the Five Elements Secret Realm, have little interaction with the primordial universe, and their specific strength is unknown to the outside world.

Even so, the Hongmeng Dojo's apparent power is already quite formidable.

There are at least four openly recognized Cosmic Venerables, plus 30,000 to 40,000 Immortal Powerhouses, and their overall strength far exceeds that of a single Cosmic Kingdom.

"You have cultivated in the Great Void Heaven for ten epochs."

"You should know that the cultivators in Taixu City are roughly divided into three categories."

The Ice and Fire Venerable seemed to be in a good mood, and said calmly, "The first category is the strong ones from the primordial universe like you; the second category is the strong ones from my cultivation clan; and the third category is the strong ones who have ascended from all the heavens and myriad worlds."

"I see."

After pondering for a while, the black dragon nodded.

These three types of powerful individuals are also subtly divided into three factions in Taixu City: the outsider faction, the local faction, and the ascension faction.

He had never known the origins of the "Ascension Sect" before, but now he suddenly realized it.

"How many worlds are there in this Pool of All Heavens, where worlds rise and fall?"

Looking at the unfathomable Pool of Heaven, which resembled a river of time and space, the Black Dragon couldn't help but turn and ask.

"A billion."

The Ice and Fire Venerable smiled slightly.

“There are so many!”

The black dragon was startled, but then realized something was wrong and asked in confusion, "If there are so many worlds, why is the number of experts in my Hongmeng Dojo so small?"

If even one immortal ascends to immortality in a world of ten billion squares, there would still be a billion immortal powerhouses.

"madness!"

The Ice and Fire Venerable sneered, "Let me ask you, if you were a powerful figure in a world, ruling as a king and nearly invincible, and the outside world had a far more vast realm, but once you ascended, you would just be an ordinary nobody, would you be willing to ascend?"

"not necessarily."

Black Dragon paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"The unwillingness to ascend is only one reason."

"Secondly, those powerful beings who ascend to the heavens may not necessarily be willing to submit to my Hongmeng Daoist Temple."

The Ice and Fire Venerable said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, the black dragon was horrified. Only after the Ice and Fire Venerable continued to explain did he learn some of the secrets about the Heavenly Pool.

In each of these myriad worlds, as long as the native life forms break through to immortality, they can ascend to the Five Elements Secret Realm.

Of course, you can also choose not to ascend.

However, immortality is already the limit of a world.

Once one breaks through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, the world cannot bear it, and one must ascend.

"Humph!"

"Those powerful individuals who ascended to the top were originally the chosen ones of their respective worlds, or giants of their own, and have always been arrogant and domineering, thinking themselves superior."

"Though I have ascended to the upper realm, how could I easily submit to someone else?"

"Some ascended experts not only refuse to join my Hongmeng Daoist Academy, but even attempt to kill and plunder its treasures."

"Ice and Fire Venerable said in a chilling tone."

"How dare they be so audacious?"

Black Dragon was utterly shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.

Only then did he realize why a single Reincarnation Platform required a Universe Venerable to oversee it.

It's probably not just because the Reincarnation Platform is more important, but also because native beings occasionally ascend to the upper realm and cause trouble.

The myriad realms, after all, contain a billion worlds, and some geniuses and powerful individuals are bound to be born there. Only a single cosmic sovereign can easily suppress them.

"In fact, the Ice and Fire Venerable's strength may be more than just that of a Universe Venerable!"

A bold idea surfaced in Black Dragon's mind.

After all, according to the Ice and Fire Venerable's previous account, there have been cosmic venerables who ascended to heaven in the myriad realms.

"The Cosmic Venerable... can still suppress it easily."

"The Ice and Fire Venerable can single-handedly oversee a billion worlds, so his strength must be extremely terrifying."

Black Dragon glanced at Icefire Venerable, a hint of shock flashing through his mind.

“Little one, I’ve told you everything I needed to say.”

"Come, prepare to enter the Reincarnation Platform for training!"

"Ice and Fire Venerable said calmly."

"what should I do?"

The black dragon looked at the Heavenly Pool, which was no more than a hundred meters wide, with a puzzled expression on its face.

"It's very simple, just jump down."

"Ice and Fire Venerable said with a smile."

"Wait! Jump down?"

Black Dragon was startled, but before he could react, Ice and Fire Venerable picked him up like an eagle snatching a chick and threw him into the Pool of All Heavens.

"I……"

Before Heilong could finish speaking, he was enveloped in the icy pool water.

He felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry, his body feeling like a stone falling into an abyss from which it would never reach the bottom.

Sinking and sinking...

Before the black dragon's consciousness completely slumbered, he heard the mocking voice of the Ice and Fire Venerable.

“Little guy, the duration of an Immortal-level training slot is ten epochs.”

"Let's meet again in 100,000 years!"

……

The Ice and Fire Venerable watched the black dragon's figure disappear into the Heavenly Pool, then turned away expressionlessly.

"This kid's strength is average. I don't know why the master would specifically pay attention to him."

The Ice and Fire Venerable shook his head, but a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Given his strength and status in the Hongmeng Dojo, the reason he was willing to talk so much with a Marquis-level Immortal like Black Dragon was certainly not because he was a chatterbox.

Just as the Ice and Fire Venerable was filled with doubts and sat cross-legged on the ground intending to cultivate, a young man's figure suddenly appeared.

"Your subordinate greets the Daoist Master!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Ice and Fire Venerable immediately rose and bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm.

"Has that immortal black dragon already entered the Reincarnation Platform?"

Ye Xingkong asked lightly.

"As per the Dao Lord's previous arrangement, a wisp of his true spirit has been reincarnated into the Abyss Demon Realm."

The Ice and Fire Venerable replied respectfully, "Indeed."

Ye Xingkong nodded and smiled, "Among the ten billion worlds, the Abyss Demon Realm is quite interesting. If he can seize the opportunity, he may be able to break through to the fourth level of the Purple Sun Body Refining Technique after he comes out."

"By the way, how is the missionary work going?"

Ye Xingkong turned around, his calm eyes fixed on the Ice and Fire Venerable, making the latter feel an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

"The Dao Lord... his strength is becoming increasingly terrifying!"

The Ice and Fire Venerable sighed inwardly, realizing that he was like a speck of dust in the infinite universe when facing the Primordial Dao Lord.

"The missionary program has been progressing steadily."

"We have now established Hongmeng Daoist Temples in 32,000 worlds to spread the legacy of our Hongmeng Daoist Temples."

The Ice and Fire Venerable bowed slightly and answered truthfully.

"Well done."

Ye Xingkong nodded in satisfaction, then said with a serious expression, "The myriad worlds are the foundation of my Hongmeng Daoist Field, and we must take them seriously."

Only by continuously cultivating strong individuals can a power stand firm in the universe.

A billion heavens and worlds...

Although both are naturally formed by the five elements of the universe, each world is relatively independent due to the unique structure of the universe.

There are certain restrictions on whether the strong from Tianyuan Mountain enter the myriad worlds or vice versa.

Every world develops from a primitive state, and without external interference, various civilizations will naturally emerge.

Such as the civilization of cultivating immortality, the civilization of magic, the civilization of fighting spirit, and so on.

Of course, although they are different civilizations, they are all based on the primal force of the universe.

However, the cultivation systems of these worlds are laughable in the eyes of the powerful beings of the primordial universe.

After all, the primordial universe has undergone endless development over countless years, and with access to the cultivation inheritances of the first two cycles, its exploration of the path of cultivation has become incredibly perfect.

Apprentice level, planetary level, stellar level, cosmic level, domain lord level, world lord level...

Every realm is perfect.

In contrast, the various cultivation paths in the myriad worlds, to put it nicely, are a diverse array of options; to put it bluntly, everyone is just feeling their way across the river.

Cultivation systems like immortality cultivation, magic, and martial arts are one thing, but some technological worlds even follow the path of "flesh and blood suffering, and mechanical ascension."

In Ye Xingkong's view, it was completely a crooked and evil path.

Why would someone choose to become a machine race instead of a perfectly good human? Even if they do manage to cultivate an immortal powerhouse, they'll still be nothing short of traitors!
It was for this reason that Ye Xingkong launched the "Preaching the Dao in All Realms Plan"!
He forced the powerful beings of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple to descend to each world, establishing Hongmeng Daoist Temples in every world to spread the cultivation traditions from the primordial universe.

In this way, the chances of powerful beings emerging in the myriad worlds will be higher.

Secondly, after these powerful individuals ascended to Tianyuan Mountain, they also developed a greater sense of identification with the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

However, forcibly descending to a lower realm and undergoing reincarnation are not the same thing.

The reincarnation platform training conducted by the Black Dragon was merely to allow a wisp of true spirit to be reborn into a new world, thus beginning a new life.

Protected by the power of the Five Elements, the origin of the universe, even if the Black Dragon perishes time and time again in the myriad realms, this wisp of true spirit will not be annihilated.

However, a forced descent to the lower realm involves a powerful individual physically descending to that realm.

If you are accidentally killed in this world, you will truly perish.

······
The primordial universe, the ancient star.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has developed into a colossal entity in the universe that cannot be ignored.

Although it is still some distance from the five top powers, its overall strength far surpasses that of any other cosmic nation.

swoosh~
Outer space of the ancient star.

A towering figure appeared out of thin air, standing on the void.

He wore a very strange suit of armor, which could not even be called armor. It was more like normal armor with tens of thousands of dense, dark green vines on it, with countless vines wrapped around him like silk.

His eyes gleamed with a faint green light as he gazed at the beautiful planet not far away.

"Hongmeng Dojo... Ancient Origin Star... Venerable Hongmeng..."

"How did it develop to such a scale in just a few hundred thousand years? What secrets does it possess?"

The Undying Venerable's voice was strange, like the friction of metal.

"This time, the Lord of Void Gold sent me to negotiate with Venerable Hongmeng."

"If we can obtain the formula for the Green God series of potions, that would be the best. If we can't, we must not offend Venerable Hongmeng."

The Immortal Venerable muttered to himself, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

Due to its incredible effects, the Green God series of potions, once launched, almost completely overwhelmed the original plant life cultivation methods of all major forces.

However, due to the limited production capacity of the potions and the sphere of influence of the Hongmeng Dojo, the Green God series of potions were initially only spread within a small area.

Therefore, the leaders of the five top powers didn't pay much attention at first.

After all, these cosmic lords are all high above, and a single cultivation session might involve seclusion for millions of years. They generally don't pay much attention to things that aren't extremely important.

Even now, 100,000 years later.

When the leaders of the five major powers suddenly came to their senses, they realized that a colossal entity that could not be ignored had appeared in human territory.

"The interests behind the Green God series of drugs are too great!"

"This is almost a revolutionary innovation in the field of pharmaceuticals. Even Venerable Hongmeng might not be able to protect it by himself!"

A greedy green glint flashed in the Immortal Venerable's eyes.

People see things from different perspectives depending on their position.

Ordinary powerful individuals view the Green God series of potions simply as a way to reduce the cost of cultivating plant life by tenfold.

However, in the eyes of the top leaders of various forces, this was no less than a groundbreaking innovation in the field of pharmaceuticals.

The Green God series of potions represents more than just a type of potion; it represents the apothecary heritage system from the Seven Towers.

Just like how the advent of the steam engine not only represented steam trains, but also ushered in an entire industrial age.

By studying the formulas of the Green God series of potions, the lineage of pharmacists throughout the entire primordial universe could likely be greatly advanced.

This is what the major powers truly care about!
"That old bastard Lord of Virtual Gold knows that I always work alone and have no interest in forming cliques."

"So, let me do this kind of work that offends people."

The Undying Venerable hovered in the void, gritting his teeth and cursing inwardly, "The Primordial Venerable is no small fry; his background is quite formidable!"

If the Green God series of potions were only controlled by a minor Domain Lord, Ye Xingkong would probably suffer the same fate as Luo Feng in the original story.

but……

Ye Xingkong himself is first and foremost a Universe Venerable (who has not yet revealed his strength as the Lord of the Universe), his wife Huanling is also a Universe Venerable, and his teacher, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, is an even greater Universe Overlord.

"Fortunately, Venerable Hongmeng did not join any faction."

"Otherwise, I'll really be in a difficult situation!"

The Undying Venerable muttered to himself, a ghostly green light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Xingkong and Huanling were merely Universe Venerables; he didn't take them seriously at all.

However, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is a cosmic overlord, and cannot be ignored.

"While the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is still adventuring on the Primitive Star and cannot return to human territory in the short term, let's get this done as soon as possible!"

The Immortal Venerable thought to himself.

He took a step and instantly appeared above the Ancient Origin Star.

boom!
Instantly, an incomparably terrifying pressure swept over, enveloping the entire Ancient Origin Star.

On the ancient star, hundreds of billions of beings felt a chilling aura spread out in an instant. Those with weaker strength were powerless to resist and were forced to bend over, unable to even lift their heads.

"Jie Jie!"

"Venerable Hongmeng!"

"Come out and see me!" (End of Chapter)
