Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 433 Tianwu
True dragons roared, true phoenixes flapped their wings, Kunpeng transformed into yin and yang, and Qilin trod the heavens and earth... Countless immortal laws surged forth, like a river bursting its banks, pouring into the great rift.

The world's barriers have been broken!

Li Yao could sense from afar that the cultivation environment of the other world was countless times greater than that of the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

The vast energy tide transformed into a stunning sight, condensing into a rain of light that poured into the body.

That energy was immense; in just a moment, it was equivalent to several days of arduous cultivation in the human world.

If this continues, it's obvious how significant the difference will be between those who cultivate in the two different places.

"This is the Immortal Realm. It's just an ordinary place, yet it's even more amazing than the Pure Land of Cultivation in the Shrouding the Heavens Universe." Li Yao had lost count of how many times he had exclaimed in amazement.

Calming his thoughts, he cut off his distractions and began to take action.

The Immortal Realm is wonderful, but it's not a place to stay for long. This trip is just to see it for myself, and I must leave as soon as possible.

Even though the heavens are now desolate and the Immortal Realm is fragmented, as the homeland of immortals, there may still be powerful Immortal Kings.

Li Yao couldn't fathom what kind of supernatural powers such a powerful being possessed, and he felt extremely unsafe staying here.

"boom!"

The Immortal Furnace was unleashed, emitting dazzling light. The laws of the Emperor's Way intertwined and charged into the vast universe ahead.

Ten-colored celestial light descended, the furnace lid opened wide, and an infinite suction force erupted, dimming the entire starlight as it was sucked into the furnace.

……

Azure Star.

This is a vast ancient planet teeming with life, home to countless races and trillions of beings, where cultivation is prevalent.

Since the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor created the Human Body Secret Realm Method and spread it widely. Over the endless years that followed, it gradually became the mainstream cultivation method.

The Immortal Realm was no exception; they were the first universe to adopt the Human Body Secret Realm Method as a whole.

Azure Star is very large, about seventeen times the size of the ancient Big Dipper, and it is vast and boundless.

This star is teeming with powerful figures, with countless Saints, Great Saints as numerous as sparks, and a fair number of Supremes and Extreme Dao Supremes as well.

On this one ancient star alone, there are nearly ten supreme beings who are still alive, who are also the emperors of the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

This is an exaggerated number. In the tens of millions of years of the universe, from the mythological era to the present, there have only been a little over a hundred emperors.

Of course, such a comparison is definitely unfair. The cultivation environment in the Immortal Realm is better, and there is no rule that only one Great Emperor can attain enlightenment in a single lifetime.

However, apart from these natural and environmental factors, a good tradition of spiritual practice is also an essential element.

Because of its vast territory, abundant resources, and numerous talented individuals, the Immortal Realm has become home to many powerful figures due to constant battles and clashes of different ideologies.

As the homeland of immortals, the Immortal Realm has always held the top position among all the heavens, regardless of the era. Even now, with the realm fragmented, this situation has not changed.

The sixth secret realm that is circulating in the universe today is the work of the King of the Immortal Realm.

He created the sixth secret realm and spread it throughout the world.

This was clearly not Emperor Huangtian's original intention. The reason he only passed down the five secret realms was that he hoped that in the vast heavens, there would be successors who would find different paths and let a hundred flowers bloom, rather than being confined to a rigid upgrade route.

Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will die!

All people with great wisdom understand this principle.

In the realm of humanitarianism, this is actually just a foundational stage within the entire system.

Young eagles must spread their wings on their own to fly to higher altitudes, rather than always following their parents.

That might be safer and smoother, but it would also mean losing the ability to go it alone.

However, after the Chaotic Ancient Era, the heavens were truly desolate.

After the Desolate Emperor ruled over all ages, he disappeared for a long time, but later returned once more, summoning powerful Immortal Kings to conquer an even more magnificent world.

Therefore, for a long time, the highest combat power in the vast heavens was only at the level of a quasi-immortal king, and no new immortal kings were born for a long time.

It was a desolate era, like a stagnant pool, and the heavens were once again in need of change.

Every era has its own rules for survival.

It was in this situation that a person named Gu Tuo was born. He possessed great wisdom and perseverance, and was exceptionally talented. He sang all the way, created the sixth secret realm, broke through to the Immortal King realm, and passed down the sixth secret realm so that all living beings could learn from it.

He was the first Immortal King in the post-desolate Heavenly Emperor era, and it was because of his appearance that the heavens gradually prospered and recovered their vitality.

The Immortal Realm became great again because of his appearance!
Azure Star is located on the edge of the Immortal Realm, making it a veritable countryside, but it also has many sacred places for cultivation.

Tianwu Mountain is a sacred place for cultivation on the planet Azure Star. It has a long history of nearly a million years and was founded by a supreme being.

Today, after many years, this holy land has become one of the top powers on Azure Star.

Its founding ancestor is still alive, and his cultivation has been continuously improving over the past million years. More than 500,000 years ago, he transformed into an ultimate supreme being, standing at the pinnacle of the human realm.

Even in the entire Immortal Realm, a powerhouse of this level is not considered weak. With one more step, they can enter the realm of Immortal Dao.

"Buzz!"

In a chaotic cave on Tianwu Mountain, amidst swirling immortal mists, interwoven laws, and booming sounds of the Great Dao, a white-haired youth sat cross-legged on a stone platform, his entire body radiating brilliant light, causing all five secret realms to glow.

He is no longer young, and the constant battles have caused him many hidden injuries, making it difficult for him to live to the theoretically limit of two million years for a supreme being.

Only by breaking through to the realm of immortality can one truly achieve longevity and immortality.

The path to becoming a true immortal is not easy; it is a qualitative leap, not something that can be achieved simply by enduring hardship.

The Heavenly Martial Supreme is indeed a prodigy, but so far he has not seen the path to true immortality.

Although lifespan is still ample, with at least 200,000 years remaining, this amount of time is not much for the beings of the Immortal Realm.

Especially when failing to break through means certain death, the sense of urgency is amplified.

Therefore, the Supreme Heavenly Martial has now put aside all distractions and focused on enlightenment and cultivation, hoping to gain some understanding.

At this moment, his primordial spirit merged with heaven and earth, transcending self and other things, wandering in the realm of the Dao.

In this situation, the perception of the divine will be amplified, and things that were previously imperceptible will now be sensed.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the Heavenly Martial Supreme, who was in the process of comprehending the Dao, opened his eyes, and two dazzling divine rays shot out from his pupils, sharp as lightning, cutting through the void with a hissing sound.

"The fluctuation just now?" He hesitated.

During his profound enlightenment, a terrifying fluctuation emanated from a distant realm beyond, but it vanished in an instant. Furthermore, he seemed to faintly sense another kind of power of law.

Without hesitation, the Heavenly Martial Supreme stood up, his surging blood and qi flowing like a long river.

Regardless, he was prepared to go and see, because the fluctuations were completely unfamiliar and something he had never experienced before.

The Heavenly Martial Supreme was tall and imposing, dressed in white robes. His skin was as smooth as jade, yet he possessed a lithe and agile air. His white hair was loose and flowing like a waterfall.

His terrifying aura was concealed, unnoticed by anyone, but if someone were to face him at close range, they could feel his terrifying power.

Having cultivated his skills in the Supreme Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, the Heavenly Martial Supreme has not wasted his time. His cultivation has reached the pinnacle of creation, making him a top expert in this field.

"Hey!"

With a sweep of his jade-white hand, he tore open the void, plunging it into darkness. He stepped into the void and vanished from the cave.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived outside the realm, transforming into a divine light and rushing towards the place from which the fluctuations originated.

Compared to the starry sky of the universe, the Immortal Realm is obviously much more boundless. Even though there are many great stars, the distance between each one is extremely far, and even saints cannot cross it; they need to use teleportation arrays.

The Heavenly Martial Supreme moved with incredible speed, each step a fleeting illusion, the surrounding scenery constantly shifting.

……

At the edge of the barrier, Li Yao stood on the ancient road, not stepping into the immortal realm, but letting the immortal furnace cave in to collect longevity substances.

The Immortal Path in the Mortal World, as the name suggests, is about enduring hardship in the purgatory of the mortal world, constantly discovering the potential within one's body, transforming oneself in the face of death, and living life after life until one is adorned by the mortal world and the passage of time can wash away all obstacles, only then can one be considered to have successfully traversed this path.

Therefore, Li Yao did not intend to come into contact with the rules of the Immortal Realm and the essence of longevity; he only planned to collect them and give them to those around him.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he looked into the distance.

Over there, in the far distance, a terrifying aura swept in at incredible speed. Even a cursory perception was enough to sense the power of that person.

"The level of a second-generation emperor!" Before even setting foot in the Immortal Realm, a show of force has already arrived.

Throughout the ancient history of the world of "Covering the Sky," there are only a handful of powerful individuals with this level of combat strength; they are extremely rare.

But in the Immortal Realm, in such a short time, one has already appeared!
Li Yao pioneered the Great Dao of Primordial Spirit and further refined the Secret of the Former Characters and the Art of Pacifying Chaos, making his Primordial Spirit exceptionally powerful, even surpassing his cultivation level.

In just a short moment, he fully sensed the arrival of the powerful figure.

His life force was boundless, his blood and energy were vigorous, and his cultivation was very strong. He had not just reached the level of a second-generation emperor, but had gone very far in that realm.

Li Yao remained calm and made no attempt to flee. He continued to steer the immortal furnace to absorb massive amounts of essence and refine longevity substances.

He was merely the Second Emperor; though powerful, he was not enough to make the emperor wary.

With his current cultivation level, he could suppress a second-generation emperor with a flick of his finger.

Soon, on the other side of the starry sea, a white-haired youth appeared, his body surrounded by dazzling flames, his eyes incredibly captivating, and he immediately locked onto Li Yao on the ancient road.

At this moment, the barrier between worlds was broken, tearing open a huge rift, just like the immortal path that appeared above the desolate forbidden land, clearly connecting to another world.

"You come from another universe?!" The Heavenly Martial Supreme frowned, finally realizing what that strange fluctuation was—it was the power of the rules from another universe.

In the vast heavens and countless universes, the Immortal Realm is, to put it simply, just one of the larger ones.

Therefore, the Heavenly Martial Supreme was not unfamiliar with the idea of ​​visitors from another universe.

Compared to the Immortal Realm, other universes are just rural areas, and he's not very interested in them.

Consequently, the way they looked at Li Yao had the feeling of a city dweller looking at a country bumpkin, that arrogance ingrained in their bones was on full display.

But when his gaze shifted and he saw the ten-colored immortal furnace floating under the starry sky, he couldn't help but reveal a greedy look.

It was a magnificent divine furnace, radiating dazzling divine light. At this moment, it did not deliberately shrink, but instead returned to its original form, the size of a small hill, and was perfectly refined.

This is a real feeling, not an extension of magic power; it is absolutely real.

"The Nine-Colored Series Immortal Gold Furnace!" Heavenly Martial Supreme couldn't help but exclaim.

The Immortal Realm is filled with countless divine treasures, but it is also populated by a large number of people, leading to fierce competition and a more brutal distribution of resources than the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, even someone as unlucky as Hengyu found a large piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold after breaking through to the Great Emperor realm and used it to refine the Hengyu Furnace.

In the Immortal Realm, even the Supreme Being of the Ultimate Path is considered a powerful figure, but in front of a True Immortal, they are nothing.

Extreme materials are the exclusive sacred objects of the Great Emperors in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, but in the myriad heavens, they belong to the True Immortals and can transform into immortal artifacts as their master's cultivation breaks through.

The same applies to divine medicines. In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, most emperors live a second life, but in the Immortal Realm, most supreme beings only live one life.

Because they have no opportunity to consume divine medicine, such strategic resources are controlled by immortal giants and are rarely revealed to the outside world.

It's even more impossible for a divine herb to grow alongside a great emperor during his reign.

There are ten Supreme Beings on the Azure Star alone, and divine medicines are not just roadside weeds; many Supreme Beings have never even seen one in their entire lives.

There are few job opportunities in big cities, and even fewer opportunities to obtain rare and valuable health products.

Although the wording is incorrect, the meaning is roughly the same.

Therefore, when the Heavenly Martial Supreme saw the Immortal Gold Furnace, how could he possibly resist the greed in his heart?

His weapon was nothing more than a weapon mixed with the primordial copper of all things.

"Fellow Daoist is truly blessed with good fortune and luck." The desire in the eyes of the Heavenly Martial Supreme could no longer be suppressed as he stared intently at the Immortal Furnace.

"Heh." Li Yao chuckled and said, "Don't bother looking. No matter how much you see, your name won't be engraved on it."

This person's behavior was so obvious; his gaze was completely naked, without any attempt to conceal it.

Furthermore, his temperament is far too poor. Although the Immortal Furnace is extremely rare, he can't take his eyes off it. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

In the mighty Immortal Realm, immortal gold shouldn't be such a rare commodity, right?
Even in its most destitute state, it is still the homeland of immortals, where all sorts of rare and wondrous treasures are likely a thousand times more extravagant than those in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Having been exposed, the Heavenly Martial Supreme was somewhat annoyed, but upon seeing the Immortal Furnace, he suppressed his anger and tried his best to speak in a gentle tone:
"Fellow Daoist must be from another universe. This is your first time descending upon the Immortal Realm. I suppose there are many things you are not yet aware of. Perhaps I can be of service to you."

"And then, the reward is the Immortal Gold Furnace," Li Yao said calmly.

He was extremely unhappy about being coveted. If Tianwu hadn't been so far away, and if he hadn't been afraid of accidentally alerting the enemy and letting him escape, he would have killed him long ago.

"Haha, if you, fellow Daoist, are willing to help me out, I will gladly accept." The Heavenly Martial Supreme laughed heartily, giving the impression that he had a very close relationship with Li Yao.

But deep down, she couldn't help but feel contempt. After all, she was from the countryside, and when she saw him, a person from the Immortal Realm, she wanted to curry favor with him.
