Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

"Compared to this, this is simply paradise!"

Ye Ming, from the world of Under One Person, crossed over to this world. Ever since he stepped out of the interdimensional gate, he has come to know what a "higher world" is!

The spiritual energy that permeates the world and is omnipresent is far superior to the "Qi" in the world of Under One Person!

After setting foot in this place, his Six Treasures Immortal Thief began to operate uncontrollably, greedily devouring all life around him.

Unfortunately, the Saint Thief, who could devour almost everything in the Under One Person world, only devoured the spiritual energy within a 10-meter radius in the Shrouding the Heavens world.

As for the vitality of all things in the surrounding forest, it cannot absorb any of it.

This is both the upper limit of this technique in this world and the upper limit of Ye Ming's body. If there were any more, the Saint Thief could indeed help him transform it, but he himself could not consume it!

"Hiccup~"

I'm full!

"How are you feeling?" Zhetian Yeming sat cross-legged to the side, smiling as he looked at his other self.

"Not bad, but I need to relearn your enhanced Eight Extraordinary Techniques. I can focus on the Six Treasures Immortal Thief Technique and also learn the Ruthless Man's Devouring Heaven Demon Art; that's more suitable for me."

"That's called the Heaven-Devouring Immortal Technique!"

Ye Ming, the master of the Heaven-Covering Sect, said sternly, "I must correct your thinking. Even if you have other suns in your heart, here, there is only one true sun!"

Ye Ming remained silent.

No, you're the Holy Lord too?

(Holy Lord Ye Ming: Who called me?)

"If you specialize in Saint Thief, you can also cultivate Dual-Handed Techniques and Divine Hundred Refinements. Moreover, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques plus the Divine Spirit form a complete set. Won't it be incomplete if you cultivate them separately?" Ye Ming of Covering the Sky asked.

"Probably not, right? We'll deal with it if something goes wrong. With our current mindset, controlling these things should be a piece of cake, right?"

Ye Ming smiled and said, "Even if something unexpected happens, it's alright. I will neutralize it with my imperial power!"

"You've also become an imperial power?"

"That's right! Otherwise, why would I come to the world of Shrouding the Heavens? I came here to prove my Dao and become an Emperor!"

Ye Ming said matter-of-factly.

"You've attained enlightenment, so what am I supposed to do?" Ye Ming of Zhetian was speechless.

"Just you wait and see!"

Ye Ming said, "If I hadn't come, you would have proven your Dao; if I came, you would still prove your Dao. Wouldn't that mean I came for nothing?"

"..."

Ye Ming smiled helplessly, "Alright, then you can prove your Dao."

"But I need to remind you that even if we can share memories and thoughts, and even if my memories of being a Great Emperor become the foundation of your realm, you still have to cultivate yourself."

"And you must be quick. Dark turmoil is imminent. If you cannot become a Quasi-Emperor within a hundred years, I will begin the process of proving my Dao."

"We can't really die from recklessness, can we?"

"Can."

Ye Ming nodded, "In one hundred years, if I do not attain enlightenment, you will."

"Good." Ye Ming, the Heavenly Emperor, nodded with a smile.

"?"

"What's wrong?"

"What are you pretending for!" Ye Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Don't I know what I'm like?"

"Will we ultimately walk the only path among all the heavens?" Ye Ming of Zhetian replied with a smile.

"Not necessarily. If we have to pinpoint a starting point, it would be Warhammer 40 and Warhammer Fantasy, right?"

Ye Ming tilted his head and said, "If we are ultimately united, as the starting point that first opened the shared space, the point of unity lies with them."

"But they won't choose to unite. One wants to save humanity, and the other wants to save the world, but in the end, they both want to live ordinary lives."

"If we unify, it would be tantamount to killing ourselves and them as well."

"They won't do that."

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "Especially after seeing 'happiness' and 'contentment'."

"I've already gone through too much suffering for him, and witnessed his hatred and regret. Don't put any more pressure on him."

Zhetian Yeming nodded.

"In this way, everything will turn out for the best."

"To attain enlightenment, to transcend, to save humanity, and to save ourselves."

Ye Ming stood up and patted his Taoist robe.

"I'm going to see for myself what's really going on in this era teetering on the edge of darkness and turmoil!"

Ye Ming went down the mountain.

As they walked down the mountain, they hummed a little tune.

"The Way is but a handful of yellow earth—exhausting the spirit of human heroes."

"The Dharma is a rootless seed of disaster—it cannot be obtained, nor can it be forgotten."

"The earth is a source of suffering for the human heart, causing endless strife and hatred."

"My companion is a beautiful but empty skeleton—my pursuit on the path will ultimately come to nothing."

After humming his little tune, Ye Ming suddenly took out his phone and played the accompaniment. Then he sang loudly in the mountains, using a female opera voice.

"Can't have it, can't give it up, can't forget it."

"Just take things easy and let them go. Just listen to your own heartbeat."

Why care about other people's trends?

"Damn it, I'm a plagiarist too. If people heard this, they'd probably say I'm born with a Taoist heart."

Ye Ming sighed, then found a direction and headed towards the mortal dynasty.

Shortly after he left, a spot in the mountains suddenly loosened, and a chubby figure emerged from the ground, looking around blankly.

"I can't have it, I can't give it up, I can't forget it... Yes, how can I forget it?"

"But how can I move forward if I don't forget? How can I wait for him again?"

"We must move forward, we absolutely must move forward."

As the fat Taoist priest spoke, he raised his hand and swung it down at himself, severing all past ties with that single stroke.

"We must move forward, we absolutely must move forward."

As the fat Taoist priest spoke, he raised his hand and swung it down at himself, severing all past ties with that single stroke.

He vanished once more, leaving only a blank space as he walked aimlessly down the mountain...

Ye Ming walked into a small town in the mortal realm, sat down casually, and took out two pieces of inferior source fragments and threw them down.

"Waiter, bring me some food."

"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

When the waiter saw the two pieces of food, his eyes lit up. He put them away and then hurriedly went to serve Ye Ming the dishes.

Ye Ming looked out the window with curiosity, observing the diverse people and getting acquainted with the current era.

"Even after countless years, it remains stuck in the social era of ancient dynasties similar to Earth, where the class system is solidified due to longevity."

"However, it's best not to look at it from this perspective. After all, it's a world with immortals and the Great Dao. Compared to human development, becoming an immortal and achieving immortality is the real main theme."

With countless worlds as his backing, Ye Ming naturally understands the differences between worlds and that they cannot be generalized.

"People in the world of Shrouding the Heavens don't really cultivate their minds; they control their brains with power, and divine power replaces thinking."

"A powerful Daoist warrior battles an immortal, while the Four Great Emperors storm the Azure Emperor's tomb and subdue the imperial army..."

Ye Ming sighed helplessly. He also chased after people to kill them at the drop of a hat, leaving Ye Fan with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

"They want everything they see, bully lower-level cultivators, intimidate others with their power, and run rampant with their strength."

"Little did they know that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people, and those who kill will always be killed."

"How can one cultivate the Tao without a strong will?"

As Ye Ming sighed in admiration, words of praise rang out from the side.

"What you say is excellent, young friend!"

Just then, a Taoist priest approached, smiling, and asked, "I see you seem to have some thoughts on this, young friend. Would you mind having a chat with me?"

"rest assured."

He smiled and raised his hand, picking up the plate and wine pot.

"I brought my own food and drinks."
