Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 259: Nothing is Simple

After watching the Moral Heavenly Lord completely disappear, Qing Di sighed, "One Dao Fruit per epoch, who will it be this epoch?"

Hearing his words, Meng Qi asked with considerable curiosity, "Senior, can there only be one Dao Fruit per epoch?"

Qing Di nodded and said, "There can only be one, even if one achieves the completion of Seeking Emptiness by Subtracting from Oneself. That's why the ancient existences who have achieved the雏形 (prototype) of the Dao Fruit are all competing."

Saying this, he looked at Ye Fan and the others and said, "Compared to the two paths, the path to transcendence for a few Fellow Daoists is relatively better; you don't need to compete for these."

Hearing Qing Di's words, Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Actually, our path is not peaceful either. If it weren't for the help of Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist, if we were to transcend, it would definitely be an incomparably bloody path."

Ye Fan looked at Meng Qi, Gu Xiaosang, and Qing Di, and said, "Everyone, think about it, aren't these All Heavens, this Heaven and Earth, and even the endless beings, all part of the 'Dao'? Can they be used to Sacrifice Dao if we change our perspective?"

After three times of Sacrifice Dao, they had already acutely sensed certain things.

These countless All Heavens, this endless Time and space, Chaos, beyond the All Heavens World, are essentially part of the Supreme Dao, and can be used for 'Sacrifice', which can enhance oneself.

Imagine sacrificing all of these, repeatedly devouring the Supreme Dao, constantly transforming oneself, and expanding the scope of disregard. One day, one will be able to completely sacrifice the 'Dao' and become a true 'Sacrifice Dao'.

Then one can unscrupulously restart, reshape, and repeatedly sacrifice the 'Dao' again and again, becoming an unimaginable existence.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Meng Qi and the others shivered, thinking, "As expected, the path to transcendence is not simple!"

"So, essentially, wanting to transcend is actually very difficult," Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Sacrificing Dao again and again, repeating this cycle, can one truly reach that ultimate destination? Speaking of which, the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits of you all, after all, cannot be equated with the true 'Dao'!" Qing Di looked at Ye Fan and the others with some doubt.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Di has clearly forgotten how we became Immortal Emperors just now," Ye Fan reminded with a smile, then he added, "Moreover, in fact, it's not that we cannot fully obtain everything of the Dao. If Fellow Daoist Qing Di walks this path in the future, you will understand."

Qing Di recalled the scene of the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit being born that he had just witnessed and immediately came back to his senses.

Although the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit itself is not a complete Dao, it cannot be said to be just a fraction of the Dao. They are the Dao that is completing itself, unlike the prototype of the Dao Fruit, which is still just a prototype.

Furthermore, that Heavenly Emperor also said that they are not unable to obtain everything of the Dao, which is enough to prove that as the number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits increases, they can become the 'Dao'.

If that scene just now were reflected again with an unattainable number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits, Qing Di didn't know what would happen.

At that time, repeating the cycle, spiraling upwards in Reincarnation, would definitely give birth to an existence that is immeasurable, transcends imagination, and transcends understanding.

At this moment, not only Qing Di, but also Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang present admitted that they were tempted. This method of transcendence seemed truly powerful.

Of course, there is a prerequisite: one needs to first become an Immortal Emperor, successfully Sacrifice Dao, and then have a sufficient number of external Daos. Only then is success possible.

Becoming a Beyond is difficult, and becoming an Immortal Emperor is also not easy, or even more difficult. Sacrifice Dao is even more difficult than that, but the subsequent steps seem to be easier.

Mainly, after becoming a Beyond, and then becoming an Immortal Emperor, these two paths do not conflict; it is not a choice between two options.

Qing Di cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for the guidance."

"No problem, we also obtained crucial external Dao information from Fellow Daoist," Ye Fan said with a smile.

At this time, as Meng Qi's thoughts turned, he asked, "Three Old fellow villagers, how long will that Dao Gate outside be open?"

"There is no time limit for that Dao Gate to open," Fang Ming looked at Meng Qi and said, "Old fellow villager, it's not impossible for you not to follow the method of Seeking Emptiness by Subtracting from Oneself in the future."

Meng Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this. This was a great thing for him and for the Beyonds he was on good terms with.

With an extra path, the struggles among the Beyonds might not be so intense in the future.

After a slight hesitation, Meng Qi spoke, "A few Old fellow villagers, Xiaosang and I want to attain Beyond here, elevate our life essence, and then leave. Do you think that's feasible?"

Qing Di said that although this place is not as good as the True World, its essence is higher than that of the separate Netherworld or Immortal Realm.

One can already become a Beyond here. Although not a normal Beyond like in the True World, the essence has been elevated, and the actual combat strength will not be much weaker than a normal Beyond.

It is completely possible to enter the True World and attain it again, which would be very easy at that time. After all, who wants to suffer hardship if there's no need?

Because they have already attained it once, their life essence has been elevated, they possess their own River of Time, and their essence has escaped the entanglement of the River of Time and the sinking in the Sea of Bitterness, standing at the highest level of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, closer to the 'Dao'.

An incomplete 'Dao' is still 'Dao'.

"Of course, there is no problem," Fang Ming had no objection to this. He said, "I also know some things about the Beyond. Do you need my help?"

To become a Beyond, one needs to trace back and unify a part of the past, illuminate and accommodate a certain future, connect oneself into a line in the River of Time, and then condense the illusory Great Dao into an illusory Dao Fruit.

By combining the power of tracing back the past, occupying the future, and the illusory Dao Fruit, one's innate spiritual light completely jumps out of the River of Time, no longer stained by Time, thus stepping out of the Sea of Bitterness and ascending to the Beyond.

Currently, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, in this place, within the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds belonging to this Supreme Great Heaven and Earth, naturally do not have the imprints of their other selves, nor the imprints of the past.

For Fang Ming, these are not issues. As an Immortal Emperor, he can accomplish these things with a single thought.

"Old fellow villager has already helped us enough," Meng Qi shook his head and said, "We are not people who don't know what's good for us."

He looked at the teacup on the stone table and felt something. His intuition told him that after drinking this cup of tea, the Creation Realm would be complete.

Since Meng Qi said so, Fang Ming also nodded.

Anyway, at the Immortal King realm here, one can already slightly alter the past and future. After Meng Qi's Creation is complete, at that level, within this Supreme Great Heaven and Earth, he will have the ability to leave imprints in the past and leave 'other selves' in the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds belonging to this Supreme Great Heaven and Earth.

As expected, after Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang drank the tea, the inner Heaven and Earth within them rapidly expanded, further developing towards the True World, and their cultivation rapidly surged.

In just a moment, they traced back to their original selves again, reaching the completion of the Creation Realm.

Of course, their original selves here were when they first entered this World, not their original selves in the outside True World.

However, the difference was not significant because their level had already reached it.

Seeing that nothing happened to Meng Qi, Qing Di stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Three Fellow Daoists, I have gained a lot this time. Taihao will leave first and come back later to discuss the Dao."

After Qing Di left, Fang Ming looked at Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang and said, "Old fellow villager, sister-in-law, cultivate well. What you see is just a corner of this Heaven and Earth. This Heaven and Earth is vast and wonderful enough. Leaving sufficiently profound imprints is completely possible."

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang realized something and immediately cupped their fists, saying, "Thank you this time. You have given us hope to break free from the will of Heaven."

Qing Di left and instantly returned to the Fusang Realm. He stood quietly in the center of this sacred pure land, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the Netherworld and murmured, "Golden Emperor... Unfortunately, variables outside the situation have appeared. The Three Pure Ones should have a higher chance of winning..."

At this time, in the Netherworld, Zhenyuanzi, who had transformed into a Ghost Emperor, found Nine Spiritual Yuan Sage and reclaimed ownership of the Netherworld.

Not only the Vacuum Homeland, but at this moment, the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom and the Land of Ultimate Bliss also returned.

The full moon rose from the Netherworld, its treasure light illuminating the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds. The light encompassing all phenomena flowed. It did not head towards the Jianmu, but instead towards the Fusang Ancient Tree Realm.

That full moon fell into the Fusang Ancient Tree Realm, did not stay there long, and soon flew up again, landing in the Netherworld.

"Visitors from outside... other methods of transcendence!" The Golden Emperor's voice sounded, neither sad nor joyful, without any emotional fluctuations, completely unaffected.

For her, it might not be a bad thing. The stronger Gu Xiaosang became, the closer she would be to completion.

Things quickly returned to calm.

Twenty years later, the True World Heaven and Earth lost all light, even black and white disappeared. The Beyond phenomenon 'Heaven and Earth Chaos' appeared.

The moment Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang stepped out of the All Heavens World Gate, countless figures flew out from the past and future. Their own Rivers of Time surrounded them, accommodating the countless figures flying towards them.

Essentially, they had already surpassed the Creation realm.

Subsequently, their different Beyond phenomena appeared.

Such as Meng Qi's 'Primal Beginning Reappearance', 'Illuminating the Ten Directions', 'Seeing the Eternal Beginning', 'Recreating the Epoch', etc.; belonging to Gu Xiaosang, End of Lifelessness, Illuminating the Ten Directions, 'Seeing the Eternal Beginning', etc...

Essentially, they were already Beyonds. Now they were attaining Beyond for the second time, and the speed was so fast that people couldn't react. In just an instant, this process was completed, leaving everyone stunned and dumbfounded.

Meng Qi recalled everything and looked at Gu Xiaosang beside him, saying, "Now is the critical period of struggle. Even if we are to walk another path, that will be a matter for the next epoch."

"With the help of Husband's Old fellow villager, the advantage is truly ours now," Gu Xiaosang said with a radiant smile, "We are also Beyonds, we are not afraid of them anymore."

With a turn of thought, the two had already returned to the Jade Void Palace.

On the other side, within the All Heavens World, Fang Ming had already cut out four avatars, planning to cultivate four Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits at once.

At his level, bearing such a number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits was not a problem.

In the future, after unifying the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. After grasping the opportunity of Sacrifice Dao, the number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits he could bear would naturally be greater.

Because he used the 'Dao' from the Perfect side as the foundation to cultivate into an Immortal Emperor, and he still carried the information of the four 'Daos', he could cultivate four Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits.

One is the 'Dao' from Old Devil's side, the second is the 'Dao' from before his soul transmigration, the third is the 'Dao' from Jiangnan's location, and the fourth is the 'Dao' from Meng Qi's place.

Because they were avatars with no cultivation whatsoever, completely blank, and did not possess the characteristics of an Immortal Emperor, they could naturally be placed in the Heaven and Earth affiliated with his Supreme Great Heaven and Earth to cultivate, enjoying the benefits of Time acceleration.

Although only twenty years had passed in normal Time, in a certain Great Chiliocosm Universe, two thousand years had actually passed.

His four avatars had already cultivated to the Immortal King realm!

"No wonder Ye Fan and the others said it was unexpectedly smooth before. With their own Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, breaking through was not difficult at all."

After trying it out now, Fang Ming's mind was as clear as a mirror.
