Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

A pool ten feet square, steaming with mist, golden divine radiance erupting like a volcano.

Within the golden radiance, a fruit the size of a finger joint, entirely round and golden-yellow, with golden patterns covering its surface, floated uncertainly amidst streaks of auspicious light.

This book is first published online.

This fruit was precisely Fang Ming's seed fruit; after crossing the Gate of All Heavens, he appeared directly here.

"Where did it send me? Couldn't it have just sent me directly into a true Great Thousand World?" Within the fruit's inner world, Fang Ming was very helpless.

By sensing the origin of heaven and earth, Fang Ming knew he was within a world-within-a-world.

Because the two worlds were not completely isolated, he could perceive the origin of heaven and earth outside.

In his perception, he could clearly sense two origins of heaven and earth, one strong and one weak.

The strong one was naturally the outside world, which, according to his classification, belonged to a Small Thousand World.

The weak one was naturally the world he was currently in, considered a small world.

After a brief sensing, he clearly felt that the strength of the outside world's origin of heaven and earth was not high, inferior even to the Spirit Realm where Old Devil was, only slightly stronger than the Spirit Realm's Lower Realm.

By the strength of the origin of heaven and earth, he could easily judge that the strength of this world was probably not that high.

Within the seed fruit's inner world, Fang Ming shook his head and muttered, "Bad luck.

I can only stay here for a thousand years."

Host: Fang Ming

Race: Quasi-Innate Spirit Root (A spirit root born when heaven and earth first opened, with noble origins.)

Cultivation: Xuan Tian Treasure

Trait One: Flowering and Fruiting (Under normal circumstances, flowering and fruiting are equivalent to death.)

Trait Two: Innately Close to the Dao (You are a darling of heaven and earth, naturally close to the Dao.)

Trait Three: Environmental Dependence (The stronger the heaven and earth environment you grow in, the stronger the fruit you produce.)

Gate of All Heavens Opening Time: One thousand years later.

Opening the attribute panel, as expected, the Gate of All Heavens opening time had reset.

"Alright, this place seems good, it's a treasure land.

I'll just take root and sprout here for now."

Thinking of this, the golden fruit trembled, ignoring the pressure surging from all directions, and steadily landed in the spring pool, sinking into the golden wet mud and sand.

Instantly, as the seed fruit was submerged by the golden mud and sand, Fang Ming sensed a rich aura of life.

"There seems to be something here, it's very beneficial for the growth of spirit plants!" Fang Ming felt a slight surprise in his heart.

That a small world could produce such a thing somewhat surprised him.

"Since it's not a Great Thousand World, the palm heaven bottle's green liquid will remain sealed for use at the appropriate time."

Fang Ming's thoughts turned, and he immersed himself in the heaven and earth laws of this world.

Although it was just a Small Thousand World, the Great Dao laws that constituted the origin of heaven and earth were still worth comprehending.

There were similar places, and also entirely different places.

For Fang Ming, comprehending different Great Daos of heaven and earth naturally brought many benefits.

He was not in a hurry to leave, attempting to search for a potentially existing Great Thousand World.

"The difference is huge!" A month later, Fang Ming woke up from his comprehension, his expression slightly surprised.

The Great Dao laws that constituted the origin of heaven and earth were significantly different from Old Devil's side; Fang Ming sensed a very obvious difference.

"It doesn't seem to be born from natural creation, but rather artificially made."

Fang Ming furrowed his brow and whispered, "Some Great Dao laws are stronger..."

Yes, after comprehending the Great Dao laws of heaven and earth in this world for a month, Fang Ming noticed some clues.

The combination of Great Dao laws that constituted the origin of heaven and earth in this world was not as natural as in the previous mortal world.

The various law combinations forming the origin of this world and the 'World' Great Dao felt somewhat artificial.

After such a combination, it didn't seem quite perfect.

"In other words, this is a Small Thousand World created by a great divine ability user?"

Thinking of this, Fang Ming immediately felt fortunate that he had chosen to act cautiously upon his arrival.

If he had immediately released his divine sense to sweep around, he might have been discovered.

With his current strength, he was far from being able to create a true Small Thousand World, still very far from that level.

Divine sense probing could easily be detected by powerful cultivators.

"If that's the case, then this place might very well be a treasure land, a very important location!"

Thinking this, Fang Ming's heart stirred, and he quietly released his divine sense, covering the ten-foot square spring pool.

"Huh?

What is this?"

Instantly, Fang Ming's eyes lit up, then he showed a surprised expression, "A small golden dragon!?"

His divine sense swept over, and a small golden dragon, one foot long and entirely resplendent gold, lay dormant in the wet mud and sand, sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the changes around it.

"It's not a real dragon, but something transformed from a certain liquid!"

After carefully observing for a while, Fang Ming came to a conclusion.

Just as he observed, it wasn't a real dragon, but something transformed from a liquid with powerful spirituality, containing a large amount of special substances and immense vitality.

After observing for a period, Fang Ming knew that this small golden dragon possessed a certain level of intelligence.

"But why do I keep feeling a sense of déjà vu!"

Within the seed fruit's inner world, Fang Ming stroked his chin, always feeling a sense of déjà vu.

"A ten-foot square golden spring pool, golden mud and sand filled with the aura of life, a small golden dragon..."

Fang Ming showed a thoughtful expression, his divine sense cautiously spreading outwards, and he muttered softly, "The surroundings are also a Medicine Garden... and the spirit medicines here seem quite extraordinary..."

Thinking up to this point, a flash of inspiration, like the Nine Heavens Thunder descending, struck.

Fang Ming's eyelid twitched, and the four characters 'Perfect World' surfaced in his mind.

After repeated searches with his powerful divine sense, Fang Ming found descriptions that matched the current location.

It was precisely the Divine Medicine Garden within the Hundred Shattering Mountains.

Everything here completely matched everything in the Divine Medicine Garden.

"Whether it is or not, one look will tell."

With his thoughts turning, Fang Ming's divine sense cautiously spread out.

After a while, Fang Ming withdrew his divine sense, sat cross-legged in the center of the inner world, and began to ponder.

Undoubtedly, combining the various discoveries of his divine sense, especially the cultivation system, Fang Ming already knew where this place was.

It was located within a small world in the Hundred Shattering Mountains of the Desolate Region, within the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm cage in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

This also matched his speculation; the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm cage was indeed a world artificially created later, rather than naturally formed.

"Since that's the case, then I can plan things out properly!"

Fang Ming stroked his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

Judging from the situation of the Undying Spring, it was clear that the Hundred Shattering Mountains plot hadn't started yet, leaving too much room for manipulation.

Most importantly, Shi Hao was completely different from Old Devil.

When the Immortal Vine revived, Old Devil had already been struggling in the cultivation world for hundreds of years, making it incredibly difficult to become close friends with him.

But Shi Hao was different.

When the Hundred Shattering Mountains plot began, he was still a child with a relatively simple personality, making it not difficult to gain his trust.

Fang Ming muttered to himself, "The Human Body Secret Realm cultivation system Shi Hao pioneered, the Human Body Secret Realms cultivated might not necessarily be unable to serve as a special kind of world!"

The cultivation system Shi Hao pioneered, the Human Body Secret Realms cultivated were not illusory, but real and substantial existences.

Even if a cultivator died, the secret realm world formed by the Human Body Secret Realms would still exist.

One could see a bit of this from the Heavenly Venerate's body after the death of the later Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerate; the Dao Palace and Immortal Platform even evolved into ancient life stars respectively.

"Since I temporarily cannot break the shackles of my environmental dependence, I'll just directly find an ultimate great environment!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Fang Ming's face.

Since the normal external great heaven and earth had limitations, it was better to change his way of thinking.

He pondered, after Shi Hao cultivated to Immortal Emperor with the Secret Realm system, how powerful would the secret realm world he cultivated himself become?

If Fang Ming could grow within such a secret realm world and reach his limit, he would undoubtedly possess unimaginable strength!

"Speaking of which, the cultivation system in this world seems more suitable for me compared to Old Devil's side; perhaps I can find a path..."

Fang Ming whispered, "Using both approaches is a better choice.

Shi Hao's growth is for the future, but I also cannot miss the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths great heaven and earth..."

"Since that's the case, then I must plan things out properly!"

Within the seed fruit's inner world, Fang Ming slowly nodded.
