Chapter 463 Evolutionary Path System Erosion

"Those Immortal Kings also cultivated the evolutionary path system that uses the body as a seed. It seems that the dark matter flowed out from their potential gates." Yun Hua recalled some details. Originally, ordinary dark matter only eroded the physical body and primordial spirit, but now it seemed to be more advanced and covert.

"Could it be that when I faced those Immortal Kings last time, the Immortal King who held the cauldron poured the dark matter from his cauldron onto me, he was trying to plant this kind of pollution in me?" Yunhua subconsciously thought of the situation she faced last time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth.

Yunhua guided the black blood to erode himself, and then explored the back of the passage. He wanted to find the secrets behind it. This method was too terrifying, but it could not do anything to him. However, it was not necessarily the case for others.

"This passage... I wonder where it leads?" Yunhua sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused all his senses on the other side of the passage.

This was a passage that almost didn't exist in reality, giving Yunhua a sense of unreality; but looking carefully to the other side of the passage, he could see some crystalline substances flowing with nine-colored light, sacred and dazzling? Appearing on the other side? This made his eyelids twitch wildly.

"This is... dark matter? Even more primordial dark matter!" Yunhua was shocked.

The sacred light painted like strands of light rain, sprinkling the entire illusory passageway.

But this sacred rain of light put immense pressure on Yunhua. Were those things too terrifying? They wanted to corrupt him and plunge him into darkness.

"Dark matter is something sacred to those dark beings, and even to those of us who haven't fallen into darkness, it appears radiant; but in reality, it is the most concentrated and dangerous form of dark matter." Yunhua was secretly shocked.

Divine dark matter, surpassing even the pure dark matter seen before!

Darkness at its extreme becomes something sacred, but in reality, it is even more dangerous and terrifying.

"This level of dark matter is even more terrifying than the dark matter at the Immortal King level. It's at least at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. I never expected that there would be something like this behind this passage. No wonder the darkness is endless." Yunhua's perception continued to advance along this virtual passage.

What lay ahead became increasingly terrifying and bizarre, and the atmosphere there gave Yunhua a strange feeling.

He felt as if he had transcended time and space, entering an unimaginable place. This feeling was not like the real world, but rather like an illusion. Yunhua even guessed that even the heavens above might not have such a strange phenomenon.

"Beyond all the heavens, not even belonging to the heavens... What exactly is this place? What lies behind this passage?" Yunhua's curiosity grew.

The further they went, the more bizarre the place became. All laws were destroyed, and all powers, regardless of their level, would dissipate in that mysterious and unpredictable place.

Finally, the passage seemed to be coming to an end.

It was an ancient and mysterious place, a secluded land etched with the mottled aura of countless eras, seemingly transcending the heavens, crossing the river of time, and not even belonging to the past, present, or future.

Silence, desolation, grandeur, antiquity...

A sacred and solemn sacrificial sound seemed to permeate the heavens and earth, and in the distance, an altar appeared to materialize, through which Yunhua vaguely saw a series of broken scenes.

Someone is performing a ritual here.

"No, that's... black blood!" Yun Hua's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at something not far from the altar, something that was pitch black and looked like blood.

"Crack!!"

However, at that moment, two bolts of lightning suddenly streaked across the void, illuminating this sacred and supreme place. They were two gazes, as if some living being had awakened from this place.

Then, in an instant, the scene Yunhua saw became chaotic, and she could see nothing at all.

Yun Hua's soul trembled. The moment those two gazes appeared, he felt a deadly crisis. A terrifying pressure swept through countless ages and space, passing through this illusory passage.

This overwhelming pressure instantly wiped out Yun Hua's remaining consciousness within the passage.

But soon, a faint light emanated from the stone hairpin, instantly dispelling the terrifying pressure and turning it into a gentle breeze. At the same time, it obscured the heavenly secrets, preventing that gaze from detecting Yunhua's presence.

At this moment, Yunhua was certain that those two gazes were definitely those of the Immortal Emperor.

"Could that person with that gaze be the so-called 'High Priest'? The High Priest of the Black Blood Era?" Yun Hua had a vague guess in his heart.

"Chichi!"

After Yunhua shifted his attention away from the void passage, the dark matter in the black blood in front of him continued to disappear little by little. After absorbing the fully evolved black blood into his inner world, his own aura became increasingly terrifying.

The darkness gradually dissipated, and eventually, when all the dark matter was completely exhausted, Yunhua's sixth secret realm—the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm—unleashed its power, and a mysterious and unpredictable light surged into his body.

The passage that Yunhua had sensed earlier gradually blurred and then disappeared little by little until it was no longer visible.

“This feeling… this passage is indeed connected to the Gate of Potential.” Yunhua was suddenly stunned. As the darkness dissipated, he finally realized where the endless stream of dark matter was coming from.

"The passage connects to the Gate of Potential, opening a backdoor to it? So this is how dark matter erodes the human body!"

Yunhua carefully sensed that the light emanating from the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm completely blocked the back door of the Potential Gate, preventing dark matter from entering his body.

As the darkness dissipated, Yunhua felt completely relaxed, as if all worldly dust had been washed away, and her entire body radiated an unprecedented divine light.

These celestial lights were incredibly terrifying, and the symbols of the Great Dao were dazzling and astonishing, densely guarding his side.

Even more subtly, a faint, almost imperceptible radiance appeared within the immortal light emanating from his body. This radiance surpassed the level of an Immortal King, enough to ensure Yunhua's eternal existence.

"The light of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor has been strengthened. I didn't expect that refining the black blood would yield such a gain. Now I can break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm at any time!" Yun Hua breathed a sigh of relief, a look of ease appearing on his face.

Although the light of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is rather useless, even a tiny wisp of it can suppress an unparalleled Immortal King, because it represents surpassing the Immortal King and advancing towards the supreme "Emperor".

"However, I finally understand why Immortal King Kunjian and the others switched to cultivating the Heaven-Covering Technique... It turns out that what they wanted to do was not just to pollute all the heavens and myriad realms, but also to pollute the cultivation system of the Heaven-Covering Technique!" Yun Hua's mind was now completely clear, and he had roughly figured out the Dark Immortal King's purpose.

The dark matter connected to the Gate of Potential and was transmitted into the body of every cultivator through the Gate of Potential.

What does this mean? It means that the person who did this did not aim to pollute the heavens, but to completely pollute the system and the Heaven-Covering Law.

Once they succeed, anyone who cultivates the Heaven-Covering Technique will immediately fall into darkness.

"Now I understand why all the True Immortals who cultivated the Heaven-Covering Technique system in later generations fell into darkness. It turns out that this system was corrupted by them." Yun Hua was secretly shocked. So the corruption of the system began at this time.

Chapter 464 Quasi-Immortal Emperor Artifact

They had their subordinates cultivate the Heaven-Covering Technique, gradually exploring the mysteries of this system, figuring out its most important potential gate and the arrangement of the five great secret realms. Then, they specifically targeted this system with particular methods to corrupt it.

"You can't deal with the Desolate Emperor? So you use this method to cut off his escape route and his inheritance... It's amazing that you could find such a way!" Yunhua understood many things.

"No wonder the Sixth Secret Realm is the key to solving this systemic contamination? Because the Desolate Emperor has never casually passed on the secrets of the Sixth Secret Realm?"

"So the dark side has no idea about the Sixth Secret Realm. Maybe they guessed that there was a Sixth Secret Realm, but they don't understand the key and mystery of this secret realm."

"Therefore, the only way to solve the pollution of their entire system is to start with the Sixth Secret Realm."

The more Yunhua thought about it, the more mysterious the connections and mysteries between the various cultivation systems seemed to Yunhua. How could those Immortal Emperors of the Dark Side corrupt an entire cultivation system? How did they manage to find the source of the whole system?

"Wait a minute? They didn't attack from the source, but from the middle. Because the source of this system is the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, an existence they can't deal with; so they could only start halfway, corrupting the five great secret realms; therefore, the key to breaking the deadlock lies in this sixth secret realm..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the more Dark Immortal Kings who cultivate the Heaven-Covering Technique, the more severely this system is corrupted."

"But... as long as the Desolate Emperor doesn't die, this system will always have a glimmer of hope. Even as long as I don't die, this system will still have a chance to survive..."

"The current level of pollution? If you're careful and avoid darkness, it'll be fine."

Yunhua examined herself and vaguely understood something in her heart.

The darkness corrupts the five great realms, so anyone who opens up the sixth realm can also escape the darkness.

But the key point is that the sixth secret realm of the Heaven-Covering Technique is a very personalized thing, and everyone's sixth secret realm is different.

This makes this cultivation system a "kaleidoscope," with a hundred flowers blooming, and each person's cultivation progresses differently, enough to open up the boundaries of this system.

"The sixth secret realm of the Heaven-Covering Technique—every cultivator who opens up their own unique sixth secret realm greatly expands the scope of the Heaven-Covering Technique and paves a completely new path for this system. They are all... half-step Dao Ancestors!!"

The title "Dao Ancestor" is unique to those above the heavens. The founder of a system, the one who establishes a system, is respected regardless of one's level of attainment and can be called "Dao Ancestor".

As for the so-called "half-step Dao Ancestor," it is basically a title for someone who continues the path of their predecessors and creates a complete human being. Because they initially walked on the path of their predecessors, even if they later innovated and opened up a new world, they can only be called "half-step Dao Ancestor."

The complete Heaven-Covering Technique is such a special technique; it teaches half and creates the other half. Every person who attains enlightenment continues the broken path, creating their own unique secret realm. Therefore, every enlightened being can be called a "half-step Dao Ancestor."

"Everyone is a half-step Dao Ancestor, so to some extent, the Heaven-Covering Technique is a cultivation system that can never be completely corrupted. Even if it is corrupted to some extent, there will still be geniuses who break through the darkness, find their own path, and make great progress."

"Perhaps, the Desolate Emperor's decision was just a casual step, a decision made on a whim. But looking at it now, it seems so profound..."

The more Yunhua pondered and learned, the more he realized that the fact that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor hadn't passed down the method for the sixth secret realm was a brilliant move. It not only gave the Heaven-Covering Technique its greatest characteristics but also allowed future generations limitless possibilities and prevented the corruption of darkness.

“Now there is another matter that needs to be carefully considered!” Yun Hua pondered for a moment, and a huge chaotic-colored gate flew out from between his eyebrows.

This gate shimmers with various eternal and everlasting lights, while streams of chaotic energy and the primordial energy of all things hang down from it. Of course, the most eye-catching feature is the true meaning of the other shore engraved on the gate.

"Now we can truly begin to refine these origins of the Heavenly Dao..." After carefully sensing the state of the Gate of All Heavens, Yunhua couldn't help but smile.

He could sense that some of the power plundered from the Heavenly Dao's origins across multiple worlds was beginning to merge with the Gate of All Heavens, showing faint signs of integration. Clearly, these Heavenly Dao origins had begun to be refined.

"A quasi-Immortal Emperor's artifact must at least generate the light of a quasi-Immortal Emperor before it can be refined; of course, this is only the beginning. If one's cultivation does not improve, even if it takes several epochs, it will be impossible to refine it." As Yun Hua spoke, he sat down cross-legged and took out large chunks of immortal gold.

Dark Immortal Gold, Great Luo Immortal Gold, Seven-Colored Immortal Gold, Five Elements Immortal Gold, Void Immortal Gold, Time Immortal Gold...

"Boom!!"

In the chaos, flames soared into the sky. Yun Hua melted down pieces of immortal gold, then inscribed them with countless Dao runes, and finally poured them all into his Gate of All Heavens.

"Om!!"

The Gate of All Heavens trembled slightly, and the heavens and earth roared. The melodious humming sound transformed into mysterious and unfathomable chanting, resounding throughout the world.

With Yunhua's current cultivation level, which has reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, going all out to reforge his weapon, the scene is simply unimaginable.

All the immortal gold was incorporated into it. In particular, after the mountain-sized piece of time immortal gold was incorporated, the Gate of All Heavens underwent an unimaginable qualitative change. One could vaguely see strands of time power swirling around the gate, transforming into a long river of time.

The entire refining process lasted for over a hundred years. Afterward, a series of immortal gold artifacts flew out from inside the Yunhua Tower. These were the artifacts of the immortal kings that Yunhua had previously killed.

Previously, when Yunhua was refining the primordial spirits of these Immortal Kings, she didn't have the time or energy to melt their weapons into the Gate of All Heavens as well. But now she can finally free up her hands to deal with these weapons.

"boom!"

Yunhua first threw a large cauldron made of dark immortal gold into the flames of his weapon-refining process. Then he began to refine and decompose the Great Dao Laws inside the cauldron, gathering them into his Gate of All Heavens. At the same time, the material of the dark immortal gold was also refined into immortal gold essence and poured into the Overlord Bell.

Then, he threw a broken bow into the firelight, and instantly a murderous aura soared into the sky—a murderous aura powerful enough to pierce through the stars and the moon and break through the chaos.

Then came the third Immortal King artifact, the fourth Immortal King artifact...

Yunhua refined the Great Dao Laws from each of the Immortal King artifacts, and even extracted their own Immortal Gold Essence, which he then poured onto the Gate of All Heavens.

This process lasted for a full thousand years. After all the Immortal King artifacts were refined, Yunhua couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face.

In the process of refining these Immortal King artifacts and strengthening the power of the Gate of All Heavens, more of the Heavenly Dao Origin's power was refined by the Gate of All Heavens, becoming a complete part of it.

Imperial radiance and a profound meaning from the other shore poured down from the Gate of All Heavens, which then became the imperial artifact of a quasi-immortal emperor.

Chapter 465 Discussion

"The Gate of All Heavens has reached its limit at this stage!" Yun Hua casually put away his artifact for proving his Dao.

"I've been away for so long now, it's time to go back and take a look!" Yunhua turned her head and looked in the direction of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, then took a step forward.

Previously, I was worried that the black blood on my body would reveal the coordinates of my hometown, but now there are not so many problems.

Meanwhile, in a secret place above the heavens, beside a huge altar...

A figure opened their eyes, a hint of surprise in their expression: "I felt like someone was spying on us just now? Was it those old guys again? But when did they develop such abilities? I couldn't even catch a trace of them?"

Even in the heavens, the dark forces have enemies. They want to corrupt not only the lower realms, but also the heavens themselves.

However, because the situation in the Upper Realm is too complex, with countless cultivation systems from all the heavens converging there, there are definitely many Immortal Emperors here. Therefore, even if the Dark side is extremely powerful, it is impossible for them to sweep across the entire Upper Realm.

"No, it's not those old guys, it's the lower realm... a passage has been closed? Someone from that system has taken that step again?" The man frowned, a hint of anger appearing on his face.

"It's that system again, and that damned Huang again. He's too troublesome, much more troublesome than those old guys. The cultivation system he left behind is also too heaven-defying. How many years has it been, and someone is already taking that step again?" The man's face grew increasingly grim.

"This cultivation system must be completely destroyed! We need to speed up the process..." the person then transmitted.

Soon, some people in the heavens began to act...

On the other side, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Yunhua returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths once again. Facing the familiar starry sky and star field, Yunhua couldn't help but smile.

With one step, the stars shifted and the world changed; in the blink of an eye, he was back in the celestial realm.

"You're back. How did things go?" The ruthless man appeared as soon as he returned to his usual seated platform.

She also knew that Yunhua had left this universe to explore the secrets of Black Blood.

Yunhua nodded slightly and said, "It's not optimistic; it's more serious than I imagined. I used to agree with the Emperor and the others' idea of ​​sending all the heroes in the universe to fight against the darkness, but now I think that decision was a bit hasty."

"This matter requires careful consideration. I have uncovered a hidden conspiracy from the shadows."

Yun Hua's expression turned solemn. He then looked towards the void of the universe and said, "Everyone, please come to my Heavenly Domain for a chat."

His voice wasn't loud, and it didn't cause any ripples in the universe, but the Emperor, the Great Emperor Wushi, the Azure Emperor, and the Nine Heavenly Venerables all opened their eyes.

"The Heavenly Emperor has returned? He left for hundreds of years, bringing back more news of darkness?" The Emperor opened his eyes, a hint of joy in them, and a sense of eagerness on his face.

Since becoming a mortal immortal, he has found it difficult to find the passion and fighting spirit for battle. When he finally heard news about darkness, he was genuinely excited and couldn't wait to fight against that darkness.

Not only the Emperor, but also the Great Emperor Wushi and the Azure Emperor, opened their eyes excitedly, then got up and came to the Heavenly Domain together.

Even the great celestial beings who usually recited the Yellow Court Classic in silence and were detached from worldly affairs became very curious about the darkness and followed along.
