Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 188 Two roads
"The secret of the first word that I had been unable to comprehend was unexpectedly cultivated." As soon as Ye Fan woke up, a mystery naturally emerged in his mind.

He had been trying to comprehend the secret of the first word for a long time, but had not made much progress. Just now, he suddenly succeeded.

"Could it be that what I just saw was really a glimpse of the future?" Ye Fan was shocked at once.

Thinking of the extremely bleak future, Ye Fan felt extremely heavy in his heart and he could not see any hope at all.

Although his cultivation level had increased rapidly and he could enter the fourth step of the Immortal Platform at any time, and it was not even the initial level, he did not feel the slightest bit of joy.

Especially in the last battle, the enemies were not only powerful, but also outnumbered. He couldn't think of how to defeat them.

"Is the future really predetermined?" Ye Fan whispered, feeling cold all over and a little suffocated.

After a while, Ye Fan's eyes flickered and he saw the pattern on the stone wall in front of him. It was a hexagonal divine plate, engraved with complicated innate patterns, and Taoist texts were written on the edge.

Looking at those Taoist texts, Ye Fan felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

The Taoist text clearly states that this is the Dao imprint of the magical tool used to achieve enlightenment by a great figure from the ancient era of immortals, named the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

That immortal king studied reincarnation, achieved enlightenment through reincarnation, and went extremely far on the road of reincarnation, with no one able to match him.

"Studying reincarnation to achieve enlightenment..." Looking at the text, Ye Fan thought to himself, "So reincarnation is also shrouded in mystery in the realm of immortals. The Immortal King doesn't seem to be an ordinary immortal. He is not able to control reincarnation. It seems that the water of reincarnation is deeper than I imagined..."

Looking at Dao Wen, he already understood what had just happened.

Normal cultivators who come here and get close to the mark can enter the illusory reincarnation world and train their spiritual consciousness, which is a considerable reward.

However, if someone who possesses time-type secret arts, or future-foreseeing secret arts, or both, comes here and activates the imprint of the Samsara Disk Avenue, there is a certain possibility of forming a time and space reincarnation, and may return to the past or go to the future.

As for how to go back to the past or the future, and how far back in the past or the future one can go back, it depends on the type of secret technique and its upper limit.

If it is the Immortal King's secret technique, it may exhaust the power of the reincarnation disk's imprint and last for a million or even tens of millions of years.

"In other words, time is really running out..." Ye Fan sighed.

Jiumi is a secret art created by Gu Tianzun. Perhaps the corner of the future he saw, if he was optimistic and had good luck, would be at most hundreds of thousands of years later; if he was pessimistic and had bad luck, it would be thousands or even tens of thousands of years later.

"Maybe it's shorter than I thought!" Ye Fan calmed himself down and continued to move forward.

With a 'swish', he disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was teleported to a magnificent city wall.

The city walls are tall, and there is an ancient stone gate every few meters, engraved with ferocious beasts, gods, and immortals, as if they have life.

The carvings are lifelike, as if they seem to be flying out, giving people an indescribable sense of ferocity.

At the top of the city wall, there is a line of Taoist text written. No matter what period, anyone who has achieved success in spiritual practice can understand the true meaning.

"Break through the 108 levels of the Primordial Wall to obtain the Divine Instructions for the Primordial Truth!"

Looking at the line of text, Ye Fan touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

At present, although he has no shortage of scriptures, the scriptures he practices are the strongest known scriptures. He is also ready to create his own scriptures, and even has a vague outline.

However, he was still quite curious about the so-called 'original true explanation' on the city wall.

In the path of spiritual practice, the original and the primordial are not the same, and there is a certain connection between them, but they cannot be confused and lumped together.

"The original true explanation refers to the explanation and understanding of Tao in its original state?" Ye Fan nodded slightly, and understood something in his heart.

Then he walked towards the first stone door, pushed it open gently, and stepped into it.

The Primordial Wall, which Fang Ming obtained by rubbing the original carvings on the Primordial Gate, is similar to the Wall of Gods and Demons.

There are not just one such primitive walls, but many. Naturally, Ye Fan is not the only one who encounters them, many people will encounter them.

The original true explanation of the Divine Guidance Chapter is not something too amazing. On the perfect side, many people have the Divine Guidance Chapter.

The difficulty level set by Fang Ming is naturally not too difficult. Someone who truly possesses the qualifications of an emperor can barely break through it.

"Rumble..."

This was a fierce battle. The opponent was a glutton. Its mouth was wide open enough to swallow the sun, moon, and stars, and could melt everything. It was no different from a black hole in the starry sky.

Golden energy and blood penetrated the sky, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist was swung, the invincible fist intent was shocking, the black hole shattered, and Taotie turned into a spot of light and scattered.

Ye Fan went from one mountain to another without stopping. Later, he felt that the enemy's strength was no less than that of the ancient prince.

Golden holy blood flew everywhere. After all, Ye Fan was a fierce man in the anti-battle road, and he pushed through all 108 levels.

Finally, a crystal jade book appeared out of thin air and landed in front of him, surrounded by fairy air and spreading the breath of the Tao.

He opened the jade book, intending to take a quick look at what the immortal scriptures looked like, but after just one glance, Ye Fan was immersed in it.

In the Jade Book, the most simple symbols of the Tao are used to describe the rules of the origin, and the most complex mysteries of the Tao are explained in the simplest way.

The profound mysteries of the great Dao of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the human body, and the mysteries hidden within the various races of the heavens are all clearly explained, vividly depicted by the author through the lens of battle. When the original true explanation was created, the creator must have considered those who would come after them, which is why this scripture is able to span multiple systems and be universally applicable.

You should know that from the time when the scriptures were created to the ancient times of immortals and chaos, countless epochs have passed, and five quasi-immortal emperors were born!

The system of spiritual practice has changed over and over again, but this scripture is still applicable.

Therefore, even in the current secret realm system, one can still use it to practice.

For several days, Ye Fan was immersed in the mystery of this original true explanation. The explanation of various great principles in it made him sigh, "So that's it."

"What an amazing scripture, it is worthy of being an immortal scripture. It must have been written by a great figure in the immortal world." Ye Fan carefully put the scripture away, intending to take it back for his friends in Tianzhi Village to study together.

Half a month later, Ye Fan reached the top of the mountain which was glowing with seven-colored fairy light.

For a moment, he was stunned. The top of the mountain was not too big. There stood a golden cliff hundreds of feet high. Under the golden cliff, a young man stood with his hands behind his back. He had a calm expression, as if he was contemplating something.

The young man had a tall and straight figure, with loose black hair. He had a transcendent temperament and gave people a feeling of being as handsome as jade. He had a unique aura and could suppress the universe by himself, like an immortal king walking in the world.

Looking at the young man, Ye Fan's eyelids twitched, and he felt that he looked very familiar. He said uncertainly, "Senior Gai Jiuyou?"

Instantly, the young man opened his eyes, and after seeing Ye Fan, a smile appeared on his heroic face. He said, "It's me. I got a divine fruit that extended my lifespan for a lifetime. I've made some breakthroughs."

Hearing Gai Jiuyou's words, Ye Fan was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Senior, have you achieved enlightenment and become an emperor?"

If Gai Jiuyou could achieve enlightenment and become an emperor, he would have no more worries and all problems would be solved. The so-called ancient races would be nothing to worry about and he could suppress them with just one finger.

Of course, even if he didn't become an emperor, it wouldn't matter. With the realm he was about to reach, he would undoubtedly be one of the strongest people under the starry sky.

"I'm not a Great Emperor, I can only be called the Supreme Supreme." Gai Jiuyou shook his head and said, "Although I have broken through my original realm and am on the same level as the former Great Emperor, compared to the Great Emperor and the Ancient Emperor, I lack something and there is still a certain difference."

"The Supreme Supreme?" Ye Fan was puzzled, then asked, "What is missing from the senior compared to the ancient emperor?"

"The Mark of the Heart of Heaven." Gai Jiuyou explained, "The ancient great emperors attained enlightenment, their bodies becoming one with the Heart of Heaven. Their Dao overwhelmed all Daos, their own Dao imprinted upon the universe, dominating it."

He looked up at the sky and said quietly, "This world has no Heavenly Heart Seal. Although I have achieved enlightenment here, I have unified all the Daos. However, I cannot suppress all the Daos with one Dao like the ancient emperors did. I am just on par with them. Therefore, I can only be considered the Supreme Dao."

"I see." Ye Fan suddenly realized and then asked, "Since Senior has recovered to his peak, why don't you return to the original world and then attain enlightenment?"

"Could it be that there are any benefits to achieving enlightenment in this world?" Ye Fan guessed thoughtfully.

"It is indeed beneficial, and the benefits are not small. It is related to the cultivation of the immortal realm." Gai Jiuyou smiled and said, "But this matter is still far from you. It is not yet time for you to make a decision. There is no need to rush to make a choice."

"It seems like there are two roads?" Ye Fan guessed.

"There are two paths." Gai Jiuyou nodded and said, "One of them is not purely relying on oneself, and the other is purely relying on oneself."

"The latter has a higher ceiling and is a path to the pinnacle, while the former has a relatively lower ceiling." Gai Jiuyou looked at Ye Fan and said, "You don't need to worry about the details yet, just go your own way."

"Then senior..." Ye Fan's heart sank. Thinking of the future he had seen, he suddenly realized something.

For some very urgent reasons, Gai Jiuyou chose a path with a lower ceiling.

Gai Jiuyou smiled carefreely and said, "Nothing is absolute. It's possible to change paths in the future. The most urgent thing now is to improve myself as much as possible. This is true for you, and it's also true for me."

"Besides, the so-called upper limit is not that high. In fact, it is relative. The upper limit is also terrifyingly high." He said with a smile.

Recalling the various secrets he had learned, Gai Jiuyou was still frightened. Although he was confident, he did not think he had surpassed the former Immortal King.

Thinking of the secrets recorded in ancient books, he felt that he must take precautions in advance and become as powerful as possible, otherwise their world would sooner or later end up like the fairyland.

Ye Fan nodded, then said, "Senior, I had a fortuitous encounter a while ago, and saw a glimpse of the future. This is what happened..."

He described the glimpse of the future that he had seen!

Instantly, Gai Jiuyou's expression became extremely solemn. After a while, he patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and said seriously: "Practice well. The future is not predetermined. It is just a possibility. Don't take it seriously."

"Don't worry, senior. I naturally understand the reasoning behind this." Ye Fan nodded calmly.

The reason for making this matter known is that Gai Jiuyou is the person with the highest cultivation level at the moment, the invincible one under the starry sky, and will definitely be one of the people in charge in the future.

"There are many opportunities in this world. This peak is called the Immortal Peak. It records an unparalleled Dharma. You can go and try it. I missed it a little bit just now and only got to the fragment." Gai Jiuyou looked at Ye Fan and said, "The opportunities over there on the Starry Sky Ancient Road are not as good as this place. I think there is no need to go there."

"After a while, I will reopen the ancient road and lead the ancient road of my human race to this world." He said with a serious expression.

Ye Fan nodded, then walked towards the golden mountain.

A day later, the seriously injured and dying Ye Fan appeared out of nowhere with a happy look on his face, followed Gai Jiuyou out of this fairy mountain and walked towards the outside world.

Apart from the two of them, no one else can reach the top of the fairy mountain.

Shortly after the two left, Fang Ming's slightly illusory figure appeared. He looked at their departing backs with deep eyes, appearing a little surprised.
